Golden Globes Fashion Preview: What to Expect on the Red Carpet in January 2027

The Golden Globes open awards season, and the red carpet is half the show. The 84th Golden Globes take place on Sunday, 10 January 2027, and while no nominees, presenters or designer looks have been confirmed yet, the confirmed facts and last January’s carpet already tell us a great deal about what to expect.

This preview sticks to what is verified and labels the rest as expectation. If a website already claims to know who is wearing what in January, treat it with caution: the nominations are not even announced yet.

The confirmed facts

Here is what the Golden Globes organisation itself confirmed in the timetable it published on 7 May 2026, still current when checked on 9 November 2026:

• The ceremony: Sunday, 10 January 2027, 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, live from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
• The host: comedian Nikki Glaser, returning for a third year in a row after hosting in 2025 and 2026.
• Where to watch: live on CBS in the United States, and streaming on Paramount+ in the US.
• The nominations: Monday, 7 December 2026, 5:00 a.m. Pacific time.
• The production: Dick Clark Productions produces the ceremony, the first major awards show of the season.

The red carpet traditionally begins in the hours before the 5 p.m. ceremony, though the Globes have not published a separate red-carpet start time as of 9 November 2026 — so do not trust a specific carpet time quoted without a source.

If you are outside the United States: as of 9 November 2026, no broadcaster or streaming partner for the United Kingdom, Australia or Canada has been confirmed. Check the official Golden Globes channels as January approaches.

What we do not know yet — and why that matters

The nominations come out on 7 December 2026. Until then, nobody knows who will be in the room — or whose stylist is planning what. Presenters, red-carpet hosts and designer credits come later still. Any “confirmed” January 2027 look you see online before 7 December is, at best, a rumour.

That is why this article leans on January 2026: the 83rd Golden Globes took place on 11 January 2026 at the same venue, the Beverly Hilton, with the same host. That carpet set the tone for the year, and its patterns are the best evidence for January 2027.

What last January’s carpet told us

The 83rd Golden Globes red carpet was not about shock value. Coverage described a mood of considered glamour: craftsmanship, silhouette confidence and subtle risk-taking rather than headline-grabbing gimmicks.

Black dominated — but it was not boring. Black gowns were everywhere, from Selena Gomez in custom black velvet Chanel to Ayo Edebiri in an off-the-shoulder black velvet Chanel gown from the Métiers d’Art 2026 collection, and Ariana Grande in a custom black Vivienne Westwood ball gown. The variety came from texture and construction — velvet, fringe, cut-outs, feathered necklines — rather than colour.

Sheer dressing stayed in play. Jennifer Lawrence wore a sheer, nude-toned Givenchy gown by Sarah Burton, covered in floral embroidery, sequins and hand-stitched beads. Lisa chose a sheer black Jacquemus gown for her Golden Globes debut. Jenna Ortega stayed true to her gothic aesthetic in a Dilara Findikoglu two-piece with tassels and cut-outs.

Sculptural couture was the night’s biggest statement. Teyana Taylor’s custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown — deep midnight black, with sculptural cut-outs — was widely described as one of the most talked-about looks of the night. It was fashion as architecture.

Archival fashion arrived. Odessa A’Zion wore a vintage Dolce & Gabbana coat, and several stars leaned into archival silhouettes. Vintage looks photograph distinctively, carry a story, and sidestep the question of who wore the newest thing.

Menswear was sharper than ever. Michael B. Jordan wore a custom Prada cacao wool double-breasted tuxedo with a pale-yellow shirt; Jacob Elordi chose Bottega Veneta with Cartier jewellery and blue-tinted sunglasses; Colman Domingo adorned a black Valentino suit with nearly a dozen diamond brooches. Classic tailoring, broken up by one deliberate twist.

What to expect in January 2027

Here is what to expect — framed as expectation, not fact.

Expect black to lead again, with texture doing the work. Look for velvet, sequins, fringe and sculptural shapes rather than plain black columns.

Expect sheer dressing to continue, and archival looks to grow. Both fit the Globes’ mood: glamorous, but with a story behind the choice.

Expect at least one sculptural show-stopper. Every recent Globes has had one — in 2026 it was Taylor’s Schiaparelli. The couture houses — Schiaparelli, Chanel, Dior, Valentino, Givenchy — all featured prominently last year.

Expect menswear to keep pushing. Brooches, coloured shirts under black tailoring, sunglasses on the carpet — the men are no longer an afterthought.

Expect the host’s looks to set the tone: Nikki Glaser’s bubblegum pink Zuhair Murad gown opened the 2026 show, and she will likely change outfits through the night.

How to follow the fashion on the night

The ceremony airs at 5 p.m. Pacific on Sunday, 10 January 2027 — 8 p.m. Eastern in the US, and Monday morning in the UK, Australia and much of the rest of the world.

The fastest reliable source for who wore what is the official Golden Globes website and its social channels, followed by the fashion desks of established outlets. Social media will be faster, but it will also be full of mislabelled photos, old looks passed off as new, and AI-generated images. Check a dramatic-looking look against a second source before sharing it — our guide to How to Check a Viral News Claim Before You Share It explains the habit, and How to Read News 2026: Verify, Compare, Think Before You Share sets out the same approach for awards season.
