Timothée Chalamet defied expectations at the Golden Globes, opting for a 'bad boy Bond' black ensemble by Chrome Hearts with a Cartier necklace, signaling a broader shift towards subdued, classic menswear. While most attendees, including women, embraced black, a few stars like Wunmi Mosaku and Elle Fanning brought rare flashes of color and individuality, challenging the prevailing staid trend.
Timothée Chalamet's arrival at the Golden Globes in a black T-shirt, vest, jacket, and Timberland boots by Chrome Hearts, accessorized with a five-figure Cartier necklace, put an end to speculation about him wearing orange. Styled by Taylor McNeill, his 'bad boy Bond' look set the tone for an evening dominated by subdued tones and a return to the 'staid suit' for men, with many, including Jacob Elordi and Leonardo DiCaprio, opting for contemporary twists on the tuxedo. This shift, described as the 'performative male is over,' was largely welcomed by industry insiders who noted a move towards 'nice regular clothing' and expertly-cut suits. The trend of black also reigned supreme among women, with stars like Aimee Lou Wood, Teyana Taylor, and Ayo Edebiri choosing elegant yet safe black ensembles. However, moments of color were all the more precious: Bella Ramsey shocked with a pink bow on her Prada suit, Elle Fanning sparkled in metallic Gucci, Emily Blunt wore a perkily white Louis Vuitton gown, and Amanda Seyfried stunned in white Versace. The standout was Wunmi Mosaku, who revealed her pregnancy in a canary yellow Matthew Reisman gown, rich with cultural meaning. The red carpet also showcased new designers, with Jessie Buckley in Dior, Tessa Thompson in Balenciaga, and Rose Byrne in Chanel. Amidst the sartorial statements, some attendees, like Mark Ruffalo, sported 'BE GOOD' pins, offering a moment of political reprieve from the largely commercial event.
