One of the most highly anticipated kick-offs to Awards Season is none other than the Golden Globes, where Hollywood royalty sets the tone for red-carpet glamour.

Over its illustrious 80-year history, the Golden Globes has gifted us with jaw-dropping beauty and fashion moments that have become etched into pop culture. It’s not just an awards show—it’s a stage for timeless elegance, daring statements, and the evolution of style.

From Marilyn Monroe's flawless blonde curls and sultry red lips in the 1960s to Grace Kelly’s understated elegance that cemented her status as Hollywood royalty, and Sophia Loren’s smouldering cat-eye that defined an era, the Golden Globes have been synonymous with iconic looks. Fast-forward to the 1970s, where Farrah Fawcett’s feathered hair made waves (quite literally), or the 1990s, when Halle Berry paired her effortless charm with a pixie-cut, proving beauty and boldness go hand in hand.

As we eagerly await the 2025 Golden Globes, set to dazzle us on Sunday January 5, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, it’s only fitting to take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane. From Sarah Jessica Parker’s playful curls and diamond chokers to Beyoncé’s regal updos and shimmering gowns, the Globes have been a treasure trove of beauty inspiration for decades.

Join us as we celebrate some of the most unforgettable vintage Golden Globe beauty moments, where every look told a story of its own, and every star shone just a little brighter under Hollywood's spotlights...
