The 2026 Golden Globe Awards kicked off awards season last night and as with all awards ceremonies there were some winners and some —how do we say this politely—people who did not win. Of course it’s easy to track who has piled up the most nominations or taken home the most awards in any given season, but the competition on the red carpet is a little less clear. That’s where you, VF reader, come in.

We asked you to vote for your favorites from our best dressed list, and here’s why: Starting today through the rest of awards season, we will be tracking who you think are the best dressed celebrities overall. We will be updating this leaderboard with your votes after each major awards ceremony to see who is winning the red carpet competition. (We are big about democracy here at VF.)

After the Golden Globes last night, the people have spoken and we have our first winner: Timothée Chalamet! The Marty Supreme star wore an all-black Chrome Hearts look, which he paired with Timberland boots like the born and raised New Yorker that he is. I can tell you that the outfit was somewhat divisive amongst our fashion team—for starters, the head-to-toe black was startling to some after a run of great and colorful, even if also monochromatic, looks. There’s also the fact that this was a slightly less dressy version of Chalamet than the one who won last week at the Critics Choice Awards in a pinstripe double breasted suit by Givenchy. It was, plainly, his more straightforward look of the season. This is why I liked it, and why he made the list—Chalamet is a clothes chameleon, and this showed his range while showing that menswear on the red carpet doesn’t always need to be a black tux. It doesn’t even need to involve a tie!

Amanda Seyfried’s ethereal Atelier Versace look took the second spot, with Miley Cyrus trailing right behind. As awards season progresses, expect some of these names to fall off to make way to new ones—that’s just the name of the game! Chalamet’s early lead should come as no surprise here. He’s an awards show and red carpet darling, often making best dressed lists or at least sparking conversation with his outfits. (And hey, at least he wasn’t wearing orange last night!) There’s also the fact that Chalamet took home the award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy—we can’t blame you, our dear audience, for wanting to give him a bonus!

Will Chalamet maintain his lead? Can someone else enter the top 10 after the next big show? We’ll have to wait and see.

When he’s not walking a red carpet, Moura dresses less showily: “Very simple, very discreet.” While he appreciates good clothes and the art of fashion, “it’s not something that I’m very into. I don’t know the brands nor the stylists nor the creators that well. But I think it’s a beautiful world of creativity, and I really respect it.”

As The Secret Agent’s Armando, Moura wears classic 1970s Brazilian fashion: light shirts with several rows of unbuttoned buttons, with a little chest peeking out. “A little chest peeking out,” he repeated back to me, laughing. “That’s exactly what it is.” Wearing those clothes dredged up his own memories: “They really remind me of the way my father used to dress up, with the chest peeking out. Back then, in the ’70s, at least in Brazil, I remember all the men—my uncles and all the adults—they would wear their shirts like that.” Armando’s style has started to bleed into Moura’s own off-camera life. “I have some buttoned shirts, and now I unbutton at least two buttons down to incorporate that chest-peeking-out vibe into my personal style,” he said.

He was a little less cheeky about what Sunday night meant to him. At the Globes, Moura became the first Brazilian actor to win best actor in a drama film; it seems likelier than ever that he will get an Oscar nomination for the role. The film’s success evokes the trajectory of the 2024 film I’m Still Here, which earned several Oscar nominations (and one win) after a solid showing at the 2025 Golden Globes.

Awards season has officially left the station. Last weekend’s Critics Choice Awards set the engine in motion—and this weekend, the train continues chugging as the 83rd annual Golden Globes unfold Sunday night. As One Battle After Another tries to pull away from the best-picture pack and the acting races get increasingly cutthroat, a strong showing at the Globes has the power to change or cement an awards narrative. Without further ado, here’s your guide to how to watch the 2026 Golden Globes.

Where are the 2026 Golden Globes?

The 83rd annual Golden Globes will occur at the event’s usual venue, The Beverly Hilton, on Sunday, January 11. The ceremony is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.

Who’s hosting the Golden Globes?

For the second year in a row, Nikki Glaser will host the ceremony. A veteran comedian, Glaser knocked her first hosting gig out of the park last year, ending a streak of so-so and straight-up bad hosts at the Golden Globes. In an interview for Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Issue, Glaser revealed how much preparation she puts into high-profile gigs like hosting the Golden Globes. “There are people that can pull these things off with little to no preparation and are just that talented. I am not that person,” she said. “I need the training. I treat them like the Olympics. You only get one shot.”

How can I watch the Golden Globes?

Traditionalists can watch the Golden Globes live on CBS. Cord-cutters can stream the awards ceremony live on Paramount+.

Who’s nominated this year?

