Cancel your plans and cozy up on the couch — awards season officially kicks off on January 7 with the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards. That’s right, it’s cinephiles and fashion lovers’ favourite time of the year once again, and we can’t wait to see how this year’s stacked awards season plays out (along with who the best-dressed stars are, of course).
From Audrey Hepburn to Angelina Jolie, Hollywood’s ladies have created flashbulb frenzies in their dazzling gowns since the first Globes in 1944. This Sunday, we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for celebs like Margot Robbie (Barbie), Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) and Jennifer Lawrence (No Hard Feelings), who all had major style — and movie star — moments in 2023.
