Rosamund Pike turned heads last night at the 81st edition of the Golden Globes, which took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The 44-year-old London actress was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the Film category for her role as the aristocratic Elsbeth Catton in Saltburn and her style didn't disappoint: She arrived wearing a stately Christian Dior haute couture top-of-the-line model paired with a eye-catching matching headdress by designer Philip Treacy, a favorite of the British upper classes, who usually select his creations for the annual Ascot racing event. With this look, Pike starred in one of the night's memes, which took place when Entertainment Tonight co-host Nischelle Turner, who was conducting interviews on the red carpet, offered him a candle inspired by a scene from Saltburn to smell .

“But he's my son, that seems a little creepy to me, it's strange… I won't smell it,” Pike responded to Turner's offer. The host assured her that “it smelled good,” but that didn't persuade the actress to sniff it. She wasn't even curious about what the candle smelled like, although she didn't hesitate to pose with it in her hand with an ironic look.
Shortly before, Turner and Pike had discussed the themes of Fennell's upper-class satire. “It's a film about obsession, it's something complicated, it makes you do childish, romantic, amazing, unpleasant things…” summarized Pike, who in the film plays the mother of Felix, the rich young man, played by Jacob. Elordi. Turner immediately referenced him: “We're obsessed with the bath scene, and now there's a candle…”. The presenter was referring to the scene in which Oliver (the friend from a humble class who studies with Felix at Oxford, played by Barry Keoghan) sucks on the drain of the bathtub in which Felix has washed (and masturbated).
