23 Worst Dressed Celebrities At The 2025 Golden Globes, Featuring Ariana Grande And Cynthia Erivo
There’s little doubt of the fact that the Golden Globes red carpet has become a showcase for high fashion, with high stakes motivating the industry’s best designers to come up with ambitious—and sometimes disastrous—outfits for the stars.
The night’s floral theme allowed for an extra level of creativity and color not commonly seen at awards shows, which gave designers extra room to experiment with shapes and shades…for better or for worse.
From awkwardly tailored suits to misguided, statement-making fashion risks that unfortunately fell flat with audiences, here’s a comprehensive list of the worst outfits according to fans of the show.
“At some point, shouldn’t you be like, ‘No way I’m wearing that’?” one viewer asked.

Cynthia Erivo
I kinda like it, however it does give her boobs a squashed appearance
She and Grande are f*****g insufferable together. My blood sugar rises whenever I hear the two of them together. And I thought Billie Porter was the worst DIVA...
I want to go see Wicked, but I dislike them together so much I can't bring myself to go.

Sorry - don't know how to post formatted links on BP.

The Succession star wore a teal velour suit paired with a white turtle neck, a bucket hat, and oversized, orange-colored sunglasses.
Viewers felt the outfit was out of place for an event like the Golden Globes, feeling the actor stood out but not in a good way.
Agreed. Take that off and I'd say he looked pretty cool.
Load More Replies...I like it! He looks like he stepped out of a mid '70's JC Penny catalog.
He looks like the guy in the movie that the mafia all suspect of being an undercover cop so they say nothing important in his presence.
Kerry Washington
Some viewers slammed the actress and producer for wrapping herself in a bright pink fabric, saying the outfit lacked cohesion and looked “improvised.”
That 'casually wrapped around her' look probably took a long time to get right - unfortunately it looks as though it's casually wrapped around her.
Again, what people don't realize is that the duvets in Los Angeles are really clingy. This poor woman is so tangled that she was force to wear it as a dress
Load More Replies...The dress isn't my taste, but the color scheme is working for me. The hot pink and black, especially the long black gloves standing out against the vivid pink and complimenting her long black hair.
At least she used the top sheet and left the fitted one on the bed.
How to save money by wrapping a sheet around yourself. Could've worked but the black gloves really don't go with it.
Looks like she just crawled out of bed using her sheets to cover herself. This dress is a total miss.
Naomi Watts
Watts donned one of the most peculiar dresses of the night, with an understated and elegant black-velvet, strapless dress inexplicably ending in what some described as a “mushroom-shaped" pink segment at the knees.
It's not part of her dress. She just got tangled in her duvet and was force to cut herself free.
Load More Replies...Nothing wrong with that dress which a little chemotheraphy couldn't cure
The only thing I would change is the papery looking folds being all over the bottom part instead of just part. It’s unique and her hair is terrific!
Her hair is bland and boring, and the dress looks like there's a pillow stuffed under it. What's wrong with a beautiful classic black velvet sheath? Why ruin it with that mess?
Load More Replies...What happened? Did they run out of fabric? Talk about ruining something that could have been beautiful!
The bottom might be unfortunate but at least the rest fits and she looks beautiful in it regardless
Ayo Edebiri
Some congratulated Edebiri for “channeling” Julia Roberts’ iconic 1990 Golden Globes' look by wearing an oversized gray business suit from Loewe.
On the other hard, others felt she didn’t pull off the look with the same effortlessness as the Pretty Woman star did all those years ago.
Love the feather tie. However, wearing the logo in display is so tacky
I stopped being shocked by it decades ago, seeing men in suits with the logo still on the wrist made me weep a little inside for them, but I took to carrying around some small scissors to cut ‘em off for them. They simply don’t in any better.
Load More Replies...i like the suit. it's really just the weird logo that is off putting
It’s the clashing grays for me (shirt vs suiting)
Load More Replies...Gia Coppola
The filmmaker’s Valentino dress was labeled as “ill fitting” by some outlets who believed it to be too simple for the occasion.
Super super cute dress. Really lovely for a different occassion. But you know what, if someone decides to not go all fancy and chique but wants to dress in a casual style, I respect that, play by your own rules.
Spring wedding - great. Easter Brunch - Ok (maybe tea length). Red carpet event? Not so much.
Load More Replies...It looks like something you'd get at a Deb shop in the early 2000s for a prom gown. Sorry but I don't think it works.
Sad sack for sure. It looks like it was a third grade construction paper project. It looks like it’s slowly sliding off of her body, and she really couldn’t care less.
Leonie Benesch
Benesch’s Chanel dress left some viewers disappointed, as they felt the dress took away from the German actress’ figure.
