After a year in which film and fashion were saturated in “Barbie” pink — with a much-beloved pop of “The Color Purple” — the first major ceremony of awards season ushered in a new power color. Red dominated the 81st Annual Golden Globes red carpet, confirming fashion forecasts and reminding us that from the box office to the Oval Office, 2024 is a year for power dressing. Among the Hollywood elites who showed up and showed out at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday night, red, white and black were the prominent colors of choice, with silver making a solid showing as runner-up. As always, Black Hollywood’s leading ladies made some of the strongest style statements of the evening, with several wearing red in shades from blazing scarlet to smoldering garnet.
Self-declared “fashion girl” Da’Vine Joy Randolph was a winner before she even stepped onstage to accept the award for Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture-Drama (for her role in “The Holdovers”). For the first of what will undoubtedly be a series of red-carpet appearances this year, Randolph chose a strapless custom gown by Rodarte with a peplum and sequined décolleté, constructed in a subtle yet powerful deep crimson that echoed her poignant performance. As she teased to People magazine, the best may be yet to come.
“I love the details,” Randolph explained. “For every red carpet I’m doing mood boards, I’m pulling hair references, nails references, makeup references, different swatches for a wardrobe.”
Ayo Edebiri may have been surprised to eclipse the competition to win Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series, but she certainly dressed the part. Wearing a strapless custom cocktail dress with a sweeping tulle and taffeta train by Prada, Edebiri was every bit a winner.
