Glam is back – at a distance
NEW YORK: Glam was back for the Golden Globes virtual, bicoastal awards night as nominees Zoomed in from around the world.
“We won’t have the roaring crowds, we won’t have thousands of flash bulbs,” Brad Goreski, who dressed nominee Kaley Cuoco, told a pre-gala round table on Sunday.
But there was a silver lining for Goreski: “There are definitely things that we can put our clients in” that they normally would not wear on a long evening involving car rides, standing around, eating a meal and doing media appearances.
“We can kind of be a little bit more imaginative this year.”
There was nary a pair of sweats in sight. Jason Sudeikis was a glam outlier in a rainbow tie-dye hoodie from his sister’s clothing line as he picked up an award remotely, saying : “Wow, do I talk now?”
The sweatshirt whipped up buzz on social media, prompting Tina Fey to joke after Sudeikis accepted his award: “If anybody wants to know where they can get Jason Sudeikis’ hoodie, go to nbc.com/globesfashion.” The page, please note, doesn’t exist.
Jodie Foster won wearing a blackand-white silk pajama set from Prada, her dog Ziggy in a bandana to match and her wife by her side.
During a Zoom session with reporters after the show, a giddy Foster stuck out a bare foot showing she went shoeless to collect her award and said: “This is the best Globes ever! To be able to be home just felt really real. It didn’t feel like it was filled with so much artifice.”
Regina King’s dog snoozed in the background before the show as she showed off her Louis Vuitton gown in silver and black while Amanda Seyfried previewed a springy, coral Oscar de la Renta with floral adornment, echoing many stars who said they wanted to bring a little joy.
Anya Taylor Joy had everyone talking on social media with her green Dior Haute Couture dress. She later changed into a white gown when accepting her award for best actress in a limited series.
Gillian Anderson, alone in Prague, wore a green gown and Julia Garner a two-tone Prada black and white look. She didn’t forget the lipstick, a deep red.
Stylist Sophie Lopez revealed a bit of behind-the-scenes magic for pandemic-era red carpets: “We are able to cheat in ways we couldn’t if it was an in-person event.”
Avo Yermagyan, who works with actor Leslie Odom Jr, a nominee for One Night in Miami, said it was “important to be mindful of the tone of what we’re putting on there and be conscious of the fact that people are facing real struggles”.