Viewers disappointed they can't see her body? Are they 12 year old boys?
Yes, yes they are. Although many are disguised as middle aged men. Tbf though, many 13 year old girls in disguise also!
Load More Replies...Hair and makeup remind me of Maria / Julie Andrews from Sound of Music in the best possible way 🤩🤩🤩. Stunning!
It looks like she is wearing two dresses or at least an extra skirt.
Andrew Scott
Scott’s choice to wear a unitone cyan three-piece-suit put off viewers who joked that he looked as if had dipped his clothes into a bucket of paint before attending the event.
Love the color, love the limited color choice, but hate the cut and drape of the suit.
Load More Replies...I'd have preferred it with a black tie to go with the belt and shoes...
Ariana Grande
Grande wore a modest, cream-colored skirt coupled with long white gloves. According to some viewers, who likened it to a “sleeping bag” due to its somewhat uniform shape, the outfit did the actress no favors.
I am concerned. She looks anorexic. Her arms are like pencils and her face looks almost hollow.
It’s really sad. I hope there’s someone close to her to be the voice of reason.
Load More Replies...This colour is never flattering on anyone, the beige colour clashes with the white gloves as well. And the material and decor on top? It looks like a weird 1920's night gown or smth
That child has no sense of style or self. She looks like a caricature of a cartoon
Is she trying to be Audrey Hepburn? She looks like death… it’s not working.
I'm more concerned about what she's done to her face. She looks like an anorexic Pixar character.
The dress does nothing to help her already terribly thin frame, I’d go so far to say she looks unwell, I hope she ok
she looks like she escaped tuberculiosis hospital wrapped in one of dirty sheets https://hyperallergic.com/415421/consumptive-chic-a-history-of-beaty-fashion-disease/
Stop dragging this girl now please. If she had worn something slinky, she would have been bodyshamed instead.
If the dress is ugly af she belongs in this list. And it is ugly af. And even worse, boring
Load More Replies...Eddie Redmayne
Redmayne wore a two-piece suit with a striking black-and-white checkerboard pattern that elicited mixed reactions from the audience.
Love the suit, but it makes me kind of dizzy. Dislike the mandarin collar.
Load More Replies...That wall is not doing any favours tbh - the outfit is fine, just odd against a wall of flowers.
Elle Fanning
Fanning’s fans were disappointed by her dress, mainly because they felt the leopard-patterned bodice she wore ruined what would’ve otherwise been a gorgeous light-gold dress.
She looks lovely. I don't love leopard print either, but just LOOK at her. Stunning.
I think it gives the dress some character. The dress would be too standard issue otherwise.
Load More Replies...This is quite beautiful! The leopard print is not too overwhelming.
Since leopard print ruins EVERYTHING it's on (apart from actual leopards 😉), the people aren't wrong. Same goes for zebra, tiger or any other animal print. It's just so chintzy and garish. 🤷♂️
I have leopard print leggings. I know they're tacky AF but that's the fun 😂 don't regret that purchase a bit
Load More Replies...1.75m - so she is tall, just not THAT tall. I'm going out on a limb here, I think the dress, and she, look great. I just don't think that colour really suits her skin tone. Just my opinion.
Load More Replies...Ali Wong
The stand-up comedian wore a red gown with a feathered texture that some viewers considered too distracting, wishing she would’ve worn a more conventional dress of the same color instead.
Again with the black gloves that look out of place. And that dress looks like the cat got to it.
The black gloves and heavy black eyeglasses are too much for the airy texture of the dress.
Glenn Close
The three-time Golden Globe winner wore a long-sleeve, black velvet dress with black gloves and heels.
The outfit featured French words stitched in a manuscript style, with the “scribbles” getting more erratic around the gown’s midsection.
hasn't she earned the right to wear whatever she wants at this stage?
It’s the shoulder pads that are ruining it. Did we learn nothing from the 80’s? 😀
Sorry but what is wrong with this? I wouldn't have chosen it myself but I actually like it
At 77 years of age, with 3 Golden Globes, 2 Tonys, 2 Emmys and a myriad of other awards, this woman has earned the right to wear whatever she wants. Don't like it? Please - post a pic of yourself in your Sartorial Splender" so we can compare.
Heather McMahan
While viewers praised the comedian’s outfit for its light purple color and flowing cape, others were put off by the details around the dress’ waist, with frills they found reminiscent of “loose skin.”
The roushing at the waist is hung too low making her waist look significantly bigger than her hips unfortunately.
The material looks really cheap and nasty and the ruching at her belly is not flattering.
I absolutely agree. Nothing about this dress is doing her any favours.
Load More Replies...I'm more upset about the pose than the dress. C'mon, honey... you're not twelve.
