The 2025 Golden Globes Beauty Looks Start The Year On A Glamorous Note

As the official kick-off of awards season, there’s no shortage of glamour on the 82nd Golden Globe Awards red carpet. As one of the few high profile events that celebrate both film and television, the night always brings out Hollywood’s top talent. So naturally, for the first red carpet of the year, the stars have come dressed to win – with equally noteworthy hair and makeup to match. Yes, the 2025 Golden Globes best beauty looks are a forecast of the exciting trends to take off in the new year.

Many of the night’s standout looks pay homage to popular beauty trends from past decades. Nicole Kidman’s bouffant high ponytail is a nod to ‘60s and ‘70s updos, while Zendaya channeled Old Hollywood with her pin curl bob. On the makeup front, there were a number of modern takes on retro cat-eyes, including Ariana Grande’s Audrey Hepburn-inspired look and Miley Cyrus’ smudgy grunge version.

Ahead, TZR’s hand-picked highlight reel of most memorable hair, makeup, and nail moments from the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet.

Selena Gomez

The Emilia Pérez star and Rare Beauty founder looked like an Old Hollywood icon with her Marilyn Monroe-inspired curls created by stylist Renato Campora using Joico products and GHD styling tools. Her makeup artist Hung Vanngo followed suit with her soft smoky eye, neutral lip, and flawless skin, thanks to prep with SK-II products.

Mikey Madison

First-time nominee Madison’s radiant skin stole the show on the red carpet. Ahead of crafting her minimalist Armani Beauty makeup look, makeup artist Melissa Hernandez prepped her complexion with CurrentBody’s LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2 and a slew of G.M COLLIN products, including the Bota-Peptides Eye Contour and Instant Radiance Eye Patches, a combo for instantly bright under eyes. One of the many celebrities who opted for a side part, hairstylist Rena Calhoun gave the Anora star a glamorous blowout of brushed-out waves with Olivia Garden tools.

Ariana Grande

Wearing a vintage Givenchy gown from the ‘60s, the Wicked star and r.e.m. beauty founder fully channeled Audrey Hepburn with her Golden Globes look, down to her hair and makeup. She accessorized her high ponytail with choppy Hepburn-coded bangs and went with a demure take on her favorite cat-eye liner. Grande’s makeup artist Michael Anthony exclusively used makeup from the singer-actor’s brand to create the look.

Emma Stone

There’s no better way to debut a new haircut than a red carpet reveal, and that’s exactly what Stone did at the Golden Globes. The Poor Things star had the internet buzzing with her pixie cut, complete with a fresh copper hue created by colorist Tracey Cunningham using Schwarzkopf Professional. Her longtime stylist Mara Roszak styled Stone’s new length using products from her RŌZ brand and L’Oréal Professionnel’s AirLight Pro.

Viola Davis

Davis is a standout on every red carpet, and the 2025 Golden Globes is no exception. Her free-flowing natural curls and rich wine lip is deserves a spot on your winter beauty mood board.

Naomi Watts

Watts brought the flippy bob, 2024’s hottest hairstyle, into the new year. Ahead of blowing out her hair, stylist Robert Vetica massaged the actor’s scalp and strands with the Laduora DUO 4-in-1 Pod Based Scalp & Hair Care Device. Makeup artist Mary Wiles prepped her skin from head to toe with Tronque body care and Stripes skin care, then defined her eyes with liner and swiped on red lipstick, both from Le Rouge Français.

Margaret Qualley

A pop of shimmer on Qualley’s eyes was the perfect touch to the “hyper real’ complexion Tyron Machhausen gave her using a handful of Chanel skin care and the brand’s N°1 de CHANEL Massage Accessory, a handy sculpting tool. Her delicate silver headband also lended an ethereal touch to her high ponytail, which was freshly colored by Tracey Cunningham with Schwarzkopf Professional.

Angelia Jolie

Sometimes the most understated beauty looks can make the biggest statement. Jolie’s sophisticated half-up, half-down hairstyle, subtly-lined eyes, and your-lips-but-better lipstick is a prime example. The exact shade? Makeup artist Raoul Alejandre combined Tom Ford Beauty’s Runway Lip Color in 01 Spanish Pink and Soleil Neige Gloss Luxe in 16 Celestial.

Zendaya

Zendaya oozed Old Hollywood glamour with her new pin curl bob which she showed off for the first time on the Golden Globes red carpet. Her hairstylist Coree Moreno added some BELLAMI chestnut brown extensions to the actors’ natural hair when creating the vintage style, and set the look with GHD hot tools and NEXXUS styling products.

Karla Sofía Gascón

Healthy, glowing skin is always a win, so Gascón’s makeup artist Vincent Oquendo prepped the Emilia Peréz star’s skin with a full routine of Beau Domaine products (including cleanser, serum, and moisturizer) and enhanced her radiant complexion with Rare Beauty makeup before she hit the red carpet. The actor’s hairstylist Marc Mena channeled Old Hollywood icons by adding loose waves to her hair, adding Great Lengths extensions for extra body.

