On the 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet, the Winner Is Bright Colors

It’s the start of a new year and that means a new season of award show dressing. If the 2025 Golden Globes saw our favorite celebrities lean into metallics and sequins, this year we’re noticing a strong early preference for the boldest of colors.

Among the early arrivals at the 2026 Golden Globes, stars like Wunmi Mosaku, Laufey, and Chase Sui Wonders are embracing electric brights, with hues reminiscent of the colors in crayon boxes. Where does this new taste for almost-neons come from? Pierpaolo Piccioli’s spring 2026 Balenciaga debut included a plethora of colors, and wouldn’t you know? Both Laufey and Chase Sui Wonders are wearing dresses from the designer.

The red carpet season is only just beginning, but this colorful reset has us excited about what comes next. Scroll through for our favorite looks from the 2026 Golden Globes below.