An avenging purple angel demands reconstructive surgery after drastic bariatric weight loss.
Maya Erskine
Some outlets labeled the dress as being “too casual,” but others praised it for perfectly adhering to the night’s floral theme.
Oh dear. What can you say? She looks as though she had a rummage through her grandmother's laundry basket.
She looks like a little girl playing dress up in her grandma’s house dress. All it needs is a terry cloth towel turban on her head.
Nikki Glaser
The stand-up comedian wore a glamorous satin, champagne-colored, strapless dress coupled with a corset and a flowing skirt decorated with a single flower of the same fabric.
While many viewers praised the dress for its intricate design and beautiful color, others couldn’t get past what seemed like nipple-shaped details on the outfit’s top.
Was so scared to scroll to this one! While I love dirty, raunchy comedy, Nikki did the impossible and made me gag once. I was scared there’d be a bleeding vulva or something. This is AMAZING! She has taste after all! (Not insane about the odd cups, but still, this is incredible for Nikki!)
Load More Replies...The dress is beautiful but the top just does not fit - it looks loose and the cut makes her breasts look weird, for lack of a better word.
Keri Russell
The actress—once known for her bright, curly hair—strode the red carpet wearing her hair short and dark, coupled with a wide-shouldered, white coat for a decidedly “androgynous” look.
Not the worst, slightly edgy and elegant. Fabric looks to be quality.
Melissa McCarthy
The actress embraced the event’s floral theme in full force by wearing a hot pink jumpsuit decorated with a dramatic, oversized ruffled cape that some netizens likened to a “cotton candy.”
I can’t believe this is on a “worst” list. When has she EVER looked this good and happy her body? I’m sobbing an little out of sheer happiness for her!
Load More Replies...Keltie Knight
The TV host and podcaster wore a semi-translucent dress with a flannel-like metallic pattern. Fans likened the outfit’s shape to a “lamp.”
It’s a garden trellis and it’s PISSED and trying to choke her to death.
Ari Graynor
The actress wore a confusing black velvet dress with dramatic shoulder pads and a straight skirt.
The outfit’s midsection was divided into strings, allowing her midriff to be seen, and the skirt had an extra piece of fabric attached to it that flowed into the floor.
This overwhelms her. The person wears. the dress, not the other way around! A little more scooped at the neckline maybe.
Lose the extra piece of fabric and this is actually a pretty cool dress.
Lisa Ann Walter
One of the audience's favorite dresses was nevertheless criticized for seemingly evoking mermaid imagery instead of the floral theme of this year's red carpet.
Oh hello boobies! One sneeze and she will need an army to put them back into the dress
Bolt-ons, Botox and a shower scrubbie.I can't imagine she could actually sit down in that thing.
I think her boobs are real. She’s a curvy woman. Spot on with the Botox though… Did you notice Zoe Kravitz also had a wonky eye and frozen forehead?
Load More Replies...Those are some brutalized boobies! Can she do the “I Dream of Jeannie” head flip?
Timothée Chalamet
Chalamet wore a simple and elegant black suit that substituted a tie with a metallic-blue scarf around the neck. Some viewers, however, felt he would’ve looked better with a proper tie instead.
He’s French. He knows better than viewers sitting on the couch munching on popcorn in their sweats.
Miley Cyrus
The singer wore a floor-length, form-fitting black gown with a crisscross pattern across her chest.
She completed the look by confusingly wearing sunglasses at night, with some users accusing her of phoning her outfit in.
If you're going to have hundreds of camera flashes in your direction, I have no problem with sunglasses.
She ALWAYS looks like she needs to be thrown into the shower and scrubbed down with stiff bristle brushes.
It's more revealing than I would wear, but it looks good on her. It also fits the floral theme
Come on - she looks gorgeous! Not a MC fan but this "nomination" is ridiculous
Some people are just boring. "This dress would be better without the main focal point."
"This dress would be better if it were a different dress", essentially
Load More Replies...Wow, a whole article trying to tear down people at an event no one here in the comments will /Would have ever been invited to.. Smells of Negative attention. Can we leave tearing down people for amusement/like or clicks back in 2024.. Lets try and elevate this year.. Rise up people..
I think they mostly look beautiful! Especially the blokes - Eddie remain and that Irish guy in pastel blue look super cool, and miley and Melissa can do no wrong, both cool as f women.
One thing I think about before posting these types of things is how I would feel reading something like this if I was a celebrity
These types of articles are so fvcking stupid. I wonder what the "author" Abel Musa Miño looks like for his red carpet awards? Oh, he probably doesn't get invited to awards shows. It's needless criticism from people who don't realize these types of looks are exactly what draws people to watch these shows. How drab would the world be if we all had to dress like Abel Musa Miño in his dreary clothes?
