Golden Globes 2025: Zendaya, Nicole Kidman, and Angelina Jolie Dominate the Red Carpet Fashion Game

Hollywood’s biggest stars graced the 82nd Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, bringing their A-game to the iconic red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The evening was a dazzling showcase of style, elegance, and star power.

Zendaya’s Fiery Elegance

At 28, Zendaya set the tone for the night in a breathtaking burnt-orange off-shoulder gown adorned with diamonds. The gown, featuring a sweetheart neckline and a flowing train, exuded classic Hollywood glamour. Zendaya complemented her look with diamond jewelry and matching orange heels, finishing with a sleek vintage-inspired hairstyle reminiscent of Veronica Lake and Rita Hayworth.

Nicole Kidman’s Radiant Simplicity

Nicole Kidman, 57, stunned in a shimmering white backless gown, showcasing her toned physique. With her signature blonde hair styled in a half-up, half-down look, Nicole radiated sophistication. Her appearance marked a memorable moment as she seemingly reconciled with Salma Hayek, following their rumored tension on a Balenciaga red carpet months prior.

Angelina Jolie’s Goddess Moment

Angelina Jolie, 49, brought a touch of ethereal beauty in a silver and gray fringe gown that highlighted her slender waist. Posing alongside her 19-year-old daughter, Zahara, Angelina cemented her place as one of the night’s most captivating figures.
