Every year, awards season kicks off with the Golden Globe Awards, a show dedicated to celebrating the cinematic achievements of the year before. In 2024, the Globes are recognizing several films that are destined to be classics, such as Past Lives, Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie, The Holdovers, Oppenheimer, and more. The Globes also celebrate the creatives behind these films, including actors like Cillian Murphy and Lily Gladstone along with directors like Celine Song and Greta Gerwig.
But while we wait with bated breath to see who will go home with honors like Best Motion Picture and Best Screenplay, we can't help but take notice of the showstopping looks these creatives are wearing on the red carpet—especially in terms of beauty. From bold makeup to daring hairdos, these are some of our favorite looks on one of Hollywood's biggest nights out.
Lily Gladstone, who took home the Golden Globe for her outstanding performance in Killers of the Flower Moon, easily had one of the best updos of the evening. Her braided chignon, which featured a face framing tendril, was the work of hairstylist Marc Mena. He used a full lineup of Better Not Younger hair products. The MVP? The Wake Up Call High-Hold Thickening Hairspray.
It was only appropriate that Barbie director Greta Gerwig arrived to the Golden Globes with a hint of pink in her complexion. Add the pop of pink blush with her gorgeous, glowing complexion (makeup artist Molly Stern prepped the director with Le Domaine skincare) and it's easy to see why Gerwig tops our list.
