e may be less than a week into the new year, but the 2025 awards season has officially kicked off with the 82nd annual Golden Globes, held on Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. After a year of immense showcases for Black talent — including “Wicked,” “Sing Sing,” “Nickel Boys,” and more, some exciting nominations abound, but as all awards season lovers know, the festivities really kick off on the red carpet.
With nominees, honorees, and presenters like Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Zoe Saldaña and more, this year’s Golden Globes fashion was expected to be as dynamic as the performances, laying the groundwork — or red carpet — for a truly memorable evening (with a healthy dose of cocoa-liciousness in the fashion). Who wore their Golden Globes best? Check out some of Black Hollywood’s favorites below and award your Best Performance.