As always, there’s a host of glittering stars nominated at this year’s Golden Globes. Going into the ceremony, the film with the most momentum is Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, leading the pack with nine nominations and multiple acting nominees in stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and newcomer Chase Infiniti. Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value follows close behind with eight nominations, including for Stellan Skarsgård, Elle Fanning, Renate Reinsve, and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas.

Elsewhere, Ariana Grande represents theater kids worldwide with a best-supporting-actress nomination for her work in Wicked: For Good. Jennifer Lawrence scored a lead-actress nod for Die My Love, Julia Roberts is back in the mix with After the Hunt, and Kate Hudson made the cut for her Neil Diamond tribute-band biopic, Song Sung Blue. Michael B. Jordan scored a nod for his dual roles in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, while Critics Choice Award winners Jacob Elordi and Timothée Chalamet have the chance to win two weeks in a row for Frankenstein and Marty Supreme, respectively. Adam Sandler and George Clooney are recognized for Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, and The Smashing Machine’s Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are in contention as well.

And don’t forget that the Golden Globes also honor TV. In the supporting-actor categories, White Lotus stars Walton Goggins, Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Aimee Lou Wood, and Carrie Coon are all nominated. The Studio’s Seth Rogen and Catherine O’Hara scored noms in lead actor and supporting actress as well. And in the limited-series category, Netflix’s Adolescence has the opportunity to extend its winning streak, as Emmy winners Owen Cooper, Stephen Graham, and Erin Doherty are all nominated. For the first time ever, the Golden Globes will also give out a statuette for best podcast, which could go to, among others, a celebrity like Amy Poehler, for her Good Hang podcast, or Dax Shepard, for his Armchair Expert podcast.

There’s something about looking in the rearview mirror—even season after season in fashion—that gives us a bit of clarity. And it’s about that time: on Sunday, the biggest celebrity names will turn out on the Golden Globes red carpet and set the tone for many of our choices in the year. My hope is that if style in 2025 revolved around a breakneck speed competition for virality and the repackaging of self into a new kind of perfection (was it a coincidence that The Substance was a major player last awards year?), that in 2026 the fashion on the red carpet kicks off a quest for individuality.

We’ve already started to see some of the most interesting characters in Hollywood dressing the part: Teyana Taylor in a vertiginously cut Tom Ford dress by Haider Ackermann to the Time 100 Next gala late last year—the kind of sartorial irreverence only she could propose as black tie. And Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner in ping-pong ball-orange, upped the ante of how stars can leverage fashion to promote a film by way of a viral look. These two know well how to be famous, and understand how many eyes are on them when they step out together—why not embrace the circus? (There’s also Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs, who meme-fied Chalamet and Jenner at the Critics Choice Awards earlier this week—yes, please, more fun!)

Alternatively, Jessie Buckley is embodying the movie star in her own, subtle and sophisticated way by wearing mostly black and white and offering resistance, in a sense, to the sartorial spectacle of the red carpet. Buckley, who is styled by Goldberg this season, has been wearing custom Dior and Chanel and The Row—the most coveted of labels. She looks great, but most of all looks like herself. How fabulous. The same could be said of Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal, who look every bit the leading man without the gimmick of the internet boyfriend—no red carpet thirst traps or attempts at standing out for no reason at all. They look good, sexy; Elordi in a leather tie and Mescal in tuxedos worn over silky knit v-necks, both at the Critics Choice Awards. Even those behind the camera are coming as they are: see Chloé Zhao, in witchy and ethereal Lanvin and Rodarte frocks.

In the last year, the conversation around fashion could be neatly packaged into two separate bundles.

Within the industry, it was a time of disruption: close to two dozens of luxury fashion houses, including giants like Christian Dior, Chanel, and Gucci and small-but-mighty favorites like Loewe and Dries Van Noten changed their creative leads, altering the fashion landscape and the way in which we will dress moving forward. Giorgio Armani, one of the industry’s last-remaining working patriarchs, died in September at 91; and the Prada Group, which owns the Prada brand and Miu Miu, purchased Versace after Donatella Versace’s exit from the helm of the label she safeguarded and spearheaded for close to three decades following her brother Gianni’s murder in 1997. Fashion, in an emotional sense, is moving into 2026 without the work of two of its guiding lights.

From the outside looking in, fashion grappled with the rise of newly ever shrinking bodies. Thinness, now commandeered by Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, refashioned the style landscape as models, actors, influencers, and even athletes were downsizing to new extremes. Clothes on the runways mostly shrank to accommodate to these standards of yore, which had been challenged by the body positivity movement of the late 2010s but were now being resurrected and revitalized. The number on the scales and measuring tapes seemingly mattered more than ever before, and if that wasn’t enough, but the adage “age is just a number” took literal meaning: The popularization of deep plane facelifts, and the conversation around the wealthy looking decades younger, took a toll on fashion, too. The new luxury is not just what’s in one’s closet, but how youthful and tiny that one can pay to look.
