Golden Globes 2025 beauty looks we're obsessed with
Awards season is officially upon us as we kick off the new year with the Golden Globes 2025. Tonight's ceremony sets the tone for the next few months, bringing together the top actors in film and television to celebrate the best performances of the year. And as usual, celebrities brought their beauty A-game with flawless makeup and hair—but not without some surprises and bold looks in the mix.
Old Hollywood glamour is very much trending for 2025, with red lips spotted on the likes of Alexandra Daddario, Viola Davis, and Naomi Watts. Meanwhile, neutral soft glam continues to reign supreme, with everyone from Cynthia Erivo and Jennifer Coolidge to Zoe Saldaña and Anna Sawai proving that less is more.
As for surprises, subtle hair colour dye jobs were spotted on Zendaya and Ariana Grande, while Nicole Kidman wowed in a bold bouffant reminiscent of the Bump It (complimentary). But the award for biggest transformation went to Emma Stone, who debuted a wispy pixie cut following rumours last year that she shaved her head for an upcoming film.
Ahead, see the best beauty looks at the Golden Globes 2025.

The Challengers star went classic with a polished Old Hollywood bob. She complimented her copper gown with what appears to be a redder hair color as well as bronze makeup. To get her voluminous hairstyle, stylist Coree Moreno used GHD hair tools, Nexxus Epic Shine Anti Humidity Spray and Bellami Hair’s Silk Seam Clip-In Extensions.

Muted neutrals and a mulberry lip set the stage for Erivo's stunning smile. For her radiant glow, makeup artist Joanna Simkin prepped the skin with Summer Fridays Rich Cushion Cream before applying Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer and High Beam.

The Shōgun actor gave us a master class in soft glam with glowing skin by facialist Iván Poland and nude glam by Dior Beauty. Makeup artist Yukari Obayashi used a combination of Rouge Dior Contour in Rose Spice and Rose Nude to create the perfect rosy shade. Sawai finished off her minimalist look with an elegant updo.

Gomez looks every inch the movie star with an Old Hollywood bob, porcelain skin, and pink lips. Hairstylist Renato Campora was “inspired by icons Sofia Loren, Lauren Bacall, and Marilyn Monroe" and used Great Lengths Essenza Aria Tape-In Extensions and GHD hair tools to get the look. Keeping in line with her classic vibe, Gomez opted for a French manicure by manicurist Tom Bachik using Olive & June nail polish.
Makeup artist Hung Vanngo first prepped her complexion with SK-II skin care before applying a full face of (what else?) Rare Beauty. For her rosy lips and cheeks, Vanngo used the Kind Words Matte Lipstick in Lively, Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm in Nearly Rose, and Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush in Happy.

Glowing skin and neutral glam complimented Saldaña's black sequin gown nicely. To get her flawless complexion, facialist Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine prepped using Augustinus Bader products before makeup artist Vera Steimberg treated her skin with the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2.

Kidman's hair is giving Bump It and we are 100% here for it. For XXL volume, hairstylist Adir Abergel used Virtue products, Kristin Ess Hair hot tools, Bellami Hair extensions, and Denman brushes. For the perfect nude nail, manicurist Thuy Nguyen applied two coats of Aprés Nail Returning Horizon and sealed it with the Non-Wipe Glossy Top Gelcoat.
