Red Carpet Royalty: Fashion Trailblazers at the 2025 Golden Globes

 The 2025 Golden Globes red carpet was everything we hoped it would be and more. From debuting daring hairdos to serving old Hollywood glam, the red carpet made sure our jaws stayed glued to the floor. Whether you were team sparkles or dramatic silhouettes, the first event of 2025's awards season did not disappoint.

The cast and crew of Emilia Perez, which won four Golden Globe awards: Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy; Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language; Best Original Song – Motion Picture for “El Mal”; and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for Zoe Saldaña

Here are just some of the standout moments we’re obsessing over: 

Zendaya owns the night (again) 

It’s official — Zendaya is in a league of her own. Styled by the legendary Law Roach, Zendaya graced the carpet in a monochromatic orange custom Louis Vuitton ensemble that left no detail unchecked. From the gown to the heels and even her rusty-hued locks, she was a literal goddess. Iconic. Thank you, Z, for delivering yet again.

Miley Cyrus turns cool-girl chic into an art form 

Fresh off her first Grammy win last year, Miley Cyrus knows a thing or two about making moves -- on the stage and the red carpet. She showed up in a shimmering Celine gown with bold cut-outs, a '00s updo (complete with chunky highlights), and topped it off with the ultimate power move: sunglasses. Take notes a literal goddess. Iconic. Thank you, Z, for delivering yet people: that's how you do effortlessly cool. 

Cynthia Erivo defies gravity with drama 

Cynthia Erivo's structured peplum commanded everyone’s attention.  With a deep v-neckline and silver embellishments, the Louis Vuitton ensemble exuded drama and confidence, perfectly complementing her jaw-dropping performance in Wicked.

Cate Blanchett’s golden comeback

Cate Blanchett joined Viola Davis in proving that red carpet magic can happen twice in the same dress. Blanchett returned to the Golden Globes in a gold Louis Vuitton gown that had already made waves at Cannes less than a year ago. Its cape-style bodice, metallic shoulder detailing, sleek column skirt, and dramatic train were pure elegance. She paired the show-stopping gown with minimal accessories and a sharp side-parted blonde bob.

Viola Davis re-wears Gucci like royalty 

Viola Davis understood the assignment and flipped the sustainability script. When Gucci creates a masterpiece, why not wear it more than once? The 2025 Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree brought back her stunning black sequined dress from the 2024 LACMA Gala, this time wearing it with a rainbow cape. Bravo to Davis and her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, for making rewearing just as fabulous as a red carpet debut. 

Elle Fanning perfects print play 

Need proof that fashion risks pay off? Look no further than Elle Fanning. Her leopard-print Balmain gown featuring a corseted champagne waist and sequined bust might sound chaotic on paper, but on her? Pure harmony. She paired it with gold Cartier for that extra oomph, reminding us why she’s the queen of combining elegance with edge. 

Emma Stone’s new pixie cut 

Emma Stone unveiled a brand-new pixie cut that wowed fans on the red carpet. Rumored to be for her upcoming film, Bugonia, the haircut was paired with a radiant red Louis Vuitton gown that served straight-up Hollywood sophistication. If her new look is any indication, 2025 is the year of Emma making serious moves. 

Angelina Jolie sparkles alongside her daughter

Angelina Jolie knows how to make a statement, and the stunning diva made an unforgettable entrance in a bedazzled long-sleeved dress with sheer panels and streaks of black and silver sequins. Jolie wasn’t alone — walking beside her was her daughter, Zahara Jolie, rocking a custom white Alexander McQueen dress adorned with a sequined cherry tree-inspired pattern. 

Ariana Grande goes full Audrey Hepburn 

Speaking of hair revamps, Ariana Grande ditched her platinum locks for a more honey-brown ‘do. The talented star arrived in a 1966 yellow haute couture Givenchy gown, paired with white gloves, and Swarovski crystal accents, she was serving "Good Witch", but make it fashion.

Timothée Chalamet saves the men’s fashion scene (Again) 

Timothée Chalamet didn’t just suit up last night. Still paying homage to Bob Dylan, he paired a simple black suit with a delightfully quirky polka-dot skinny scarf, he gave us just enough edge to keep things interesting.

Hollywood's biggest nights, streaming exclusively on Lionsgate Play 

This year, Lionsgate Play brought the glitz and glamour of the Golden Globes directly to fans in the Philippines with an exclusive live stream of the star-studded event. Missed the live show? No worries — you can still catch all the unforgettable highlights, award wins, and dazzling red carpet looks by rewatching the entire event on Lionsgate Play, the Home of Awards.

Kim Ji Soo had a lot of hot moments in 2024


In July, he surprised everyone by being part of the GMA show Black Rider as Adrian Park. Apart from showcasing his action skills in the series, he also flexed his physique through a sexy shower scene.



Even when he is performing onstage, there’s no doubt that Kim Ji Soo is one of the sexiest celebrities right now. Last December 6, he performed at a benefit concert in Legazpi City.

Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship: Your Path to Success at Japan’s Premier Universities

 Ajinomoto Group Turning Aspirations into Achievements at Japan’s Leading Universities

 

Before the Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship, Rogie Royce Caradang was a college kid with a dream and global perspective. He knew he wanted to do more after he graduated, to expand his education so he could learn everything he could about science.

 

It was Rogie Royce's dearest wish to make a difference in the world of science. And before  the Ajinomoto Foundation Scholarship Program he was in search of direction. Once he realized he was a perfect fit, a high achiever looking to broaden his horizons, he applied and pursued his postgraduate studies in Japan.

 

His experience in Japan was life changing. But Carandang knew that he was only going to get as far as he was willing to work hard. But in studying abroad and gaining a new springboard towards his dreams, he was able to breakthrough and even make consequential discoveries that may even lead to cures for illnesses like cancer. 

 

Carandang started his Masteral Degree in Aquatic Natural Products Chemistry at the University of Tokyo in April 2013and finished it in March 2016. He was able to publish his research in an international journal and parlayed his success into a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Connecticut Health. His journey exemplifies the Ajinomoto Postgraduate Scholarship’s potential to create global impact while shaping professional and personal growth.

 

"This scholarship is not just financial support—it is a transformative opportunity to broaden your horizons, advance your career, and make a lasting impact in your field." says the now world-renowned Research Fellow. Carandang attributes his success to hard-work, finding the right focus, and then taking that leap off a springboard into more than he had ever thought he could achieve. 

 

The Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship program catapulted Carandang onto the international stage. Now it’s up to him to show the world what he is capable of. Nowadays, those goals are so much greater than he could have even imagined as a college kid. His post-graduate studies showed him new dreams, new problems, and new solutions and as a scientist, that’s all he could ask for. 

 

The Ajinomoto Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship is a culturally immersive support program to encourage postgraduate studies in top universities in Japan. This grant supports deserving Filipino students looking to pursue master’s degree in Food Science and Technology, Human Nutrition, Chemistry, and Engineering. The Program is seeking applicants now for the 202cycle of awards. Visithttps://www.ajinomoto.com.ph/whats-new-archive/2026-ajinomoto-foundation-postgraduate-scholarship-grant/ to know more.
