The Best Dressed: Fashion Victories

Olandria Carthen in Christian Siriano: Making her debut a victory lap, Olandria wore a jewel-tone emerald green corset gown. The “snatched” waist and dramatic mermaid flare immediately became the night’s most talked-about silhouette.

Ariana Grande in Voluminous Black: Breaking from her “Glinda” pink era, Grande went for dark, high-drama in a black voluminous ball gown.³

Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Navy: Wearing a deep navy strapless gown, Priyanka anchored the look with a massive Bulgari diamond and sapphire necklace.⁴
Wunmi Mosaku in Matthew Reisman: The Sinners star stunned in a custom sunshine yellow gown, embracing her baby bump under the Yoruba proverb Iya ni Wúrà (“Mother is Golden”).⁵
Claire Danes in Zac Posen for GapStudio:⁶ Danes eschewed traditional couture for an effortlessly elegant off-white silk jersey gown modeled after the iconic Gap pocket T-shirt.⁷

The “Worst” Dressed: Bold Risks That Missed

While fashion is subjective, these looks sparked heated debate for their confusing silhouettes or clashing concepts:

Audrey Nuna in Thom Browne: While praised by some for its “spooky-regal” vibe, the bulbous black-and-white creation and witchy platform-Oxfords were a divisive choice for the evening.
Jenna Ortega in Dilara Findikoglu: Her transition into “Gothic Glamour” featured black shoulder tassels and cutouts that some critics felt bordered on “costumey” rather than high fashion.⁸

Hailee Steinfeld in Peach: Though she looked radiant showing off her baby bump, some analysts felt her peach-colored gown was overshadowed by the more impactful jewel tones on the carpet.

The “Lucky” Designer: Armani

A 2026 data analysis revealed that Armani remains the “luckiest” designer at the Globes, having dressed more winners (including past icons like Michelle Yeoh and Demi Moore) than any other brand.⁹
