Is it just us, or did time really fly between last year’s Golden Globes and this year’s? We’re still not over the debut of Emma Stone’s pixie cut, which has since grown out into a gorgeous bob. But as much as we’re still extracting inspo from last January’s ceremony, we’ve been so ready for all of the best looks of this year’s Golden Globes—the more-or-less official kick-off of the 2026 award show season.
With nominees like Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Cynthia Erivo, Kate Hudson, Amanda Seyfried, Ariana Grande, Elle Fanning, Teyana Taylor, Emily Blunt, Ayo Edebiri, Selena Gomez, Jenna Ortega, and—yes—Emma Stone, it was inevitable that the beauty looks would be both abundant and unforgettable, much like the movie and TV performances that earned them their accolades.
Here are our favorite 2026 Golden Globes hair, makeup, and nail looks that will be inspiring the way we get ready all year long.

Nominee and newlywed Selena Gomez looked like a vintage vision at the Golden Globes, with no detail left unperfected. Hairstylist Renato Campora used Joico Dream Blowout Glass and JoiWhip Firm Hold Designing Foam to ensure her deeply side-parted bob was styled in precisely sculpted waves that framed a makeup look that’s bound to be copied by anyone who loves a deep lip. The satiny burgundy color takes center stage, supported by the softest of winged liner and generously highlighted cheekbones. The look was made modern by a simple black manicure—nail artist Tom Bachik used Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour in Le Diable en Chanel—the perfect accessory to her feathery black and cream off-the-shoulder dress.
