2024 Golden Globes: The Biggest Red Carpet Trainwrecks

These Black celebs missed the mark when it came to dressing for the esteemed ceremony.

Last night’s 81st Golden Globe Awards gave us highlights and lowlights. Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Ayo Edebiri walked away victorious while other Black actors (like Fantasia Barrino and Colman Domingo) weren’t given their due. There’s also the fashion we saw on the red carpet, which also had hits and misses. Here are a few folks that just missed the mark.

17 Fashion Trainwrecks from Met Gala 2025

We love Andra Day, but the gloves plus the jewelry plus the feathers plus the platform pumps gave showgirl more than Golden Globes. In 2021, Day won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Billie Holiday in Lee Daniels’ biopic “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.”

Jelani Alladin took a risk mixing patterns with his asymmetrical tuxedo jacket, but it just didn’t work for the Broadway star.

Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes is known for sporting a clean, tailored suit. This was the case last night but the color made the comedian, whose Netflix special “I’m An Entertainer” was released last year, look a little washed out.

Gina Torres

The incredibly versatile and talented Gina Torres is always stunning, but this getup seemed a bit too casual for last night’s ceremony.

Angelique Jackson

This color was beautiful on Variety Senior Entertainment Writer Angelique Jackson, but the fit made it look like the star was drowning in fabric.

Leah Talabi

Leah Talabi is an influencer who knows how to set trends, but there was nothing trendsetting about the cutout holes on this lifeless frock.

Scott Evans

Oh, Scott Evans. We get the need to be edgy as a media personality and host, but all this jacket did was make us gasp.

Fantasia Barrino

Fantasia’s body is incredible, her makeup is perfect, her pixie is laid. But the lavender tulle at the bottom of this form-fitting dress is simply a no. She was killing it on “The Color Purple” press rounds—what happened?

Broadway actor Noah J. Ricketts tried his hand at an unconventional lapel on his tuxedo jacket but it just wound up looking weird.

Erika Alexander

The legendary Erika Alexander can pull off almost anything. However, pairing bold hair with a bold dress is a little too much in this instance—and feels a little random.

David Oyelow

David Oyelow’s monochromatic brown tuxedo left much to be desired.

Seydou Sarr

Senegalese actor Seydou Sarr’s look isn’t bad, per say, but it would have been nice to see him in a little bit of color. Here he is, pictured next to Matteo Garrone.

Daniel Kaluuya

“Get Out” actor Daniel Kaluuya’s look at this year’s Golden Globes made us want to get out a get him another suit, but the actor is known to stun on the red carpet.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 27: Justin Combs, Charlie Liucci, Quincy Taylor Brown and King Combs leave the Sean Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial at Manhattan Federal Court on June 27, 2025 in New York City. Defense attorneys will begin their closing arguments today, “followed by a prosecution rebuttal argument” after the prosecution and defense resting their cases earlier this week. “Then, Judge Arun Subramanian will instruct jurors on the law before deliberations begin”. Some of the charges have been dropped and others have been downgraded, in an effort to streamline the case at the behest of Judge Arun Subramanian. Combs, 55, faces up to life in prison if convicted on charges, which include allegations of threats, arson, violence, and drug-fueled sex parties referred to as "freak offs."
