After 148 days of the Hollywood shutdown, the 2024 Golden Globes kicked off award season and signaled the return of sumptuous, red carpet fashion. This year’s event, in particular, was a special one, as several of our favorite celebrities decided to opt for wedding-worthy ensembles that brides and grooms can look to for inspiration while planning their big day. (After all, isn’t a wedding just an intimate red carpet event?)
Actors like Elle Fanning, Cailee Spaeny, and Aminah Nieves wore feminine and flirty dresses that would be perfect for a formal springtime affair, while Emma Stone, Keri Russell, and America Ferrera chose bold and sexy bridal-adjacent gowns that are at once modern and chic. Julia Schlaepfer even sported an actual wedding dress designed by Danielle Frankel! Simply put, the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet served as the ultimate wedding fashion destination for brides of all styles.
Ahead, here are the top wedding-worthy looks from the 81st Golden Globe Awards.

America Ferrera
America Ferrera channeled bridal Barbie in a stunning Dolce & Gabbana gown that featured three-dimensional beaded details and allover sequin. Pro tip: Draw inspiration from her dress if you’re on the hunt for a knockout reception ensemble.

Elle Fanning
We can’t get over Elle Fanning’s vintage Pierre Balmain dress—a true bridal vision. From the bow on the neckline to the satin fabrication and the A-line silhouette, this getup would look just as good walking down the aisle as it did on the red carpet.

Emma Stone
Emma Stone showed up to the 2024 Golden Globe Awards in a dress that’s perfect for brides who want to make a bold statement on their big day. The Poor Things actor sported a nude, floral-embellished look that featured a plunging neckline and daring middle split—an outfit that’s not for the faint of hearts.

Camila Morrone
Daisy Jones & the Six star Camila Morrone channeled bridal minimalism with this strapless Givenchy gown. The best part? She paired her frock with a light and airy scarf that doubled as a train (an accessory that’s great for brides getting married during the cooler months).

Elizabeth Olsen
Between the lace, the corset bodice, and the train, Elizabeth Olsen’s Vivienne Westwood gown has every detail needed for the perfect wedding dress. All that’s missing is a veil and a flower bouquet to complete her bridal-adjacent look.

Greta Lee
Greta Lee’s Loewe gown is the personification of bridal elegance. We absolutely love the simplicity of the design, which allowed for her “something blue” cocktail ring and diamond earrings to shine.

Elizabeth Debicki
Another bold, sequined look, Elizabeth Debicki’s Christian Dior Haute Couture gown is one we can see brides wearing to their rehearsal dinner or after party. It’s a lovely piece for those who want to make a statement on their big day, while still remaining fashion-forward.

Natasha Lyonne
Natasha Lyonne’s Schiaparelli Haute Couture getup, which featured tiered layers of fringe and a pointed neckline, is a look that will live rent-free in our minds for the next few months. While it makes a daring statement, it’s still practical enough to wear as a second (or third) bridal gown.

Aminah Nieves
Need inspiration for a “something blue” outfit? Look no further than Aminah Nieves’ Golden Globes dress. We can absolutely see brides sporting a version of this ensemble to their bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or formal engagement party.

Julia Schlaepfer
Julia Schlaepfer tapped wedding dress designer Danielle Frankel for her red carpet ensemble, and we couldn’t be more excited! The best part? Brides can shop the exact look directly on the designer’s website.

Hunter Schafer
Hunter Schafer’s blush pink Prada gown makes our list as one of the top wedding-worthy looks of the night. While it stunned on the red carpet, we think it would look even better at an intimate backyard ceremony or a New York City rooftop elopement.

Quinta Brunson
If you’re searching for a sign to wear a sequined party dress to your reception, this is it! Draw inspiration from Abbot Elementary star Quinta Brunson, and purchase a glistening gold dress you could dance the night away in.

Keri Russell
Keri Russell’s Jil Sander getup is another party dress we’d love to see photographed at a future wedding. Follow her lead and style yours with a diamond necklace and white feather clutch.

Cailee Spaeny
There’s no denying that Cailee Spaeny looked effortlessly bridal in this strapless, floral-printed Miu Miu dress. The exposed bodice is perfectly on trend, while the tea-length hemline provides a vintage aesthetic.

Jelani Alladin
For grooms searching for a bit of inspiration, Jelani Alladin’s floral-printed suit is one to know—especially if you subscribe to unconventional fashion aesthetics. Our favorite detail? The asymmetrical silhouette of the suit jacket.

Ali Wong
Ali Wong turned heads on the red carpet with this gorgeous Christian Dior Haute Couture bridal-adjacent gown. It was the perfect ensemble for her history-making evening, and a look we recommend brides consider for their own special days.
of 19
Natalie Portman
The 2024 Golden Globe Awards also provided beautiful inspiration for moms, too! Case in point: Natalie Portman’s Dior gown is a lovely dress for mothers of the bride and groom to consider for black-tie and formal affairs.

Lily Gladstone
We’re absolutely in awe of Lily Gladstone’s Valentino getup, which proves that black is certainly an appropriate color to wear as a bride.

Riley Keough
Riley Keough channeled boho bridal aesthetics with this Chanel lace gown. We can envision a version of this look being worn at seaside nuptials or desert weddings held in Joshua Tree.
