Our Favorite Wedding Wardrobe Inspo from the Golden Globes Red Carpet
Here at The Knot, we measure time in seasons: engagement season, wedding planning season, wedding season, and awards season. Why the latter, you ask? Award shows are an amazing place to find inspiration for your wedding wardrobe. Each winter, Hollywood's biggest stars descend upon red carpets in dazzling ensembles, many of which can help you craft your own bridal trousseau. It goes without saying that Golden Globes fashion is one of our favorite places to look for wedding outfit ideas, for obvious reasons. Often the very first ceremony to kick off awards season, the Golden Globes celebrate excellence in American and international film and television...and celebrities never fail to go. all. out.
Unsurprisingly, the 2024 Golden Globes dresses didn't disappoint—and we rounded up the best wedding-worthy gowns, right here. Keep scrolling to find wow-worthy red carpet inspiration for your wedding vision board, and screenshot your favorite Golden Globes outfits to have on hand next time you go dress shopping or bach party browsing.
Elle Fanning in Balmain
Bows were one of the biggest wedding dress trends our editors saw during Bridal Fashion Week last fall, and Elle Fanning is proving why this buzzy accessory needs to be on your radar. We love her archival ball gown, which features a massive bow tied across the bust. With a satin skirt, this strapless Golden Globes dress is what bridal dreams are made of.
Camila Morrone in Givenchy
We'll never forget when Camila Morrone wore an *actual* Carolina Herrera wedding dress to the Oscar Awards in 2020, and the Daisy Jones and the Six star continues to give us major bridal inspiration to this day. Her 2024 Golden Globes dress was an elegant ivory strapless column gown, which she paired with a sweeping ivory shawl draped around her arms. Can't you just picture yourself walking down the aisle in a look like this?
Jennifer Lopez in Nicole + Felicia
JLo looked like a blushing bride on the Golden Globes red carpet—perhaps because she was wearing a gown from a bridal label! The singer opted for a strapless pink dress with a voluminous floral cape by Nicole + Felicia, a sister design duo. The dress, which stemmed from a look in their latest collection, Le Jardin de Nicole + Felicia, was created in a custom pink mikado shade that reflects the entertainer's career path in 2024. "The fresh color palette and dramatic blossoming sleeves reflect her renewed presence in the music industry with her upcoming album release," the designers tell The Knot. "It's extremely rewarding to see our atelier's designs on global stages, especially on icons that we've admired for decades."
If you're taking notes for your own wedding wardrobe, we have great news: JLo's 2024 Golden Globes dress is available to try on exclusively at Kleinfeld Bridal! And, according to the sisters, there's no better way to start your dress-shopping journey than by trying on a style straight off the red carpet. "A wedding is the perfect event to express your fashion fantasies," they add. "What better way to bring the glamour and drama of the red carpet to the aisle?"
Riley Keough in Chanel
Morrone's Daisy Jones co-star Riley Keough, who starred as the titular songstress in the Amazon Studios adaptation of the book of the same name, rocked a memorable white floral-print Chanel dress at the Golden Globes, complete with sheer straps and dazzling gold detailing framing the neckline.
Jonathan Bailey in Givenchy
He's the talk of the ton, that's for sure. Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey rocked a monochrome white suit at the 2024 Golden Globes, and we couldn't be more obsessed. We love the idea of wearing a similar look at an outdoor summer ceremony, or at a swanky art museum or rooftop wedding venue.
America Ferrera in Dolce & Gabbana
The pearlcore trend is still going strong, and America Ferrera is showing us why. The Barbie actress opted for an elegant, shimmering off-white column dress for the Golden Globes. Our favorite element, though, was the clusters of pearl embellishments adorning the gown. If you can't get enough iridescent gems in your wedding wardrobe, a dress like this would be simply perfect for your rehearsal dinner or the after-party.
Hunter Schafer in Prada
Imagine yourself walking down the aisle in a gown like Hunter Schafer's 2024 Golden Globes dress. Iconic, right? The Euphoria star, who most recently appeared in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, looked resplendent in a fitted Prada sheath dress with gauzy fabric trailing behind.
Quinta Brunson in Balmain
Wedding reception dresses should be flirty and fun, just like Quinta Brunson's Golden Globes dress. The Abbot Elementary star glittered in a sparkly Balmain frock with a halter neckline and sheet cutouts framing the bodice. She's teaching us how to serve, and class is in session.
Margot Robbie in Armani
2023 was the year Barbiecore took over the wedding industry, and this vibrant trend isn't going away any time soon. Margot Robbie, who stole the screen as the titular character in Barbie, arrived on the carpet wearing an incredibly apropos hot pink V-neck dress covered in sequins, paired with an equally fabulous pink netting shawl. We love the concept of rocking a hot pink look on one night during your bach party—ask your crew to don all-white ensembles so your rosy look pops!
Julia Schlaepfer in Danielle Frankel
If you looked at Julia Schlaepfer's Golden Globes dress and thought of Meghan Markle's reception look, you aren't alone. (We did too!) The 1923 actress captivated the carpet in a backless satin gown by Danielle Frankel, one of our favorite celebrity wedding dress designers of the moment. She opted for the label's Sasha dress, which features a cowl high-neck and asymmetrical buttons. Take a photo of this look to your wedding dress shopping appointment if your goal is to look elegant, timeless and oh-so-sophisticated on your big day.
Sarah Rafferty in Lanvin
We love a little something blue on the red carpet, and Sarah Rafferty certainly delivered. The Suits actress stunned in a halter-neck gown—which seemed to be a major trend at the Golden Globes this year. Complete with a high-low skirt and a ruffled hemline, we recommend recreating a pretty look like this at your bridal shower, or during your engagement photo shoot.
Rosamund Pike in Vintage Dior Couture
Okay, hear us out. Rosamund Pike's black lace Golden Globes dress isn't exactly what comes to mind when you think of bridal attire. But while the Saltburn star was talking to Variety and Entertainment Tonight's pre-show red carpet hosts, they asked about her "somber" attire when she said, "Well, yes, or it could be a black wedding dress." That's all we needed to hear. If you're all about breaking tradition, perhaps a black gown and matching birdcage veil like this is the perfect inspiration for your big day.
Troian Bellisario in Oscar de la Renta
Hi, rehearsal dinner inspo. Former Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario looked like a vision in a shimmering geometric fit-and-flare gown on the Golden Globes red carpet. She arrived alongside her husband, Suits star Patrick J. Adams, and together these two look like they could have a spot on your wedding Pinterest board.
Ali Wong in Dior Haute Couture
Comedian Ali Wong was all smiles while walking the Golden Globes red carpet in her gorgeous white 'fit. She donned a strapless gown with one braided off-the-shoulder strap, which is a look we'd love to see you recreate at your engagement party.