Nicole Kidman

Kidman’s sky-high bouffant ponytail is a little baby girl and a little Studio 54. Celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel was inspired by the ‘60s and ‘70s when conceptualizing the actor’s Golden Globes hairstyle. For extra volume and body, he added BELLAMI hair extensions to Kidman’s natural hair, and created the pony with Virtue Labs styling products, Kristin Ess hot tools and Denman brushes.

Demi Moore

Moore’s signature effortless glam was out in full force on the Golden Globes red carpet. Moroccanoil Global Celebrity Stylist Ambassador Dimitris Giannetos added loose undone waves to her cascading espresso brunette hair and set it with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong for long-lasting hold and extra shine. Makeup artist Rokael Lizama tied in the color palette of her gilded Armani Haute Couture gown by sweeping shades from Dior Beauty’s Diorshow 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palettes in Poncho and Grand Bal on her lids.

Cynthia Erivo

No award-worthy makeup look is possible without hydrated skin, so Erivo’s makeup artist Joanna Simkin prepped the Golden Globe nominee’s complexion with a full lineup of Summer Fridays products before going in with Benefit’s color cosmetics. The Wicked star also continued her streak of bold red carpet manicures.

Kristen Bell

To keep the focus on the peplum silhouette of Bell’s champagne Ashi Couture gown, hairstylist Jenny Cho pulled her hair back into a sleek center-parted bun, using Hair Rituel by Sisley Paris styling products and brushes and Bio Ionic hot tools. Makeup artist Quinn Murphy also kept her makeup clean and simple, using Chanel’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream in Soleil Tan Medium Bronze and Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick in Scintillement to achieve her healthy glow.

Miley Cyrus

Cyrus’ delightfully edgy undone topknot is so rock n roll – just like her. The singer’s hairstylist Bob Recine finished off the style with a healthy spritz of Nexxus XXL Volume Medium-Hold Hairspray to ensure it held up late into the night. She fully leaned into her signature rebellious style with her makeup, too, via a smoky cat eye.

Zoë Saldaña

Saldaña’s soft mauve monochromatic makeup and slick updo by hairstylist Mara Roszak (using the new RŌZ Evergreen Style Cream and L’Oréal Professionnel AirLight Pro) is a classic red carpet beauty combo. To kick off her glam session, makeup artist Vera Steimberg prepped the Golden Globe nominee’s skin with Currentbody’s LED Light Therapy Mask: Series 2 for a radiant complexion.

Quinta Brunson

While the ‘90s and early aughts are driving a number of current beauty trends, Brunson’s finger-curled pixie might just inspire a resurgence of 1920s flapper looks. The Abbott Elementary star used her rich chocolate brown gown for makeup inspiration, opting for a complete monochromatic look. To achieve it, her makeup artist Kasha Lassien used various shades from Chanel’s Les Beiges Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette in Tender.

Elle Fanning

The A Complete Unknown Star turned to the film’s 1960s setting for her Golden Globes hair and makeup. Fanning added a retro twist to her low bun with a swoopy faux side bang and went with a sharp cat-eye, rosy cheeks, and soft petal pink lipstick. Her makeup artist Erin Ayanian Monroe used the combo of L’Oréal Paris’ Infallible Fresh Wear Blush in Daring Rosewood and Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Stick for the radiant flush.

Kerry Washington

Along with her Balenciaga hot pink gown and black opera gloves, Washington brought drama to the red carpet with her hair and makeup. Armed with Beauty Pie products, makeup artist Carola Gonzalez gave the actor a bold black smoky eye and rosy flushed cheeks, while hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew utilized Pattern Beauty products extensions to style her hair in a sleek super-long loose ponytail.

Anna Sawai

The Golden Globe nominee is one of many celebrities who brought ‘90s prom-inspired updos to the red carpet. Makeup artist Yukari Obayashi Bush complimented her hairstyle with soft, romantic makeup, using Dior Beauty Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick and Forever Skin Correct Concealer to perfect her complexion.

Ali Wong

Makeup artist Daniel Martin kept the focus on Wong’s flawless radiant skin by creating a soft minimalist makeup look with the help of Tatcha skin care. The actor’s sleek blowout also played into the quiet luxury vibe of her beauty look.

Mindy Kaling

The actor glimmered on the red carpet — quite literally. She coordinated her gold eyeshadow to her dazzling strapless gown. She kept her hair simple with a sleek blowout and deep side part.

Ashley Graham

As an early arrival, Graham set a glamorous tone for the night with her ‘90s inspired updo by hairstylist Justine Marjan with the help of BELLAMI extensions and subtle cat-flick eyeliner by makeup artist Ivan Núñez using Revlon’s ColorStay Liquid Eyeliner and ColorStay Full Time Mascara.
