Zendaya stepped out to the 2025 Golden Globe Awards in an elegant corset gown inspired by the late American singer and activist, Joyce Bryant.

Zendaya’s dress in particular appears to be an homage to a Zelda Wynn Valdez dress Bryant wore on the cover of her 1954 album, Runnin’ Wild. Valdez, a Black designer helped redefine Bryant’s image (in some ways similar to the relationship between Law and Zendaya).

Though she also dressed stars like Dorothy Dandridge, Gladys Knight, and Earth Kitt. She also designed the original Playboy bunny uniform.

Dress itself is lovely. It is from the Haute Couture S/S 1966 collection by Hubert de Givenchy.

In a release about the look, an archivist at Givenchy shared, "The dress is pale yellow silk with a hand-beaded bodice ... from the epic Givenchy Haute Couture/Audrey Hepburn era ... cne of the most important unions between a designer and muse."

Thanks for the background -- my first thought was Hepburn and now I see why.

I think the gloves were wrong and that the color doesn't work, especially with her hair that shade of blonde. I think if she'd gone platinum it would have worked better, though unfortunately she still would have been screwed over by that pale pink and yellow rose backdrop. She looks better in the room (though the dress itself is less striking while seated).

Couldn’t find Audrey in that dress - only a similar one

I wish we could see if against the green background. Against the yellow she just disappears into the background.

The color story still doesn't work for me -- she looks sick here. Agree with the PP who said her skin tone is too warm for this yellow and it's made worse by the auburn tones in her hair. This is not a warm yellow so it clashes.

I loved this look from 2019 Grammys, styled by Law Rowch

This photo mainly just makes me think she badly needs to evolve her hair and makeup look. It doesn't need to be drastically different but come on -- this is 6 years ago and it's the *exact same* look from the neck up. Enough.

Well, it’s not the exact same — it’s worse. I think I figured out what is so odd about her current expression — her eyebrows are gone and replaced by a ginger colored eyebrow pencil. It gives her face a really weird expression. Normal eyebrows would really help the whole look.

Zendaya, Elle Fanning, and Selena Gomez for traditional glamour.

Kate Winslet and Timothee Chalamet for elegant quirk.

Demi Moore for rocking her look and memorable speech.

Did Hepburn wea the dress? She had dark hair and more blue toned skin. Grande has more yellow toned Mediterranean skin plus the light reddish hair makes it all extremely washed out and sallow looking. A softer, fuller look on her hair might have helped balance it out a little. It’s a beautiful dress but wrong for her and badly styled here.

Both Ariana Grande and Zendaya should not be wearing warm colors with their skin tones.

Zendaya can wear any tone she pleases.

The PP was talking about wearing colors that flatter. I known some don't believe on that but the concept is not discriminationatory. For example, I am a little darker than Zoe Saldana but with the same undertones, and never wear ivory, light beige, olive, for example. These colors look dead on me. Yes some believe now flattery and silhouette do not matter and anything goes, but I don’t.

DP but I think some of us just disagree that Zendaya looks bad in that bronze color. I like her in that dress. I agree with color theory generally and that sometimes certain colors are just wrong on certain people. But I loved her in the bronze dress. It worked for me.

Yeah, she looks great here. The hair color is so much better than the red tone she has now, the grey-blue is a more flattering color/. She also looks like she has lost weight since then, and it doesn’t look healthy. Incidentally she was really good on SNL this season — I do think she has some real talent.

Same. Amazing performances. I think it’s probably difficult for most people to understand.

Yes we must all be too uncultured to appreciate a woke spin on a 2,000 year old religion. Let’s see them try that with some other choice religions.

That you think Conclave has anything to do with “woke spin” illustrates my point. You don’t understand it at all.




My stunning looks:
Selena
Elle Fanning. I hate animal print. I don’t like pale on pale. But she is stunning in that Balmain
Mindy Kaling

Abby Elliott was so close for me, but the slit felt gratuitous. Otherwise a stunning look.

You paid a stylist for this?
Ariana- it’s the coloring. It’s just not for her.
Timothée Chalamet. Sir, you look like Edgar Allen Poe headed for a skating party and it’s disconcerting

At the 2025 Golden Globes, Cate Blanchett took her custom gold sequin Louis Vuitton gown, which she first wore at the Cannes Film Festival in May, for another spin.

The gilded cape-style number was hand-embroidered with gold microglass tube and boasted a floor-grazing train.

She has started doing this a lot in recent years -- rewearing red carpet dresses or repurposing old things from her closet. I appreciate it. People need to understand that being stylish does NOT mean buying a new wardrobe every year or never repeating an outfit you've been photographed in. I love the movement towards more sustainable fashion and encouraging people to slowly build smaller, higher quality wardrobes instead of loading up on disposable fast fashion.

She looks like she just arrived from last call at the truck stop.

What?? She looks amazing and her dress is flattering.

But her hosting - snore -
Did not enjoy her overly earnest and obvious take on what makes for good TV drama

She also doesn't look quite like herself. I don't know if it's the weight loss or the work she's had done, but she just looked off.

Loved her acceptance speech!

So good!

“Thirty years ago I had a producer tell me I was a popcorn actress and at that time I made that mean that I wasn’t allowed to have this, that I could do movies that were successful and made a lot of money but that I wouldn’t be acknowledged and I bought in and I believed that,” Moore said. “A few years ago I thought that this was it, maybe I’ve done what I was supposed to do and then I had this magical bold courageous out of the box absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance and the universe told me you’re not done.”

“In those moments when we don’t think we are smart enough or pretty enough, or skinny enough or successful enough or basically just not enough, I had a woman say to me just know you will never be enough, but you can know the measure of your work if you just put down the measuring stick. I treat this as a marker that I do belong,” Moore said.

Disagree on Zendaya, but only because her skin literally glows from within. It lets her get away with a lot of stuff that should not work. She's advanced.
