It’s official…we’re in the midst of award season! Love it or hate it, one can’t deny that awards ceremonies are a central part of the culture. After all, what other events in life allow us to celebrate fashion, films, and fabulous people all in one place? Or, at the very least, have an excuse to binge-watch that television show everyone’s been discussing? Award ceremonies have always played a pivotal role in telling us what’s important now, or at least that’s very much the case with the Golden Globes. With this awards ceremony, we’re seeing what’s important on-screen and on the red carpet, too. Golden Globes fashion has often given us a glimpse into what’s happening in broader pop culture… this year is no exception to that rule. As we saw celebrities across the board embrace one of the biggest fashion trends of the moment: “girlhood.” Characterized as a fashion aesthetic in which one embraces the nostalgia surrounding clothing associated with being a young girl, it’s often embodied through bows, sequins, and bright pink. In some ways, one could argue that the popularity this aesthetic has gained is because of the popularity of the Golden Globe-nominated film Barbie, but we digress. Either way, this trend isn’t going anywhere. In an effort to prove that, we’ve rounded up 13 looks that show this year’s 81st Golden Globes Ceremony was for the girls. Plus, we identified the three key trends most worn by celebrities at the celebration with shopping recommendations.
