Golden Globes 2025: Red Carpet Royalty and Trends Inspiring Bridal Fashion

28 Jan

The stars aligned once again at the 2025 Golden Globes, just a few weeks ago, delivering a parade of jaw-dropping looks that redefined modern red carpet glamour. This year, Hollywood’s brightest proved they aren’t just here to dazzle—they’re here to inspire. Alongside trends like draped shawls, statement jewellery, and Marilyn Monroe-inspired Old Hollywood waves, we saw style moments that could easily influence your next bridal obsession. From striking silhouettes to shimmering metallics, let’s recap how Tinsel Town stole the show—and why these trends are set to make waves this year.

Sculptural Silhouettes

The column silhouette truly stole the show this year with its remarkable ability to elongate and sculpt the figure, offering a sleek, refined effect on any body type. Celebrities like Anna Sawai and Zoe Kravitz embraced minimalism, demonstrating that sometimes, less truly is more. Whether you opt for a smooth, fluid fabric or subtle embellishments, this silhouette exudes sophistication. Pair it with a bold accessory such as a statement necklace, shawl or neckscarf to elevate its’ modern appeal. A perfect choice for brides seeking to elongate their frame—ideal for shorter brides who want to add height and grace to their walk down the aisle.

Bold and Backless

Nicole Kidman and Miley Cyrus showcased how backless gowns merge sophistication with bold visual impact. A backless design is the ultimate showstopper, drawing attention to the spine with its stunning, elongated lines, creating an alluring yet graceful silhouette. For brides, the backless gown offers the perfect blend of freedom and elegance, allowing you to move with ease while making an unforgettable statement. It’s a moment that will leave everyone in awe, resonating long after the celebration.

Sweetheart Neckline: A Romantic Revival

This year, the sweetheart neckline made a captivating return, channeling the charm of classic silhouettes while framing the décolletage and creating a soft, feminine shape. Celebrities like Zoe Kravitz, Zendaya, Zoe Saldana, and Naomi Watts—just to name a few—proved its enduring appeal. Long associated with fairytales and romance, the sweetheart neckline is the ultimate bridal choice for a figure-flattering, romantic look. Whether paired with lace, satin, or airy chiffon, this silhouette exudes grace and enchantment, creating a look that feels effortlessly sweet and full of heart.

Golden Hour

Gold was the colour of the night, with celebs like Elle Fanning and Cate Blanchett sparkling in metallic gowns. Gold is the new ivory, adding a sense of luxury and richness to your bridal look. Think champagne-hued fabrics or golden embroidery that catches the light. Gold accents bring an elevated touch to your gown without overshadowing your moment. Cate’s sustainable choice to re-wear her gown from last year's Cannes Film Festival is also a reminder to incorporate thoughtful, meaningful details—perhaps repurposing a favourite dress for your hen’s celebration or gifting your veil to your girlfriend or sister.
