Several celebrities at the 2025 Golden Globes drew both praise and criticism for their red-carpet choices. While major wins were celebrated, including accolades for the television series "Shogun" and the film "Emilia Pérez", some outfits failed to impress. Social media buzzed with comments about the evening's fashion choices, with some looks deemed less successful than others.
Among the notable missteps were the choices of several prominent actors. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, in a lilac suit, was seen as a less-than-ideal choice for the evening's formal setting. The color, while perhaps suitable for a more casual occasion, didn't appear to align with the expected aesthetic of the event. This sentiment was mirrored by public reactions to other choices.
Jennifer Coolidge's all-black gown, while classic, was viewed as less than expressive, not capturing the playful energy often associated with the actress. Similarly, Elle Fanning's cheetah-print gown, while attempting a 1950s inspired style, failed to garner widespread approval. Criticism centered on the unusual combination of elements and the perceived clash between the upper and lower parts of the garment.
Kathryn Hahn's two-tone dress, a blend of black and yellow, was deemed a significant disappointment by many online commenters. The overall design, described as "witchy" by some, failed to resonate with the broader audience, resulting in negative feedback.
Andrew Scott's bold Vivienne Westwood suit also attracted considerable negative attention. The bright blue hue and perceived novelty of the suit were viewed as unusual and unconventionally styled for the occasion.
Cate Blanchett's reuse of a previously worn Louis Vuitton gown from the Cannes Film Festival generated mixed reactions. While some appreciated the designer's versatility, others saw it as a less-than-innovative approach to the red carpet.
The 2025 Golden Globes demonstrated a spectrum of opinions regarding sartorial choices, highlighting the subjectivity involved in assessing fashion on such a high-profile stage.
