Gillian Anderson, who notably played the very open-minded sex therapist, Dr Jean Milburn, on Sex Education, wore a strapless white ballgown that seemed rather simple and moderate at first glance.

As it turns out, the 55-year-old actress’ gown turned out to be one of the outfits that stood out the most at the Golden Globes, due to its unique design.

The Gabriela Hearst creation had subtle vulva-inspired embroidery on the voluminous skirt. 

When asked about the surprising twist, Gillian told Deadline that it was "brand-appropriate." She said: "[I wore it] for so many reasons. It's brand appropriate." 

She went on to explain: "It’s covered in peonies!"

Margot Robbie rocked yet another Barbie outfit, representing the film that was an awards season frontrunner.

The 33-year-old actress stood out on the red carpet, wearing a Barbie doll look from 1977.

The nominee revealed, during the Golden Globes pre-show presented by Variety and Entertainment Tonight, that she had teamed up with Armani to recreate the Superstar Barbie’s outfit from 1977.

The Barbie movie grossed $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office over the summer to become the top-grossing film of 2023 and the highest-grossing film in Warner Bros.’ history.

“It’s more about what that number represents,” Margot said when asked about the box office gross. She further stated: “When we would go to the theater on opening weekend and see this sea of people wearing pink or dressed up as Ken, it was such a wild feeling, and I haven’t seen this communal kind of experience since I was a kid.”

Da'Vine Joy Randolph was awarded Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mary Lamb in The Holdovers.

The 37-year-old actress stood out wearing a custom Rodarte dress and jewelry by Reza and Effy.

"To Alexander Payne, thank you for giving me the opportunity to portray this beautiful and flawed woman," Da’Vine said in her speech, as per People. She added that her "partners in crime," costars Paul Giamatti and Dominic Sessa, were "an absolute dream to work with, and I thank you for making me a better artist because of it."
