Award show season is here and today the 2024 festivities kicked off with the 81st annual Golden Globes.

From the cast of the Barbie movie, to A-list stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Timothee Chalamet and Oprah, the event saw a who’s who of Hollywood take a turn on the red carpet. And while we were, of course, keeping our eyes on the best red carpet fashion (Natasha Lyonne in Schiaparelli has my vote) we were also taken by many of the showstopping beauty looks on display.

Rachel Brosnahan and Sarah Snook leant into the hair bow trend that appears to be omnipresent right now, while Emma Stone and Ayo Edebiri opted for flicky bobs. Elsewhere updos were given new vitality through modern colours and fun plaits.

Without further ado, keep scrolling for 9 of the best hair and beauty looks we spotted at the 2024 Golden Globes.

Erika Alexander’s colourful braids

Now this is what we call having fun with fashion. Erika Alexander’s colourful updo was undoubtedly one of the most show-stopping beauty looks from today’s red carpet. Getty

Emma Stone’s flicky bob

Emma Stone is a fan of understated beauty looks; we love her minimalist approach and it’s all in the details. Here the star has added a small kick to the end of her bob, proving that sometimes the smallest styling tricks can have the biggest impact.

Ayo Edebiri also opted for a similar look with a flicked bob of her own. Getty

Rachel Brosnahan’s bow

Anyone with an eye on fashion (or a TikTok account) would know that bows have been everywhere over the last few months. Rachel Brosnahan decided to get in on the trend, adding a long red hair bow to further heighten her already statement-making ponytail. Getty

Florence Pugh’s faux hawk

Always one to march to the beat of her own (beauty) drum, Pugh arrived at the 2024 Golden Globes with a faux hawk, reminiscent of the looks Austin Butler was sporting in Elvis. Getty

Issa Rae’s updo

This is no ordinary updo. Issa Rae decided to forgo the tried-and-tested French twist for something altogether more interesting, adding intricate plaits to her updo, and we are obsessed. Getty
