These Golden Globes Beauty Looks Just Set the Standard for Award Season

Each January, the Golden Globes kicks off awards season. (If you’re unfamiliar or you could use a reminder, I got you. This year’s order of awards shows is as follows: Golden Globes, Critic’s Choice, Emmys, Grammys, SAG, and finally, the Academy Awards). 2024 Golden Globes nominees include the likes of Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, and Jennifer Lawrence. You know what that means, right? Yep, killer beauty looks. 

Since this is the first red carpet event of the new year, it sets the standard for all others that follow. It also sets the standard for beauty trends. Well, actually, it dictates beauty trends. Trust me. All you have to do is watch this one award show to get a pretty good idea of what hair and makeup looks will be *it* for 2024. So, without further ado, keep scrolling to see the 25 best beauty looks from this year’s Golden Globes red carpet.

We think all Swifties will agree that Taylor does winged eyeliner better than anyone. The old adage is true even when it comes to the Golden Globes red carpet—if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. 

Selena Gomez glowed on the Golden Globes red carpet with shimmering eyes and matte lips.

Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, complemented her hot-pink gown with fresh-faced makeup.

We’re putting Dua Lipa’s “cherry cola” hair colour on our 2024 vision boards. 

Issa Rae looked like a goddess with her golden eye shadow and glowing complexion. 

If we could give out an award for best hair, it would go to Rachel Brosnahan and her long, red ribbon. We love it when a celeb incorporates hair accessories into their red-carpet look.

After seeing J.Law walk the Golden Globes red carpet, we want hair extensions. 

But then, America Ferrera’s sleek bob is making the case for a shorter cut. 

Florence Pugh is the queen of edgy red carpet hairstyles. 

Take it from Hailee Steinfeld. A subtle, monochromatic look never fails. 

Elizabeth Olsen’s pink and red makeup combo was unexpected and eye-catching. 

Hunter Schafer’s makeup reminds us of springtime with flushed cheeks and petal-pink lips. 

Bold, plum-coloured eye shadow has never looked so good.

Emma Stone just cosigned the flipped-ends trend for 2024, and we’re here for it. 

When we saw Cailee Spaeny, all we could think about was the TikTok-viral coquette aesthetic. 

Quinta Brunson’s glow is unreal—not to mention her full, fluttery lashes.  

Carey Mulligan is proof that the skin-first trend will continue on into 2024. Her complexion was fresh and dewy and now we feel like we need to reach for a sheet mask…

Elle Fanning is another celeb who opted for classic glamour, combining a swipe of black liquid eyeliner along her upper lash line with a neutral-pink lip colour. It’s a winning combination.

Emily Blunt’s bronzed makeup look made us feel like summer isn’t too far away. 

Ariana Greenblatt’s sultry look came together with charcoal-lined eyes and tousled hair.

Allison Williams also got the sultry-makeup memo. Her smokey eye and nude lip combo was a modern take on a foolproof 90s formula. 

Ayo Edebiri’s short and shiny bob feels so fresh and youthful. 

Julia Garner’s striking silver inner-eye highlight is so good. It’s a simple yet effective element. 

We loved Gillian Anderson’s voluminous, blown-back hairstyle.

This is your sign to wear a 1960s-inspired ponytail to your next event. It feels fresh, yet polished, especially when you add a small black bow to it, like Kate Beckinsale.
