Fairy-floss gowns, thigh-high splits and sharp tuxes – the Golden Globes were a head-turning debut to this year’s awards season.
From strapless and sleek dresses, to tulle and flounce, Hollywood saw its first proper red carpet of the year in Los Angeles … and it did not disappoint.
Known as the biggest party in Hollywood, the Golden Globes mark the start of the 2020 awards show calendar, with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and 1917 among the big winners.
Australian star Margot Robbie was an early contender for best dressed of the night, wearing strapless Chanel and dressed by Hollywood mega-stylist, Kate Young.

Speaking to E! outside the Golden Globes, Bombshell nominee Robbie said she used social media to prepare for her role as ambitious reporter Kayla Pospisil in the political drama, to uncover what “conservative millennial girls were thinking and saying”.
“I didn’t understand her to begin with,” Robbie told Variety of the role, ahead of the Golden Globes.
“But my process is to do a ton of research, consider every single option, know every single situation, scenario, thought and motivation inside and out, so I can step onto set and then let it all go.”
Princess-style pastels and tulle were early trends of this year’s Golden Globes, as seen on Dakota Fanning, Kirsten Dunst and Disney starlet Sofia Carson.

Renée Zellweger, who seemed to skip the red carpet entirely, won Best Actress for her role as Judy Garland in the biopic, Judy.
When asked by Vogue how she felt about her performance being the subject of awards chatter, Zellweger was quick to brush it off.
“I don’t think about that. I’m on the inside of this experience, you know?” Zellweger previously told Vogue Australia. “It’s a blessing to be part of that celebration of her and her legacy, so I mean that’s treasure isn’t it?”
