Top stars arrive for Golden Globes 2026 as Brittany Snow leads red carpet best dressed

On Sunday, the biggest stars in Hollywood gathered at the famous Beverly Hilton Hotel for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, a dazzling night of celebration.

Brittany Snow, known for her role in The Hunting Wives, looked stunning on the red carpet. She wore a sleeveless, cream-colored dress by Danielle Frankel that showed off her fit arms.

The actress completed her look with EFFY jewelry and styled her blonde hair up, with a few loose strands softening her features.

Justine Lupe of Secession wore a dreamy, pale pink dress with delicate beading.

Meanwhile Jeannie Mai showed off her legs strapless black gown with a sultry thigh-high slit. 

The gown featured shimmering gold horizontal embellishments across the bodice. 

Gayle King, Oprah’s close friend, was one of the first to arrive on the red carpet, wearing a beautiful cream-colored dress covered in beads.

Amanda Kloots dazzled in a backless black gown, with her blonde hair slicked into a chic updo. 

Kit Hoover was also among the early arrivals, looking glamorous in a baby blue gown. 

Dylan Efron, Zac Efron’s brother, looked sharp in a black suit paired with a light blue shirt.

Efron, who recently appeared on Dancing With The Stars, accessorized with a silver watch.

Nikki Glaser is returning as host for the second year, and she’s expected to bring her famously unfiltered and bold comedy to the event, likely keeping the celebrity guests on their toes.

In a statement released in March, comedian Jo Koy, 41, said hosting the Golden Globes was the most enjoyable experience of his career. He jokingly expressed hope to return as host and finally land a role on ‘The White Lotus’ – specifically, as a mysterious Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a hidden past.

Oh my gosh, you guys, it’s One Battle After Another who’s absolutely dominating the nominations! Nine nominations – can you believe it?! They’re clearly the frontrunners, and I’m so excited for them! It’s amazing!

The film will be up against Blue Moon, Bugonia, Marty Supreme, No Other Choice, and Nouvelle Vague for the Best Musical or Comedy award, although many were surprised that Wicked: For Good didn’t receive a nomination.

The films competing for Best Picture – Drama are Frankenstein, Hamnet, It Was Just An Accident, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Values, and Sinners.

The popular Netflix series Adolescence continued its award-winning streak, earning nominations for its entire cast. Stars Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and Owen Cooper (age 16) were all recognized, and Ashley Walters received a surprising nomination as well.

The show received a nomination for Best Limited TV Series, Anthology Series, or TV Movie, joining titles like All Her Fault, The Beast in Me, Black Mirror, Dying for Sex, and The Girlfriend. This brings the show’s total nominations to five.

Despite stiff competition from ‘Adolescence’, ‘The White Lotus’ received slightly more nominations – six in total. This was largely due to the show’s strong performances from its talented cast.

Ryan Coogler’s film, Sinners, received seven nominations, while Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet and Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good each earned five nominations.

Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love), Tessa Thompson (Hedda), and Julia Roberts (After The Hunt) were nominated, along with Eva Victor, who received a surprise nomination for her performance in the independent film, Sorry, Baby.
