The Golden Globes are back to kick off 2026 awards season, complete with dazzlingly dressed celebrities — and others who missed the mark.
Nikki Glaser returns to host the ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton, after making history last year as the first woman to run the Globes stage solo.
From Nick Jonas to Alicia Silverstone, some of Hollywood’s biggest names have already walked the red carpet. And while most of them turned heads for the right reasons, others opted for slightly more risqué looks.
From see-through gowns to odd sequin details, some celebrities made bold choices ahead of the big ceremony.
Here are some of the most daring looks from the 2026 Golden Globes:
