“Why change something that already works?” is a fair question that applies to personal style. Many celebrities put their faith in trusted silhouettes and colors, but what is a red carpet without a touch (or a lot) of risk? At the 83rd Golden Globes, some of the best-dressed women were those subverting expectations. Apparently, evolution is what turns a good look into a golden one.

Jennifer Lawrence

This wasn’t Jennifer Lawrence’s first rodeo at the Golden Globes, but it was certainly her most memorable appearance yet. The actress stepped into a new era wearing a sheer Givenchy by Sarah Burton gown adorned with delicate floral appliqués and tastefully paired with a pillow-like satin shawl.
Tessa Thompson

An A-lister like Tessa Thompson doesn’t have to be loud to be noticed, and she knows it. Clad in a shimmering Balenciaga creation, the star was positively glamorous.
Renate Reinsve

More than 800,000 beads were used for Renate Reinsve’s silver Louis Vuitton ensemble. That fact was jaw-dropping alone, yet the execution was even better because the garment maintained such fluid movement.
Teyana Taylor

Oh, to be Teyana Taylor in custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture. While the front was stunning with its daring cut-outs, the back featured a diamond-encrusted “whale tail” detail that truly stole the show.
Emily Blunt

She was the definition of elegant and interesting. Emily Blunt’s white Louis Vuitton frock proved that a hint of asymmetry can go a long way.
Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson’s physique turned heads on the red carpet as she donned a gunmetal Armani Privé gown featuring shredded fringe and Swarovski rhinestones.
Chase Infiniti

First-time nominee Chase Infiniti took the spotlight in a sculptural Louis Vuitton bustier that flared at her hips—an aesthetic that was both unique and eye-catching.
Selena Gomez

If Old Hollywood had been a person that evening, it would have been Selena Gomez in her half-feathered Chanel number.
Mia Goth

As a brand ambassador for Dior, Mia Goth naturally arrived donning the label. Although she opted for an all-black palette, the halter neckline and matching shawl worked in perfect harmony.
Brittany Snow

Brittany Snow’s Danielle Frankel gown could easily be classified as bridal, but the playful layering of the skirt gave her that certain je ne sais quoi.
Jenna Ortega

In a Dilara Findikoglu two-piece, Jenna Ortega’s gothic sensibilities really shined. Apart from the side cut-outs, the tassels gave the Wednesday actress her signature rebelliousness.
Elle Fanning

In a textured Gucci piece, Elle Fanning was once again the fresh-faced princess we know and love.
Amanda Seyfried

It took 400 hours to create Amanda Seyfried’s Versace sweetheart ensemble. While the silhouette was classy and timeless, the diagonal draping added a touch of quirkiness—a detail noted by her longtime stylist, Elizabeth Stewart.
Lisa

Hear us out: Lisa’s Jacquemus number was a sheer dress in a sophisticated form. It was a departure from the K-pop star turned White Lotus actress’s fiercer looks of the past, but the cut and flow of the fabric perfectly suited her statuesque frame.
Kylie Jenner

If there’s one thing Kylie Jenner excels at, it’s choosing designs that complement her silhouette. Arriving as Timothée Chalamet’s guest, the entrepreneur wore a form-fitting Ashi Studio gown that deserved every bit of praise it received.
