Before the movie came, the fashion came, as the big and wealthy of the Hollywood acting scene attended the 81st annual Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
While the dust was still settling on Christmas, the first major awards ceremony of the year took place in downtown Beverly Hills – with a red carpet filled with more than its fair share of British stars.
Rosamund Pike led the way on an evening that was widely expected to shower Emerald Fennel's gritty masterpiece Saltburn with more than its fair share of accolades, ensuring she turned heads as she performed outside the historic space alongside fellow Brits Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Kate Beckinsale and Dame Helen Mirren.
The 44-year-old actress arrived wearing an elaborate fascinator, which she revealed was a “protective veil” after her face was “completely smashed” in a skiing accident over the holidays.
When asked if it was “a hat or a helmet” on the red carpet, Best Supporting Actress nominee Rosamund told Variety: “It's a protective veil for the occasion.” I had one over Christmas Ski accident, that's not what you want when you go to the Golden Globes on January 7th.
“On December 26th my face was completely destroyed and I thought I have to do something. 'It's healed.'
Kate Beckinsale showed off her long legs in a sheer, sparkling silver dress with a dramatic train and ruffles
While Rosamund looked effortlessly glamorous, an angry bruise was visible on her cheek beneath the fishnet lace headdress.
The Hammersmith-born actress paired the statement fascinator with her lace Christian Dior dress, which featured sheer sleeves and a petticoat skirt. It was first seen on the runway during Fashion Week 2019.
Florence, 28, hit the red carpet in a custom red Valentino chiffon dress. The actress opted for a braless dress with a plunging neckline embroidered with 3D flowers. She paired the look with gold platform heels.
Emily, 40, who is nominated for best supporting actress for her role as Katherine in Oppenheimer, stunned in her bejeweled gown as she graced the red carpet.
She was supported by husband John Krasinski, 44, who cut a suave figure in a red satin tuxedo. The lovebirds beamed as they walked the star-studded red carpet before taking their seats for the ceremony.
Gillian, 55, looked sensational in a beautiful cream dress with a strapless neckline and dramatic princess skirt.
Gillian's gorgeous dress featured a fitted bodice, a light floral print and an unusual frayed hem.
The Crown star completed her look with a sparkling diamond necklace and matching earring, while she carried her evening essentials in a metallic handbag.

The ceremony will debut two new categories: “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement” and “Best Achievement in Television Stand-Up Comedy.”
Taylor Swift's film documenting her Eras tour has received a nomination in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category.
The 81st Golden Globe Awards will be the first major broadcast of the awards season, with a new home on CBS and will be hosted by 52-year-old comedian Jo Koy.
And while things may appear similar on the surface to the public, things were turbulent behind the scenes for several years after a sensational report was published in the Los Angeles Times.
The 2021 report found that there were no Black members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which votes on the awards.
Stars and studios boycotted the Globes and NBC subsequently refused to broadcast it in 2022.
After the group added journalists of color to its ranks and instituted further reforms to address ethical concerns, the show returned in January 2023 as part of a one-year probation agreement with NBC. The network has not opted for an extension.
In June, billionaire Todd Boehly received approval to dissolve the HFPA and reinvent the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization.
Its assets were acquired by Boehly's Eldridge Industries along with Dick Clark Productions, a group owned by Penske Media whose assets also include Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and Billboard.
In mid-November, CBS announced that the network would air the ceremony on January 7th. It is also streaming on Paramount+.
The group that nominates and votes for the awards is now a more diverse group of over 300 people from around the world.
