Golden Globes 2019: The Red Carpet's Best and Worst Dressed

Awards show red carpets almost never disappoint. And while the main attraction at the Golden Globes are the movies and television shows being honoured, a close runner-up is the fashion. Last year’s Golden Globes were very different as the women of Hollywood all wore black in solidarity with the Time’s Up movement. This year, however, rather than show their unity via their sartorial choices, we saw it with bracelets and pins marked with “Time’s Up X2.” But that doesn’t mean the fashion wasn’t at the forefront. On the contrary, the stars aimed high. And there were definitely some hits, along with some misses.

Best: Sandra Oh

As co-host, Oh got to switch it up a few times (she also wore a red, low-cut, long-sleeve frock and a white dress with sparkly gold balloon sleeves) but it was what she started off the night in, this off-white gown, that brought the drama. Spectacular.

His teal jacket, matching waistcoat and the suede brogues? Stop it. He ain't the Sexiest Man Alive for nothing. Standing next to his fiance Sabrina Dhowre and daughter Isan, that's one good lookin' family.

Worst: Lady Gaga

It's devastating that she's on this side of the list because the colour and cut of her gown is gorge. Not to mention that she matched her hair to it. BUT those pillowcase muffs! Dress destroyers.

Speaking of bad fashion, these trends need to go ASAP.

This bold-printed dress with sheer overlay is like an underwater cartoon come to life. Can we drown it?

Worst: D’Arcy Carden

Her orange dress with blue halter neck tie looks like high school home ec project gone awry. Or a Stitched reject.

Joanna Newsom in a beige scalloped-edge dress with heart bodice

Worst: Joanna Newsom

The heart on her tea-length frock might be a giant sign to show Golden Globes' co-host (and husband/baby daddy) Andy Samberg her love, but it's a little too cheese. And if only it was the colour of cheddar. Because this just washes her out.

Her tiered embellished number is basically a black Christmas tree in dress form.

Worst: Kate Mara

Peach isn't a colour you often see on a red carpet. And this gown is proof as to why.

Here are other red carpet looks that need to go bye-bye forever.

Worst: Elsie Fisher

Her merlot-toned velvet suit couldn't be more wrong for the event. This is more safari than awards ceremony.

Claire Foy in a yellow dress with sliver embellishments

Worst: Claire Foy

The colour is great, but those embellished fireworks splattered on the skirt transforms the gown into one of those dresses you find in that store in the mall that no one shops in.

Rachel Weisz in a black dress with white ruffles on top

Worst: Julianne Moore

Can't tell if this is two pieces or one. Either way, it's not great. She can do better.
