Geena Davis

At least she looks great.

Seal and Heidi Klum

I have never forgotten this dress. I HATE IT. It looks like it's actively shoving her boobs into her waist.

Emma Thompson

This is similarly disastrous.

Emma and Colin Firth

Special guest star Mr. Darcy!

Charlize Theron

This doesn't look like anyone put any thought into it at all.

Renee Zellweger

This is good on her -- it's not the sweetheart-neckline Carolina Herrera that I feel like she wore for ages.

Scarlett Johansson

ScarJo was up for her Woody Allen movie, Match Point. Her makeup is underwhelming.

Hilary Swank

It's a snore, but she wasn't there as a nominee and probably figured a snore would suffice.

Sandra Oh

You complete me, Cristina Yang.

Ellen Pompeo

Is Meredith Grey inadvertently flashing us some of her anatomy?

Katherine Heigl

That's nice on her. And, a rare pattern!

Tyler James Williams

Well HELLO THERE, Gregory Eddie! This man had swagger from the jump.

Nancy Walls, Steve Carell

This couple is going strong, unlike in our 1996 slideshow.

Yoon-jin Kim

This is romantic and beautiful, and the slight blurriness of her clutch kind of makes it look like a golden cocktail shaker.

Joaquin Phoenix

WERE WE EVER SO YOUNG???

Barbara Hershey

She looks a little like Sutton Foster here to me.

Debi Mazar

When I referenced Sutton, I didn't even realize Debi was on the next slide! They famously co-starred in Younger. Debi basically still looks exactly like this.

Harold Perrineau

Ketchup AND mustard? Hot damn!

Jessica Alba

I like that. Was this the year they were promoting her pretty heavily? There was a year where she attended all the awards shows for no real reason and arrived early for max carpet time, and it felt like PR. They did something similar with Jessica Biel one year. "They." Like there is a PR Council of Hollywood.

Laura Linney

This is so close to being great, but it looks so pinchy.

Michelle Williams

This is a bit muddled, but it's also at least lively and interesting and unafraid to take up space.

with Heath Ledger

Her shoes were so wrong with this, but she was so happy. Sniffle.

Pamela Anderson

That's a weird baggy boob sling.

Linda Cardellini

It is VERY jarring to see her as a blond.

Alanis Morissette

SAME NOTE. However, do I at least like her dress? Also no.

Mariah Carey

This looks like they wanted to go bare and she was like, "NO," so they filled it in with fabric scraps.

Kate Beckinsale

It's nice to see her in something that doesn't involve 7-inch platform thigh high boots. OR MAYBE IT DOES.

Marcia Cross

I always miss her on my TV. She's stunning.

Gwyneth Paltrow

It would seem Apple Martin was in attendance. I am not a fan of this at all, and the shoes seem to clash with the vibe, but she was pregnant so if she was comfortable that's really the win.

Fergie

That seems more like the MTV Movie Awards.

Mandy Moore

She was always the cutest.

Sarah Jessica Parker

I watched some SATC the other day, and it's just really remarkable how much energy she brought to that role that was COMPLETELY lacking in ANY of the AJLT episodes.

Faith Hill, Tim McGraw

Sort of gloomy, but okay.

Emmy Rossum

She is someone I feel should turn up as the killer of the week on Elsbeth. This dress is woeful.

Rachel Weisz

She was pregnant here. I REALLY like the dress but my goodness her hair is reaching for the Lord.

Penelope Cruz

I almost wrote, "She looks like Penelope Cruz." YES HEATHER. SHE DOES. I think I still had the words "Rachel Weisz" kicking around in my head.

Evangeline Lilly

Glorious.

Cynthia Nixon

I was going to say I don't hate this dress, but I actually might hate this dress. I just think the bow doesn't have enough contrast -- it looks like a box of chocolates sold at, like, Macy's, or something -- and it sits too low.

Keria Knightley

Speaking of sitting too low, although that waist tie situation is pretty.

Kyra Sedgwick

This ALSO sits too low, I think? Am I the problem here?

Zhang Ziyi

We did a slideshow about her in 2024, in advance of her being on the Venice jury, if you want to see more loveliness.

Melanie Griffith

Dakota might wear that without the stole, right? I want her to raid Melanie's closet for a year just for fun.

Intern George

Hello, you. Fun fact: We hadn't hired him yet; he was a few months away from the job that would change his life.

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe

This is infamously a 2002 Chanel dress that Kirsten Dunst wore to the Globes in 2003, and then it popped up here. Reese won and it was predicted; it's weird to me that Chanel recycled a dress from this same awards show, to a presumptive victor. Also... it's a bad dress. .

Teri Hatcher

Smashing.

Natalie Portman

Meh. But black lace rarely interests me, so this really MIGHT be a me problem.

Anne Hathaway

She had shot Devil Wears Prada but not released it yet; apparently she had not yet absorbed some of the fashion lessons of Andy Sachs. It feels VERY Teen At A Spring Dance.

Diane Kruger

Solid. That's a compliment.

Jaime Pressly

And here's Margot Robbie 1.0! (I jest, Jaime, you are your own person and you look great and Margot should borrow it.)

Happy 20th Anniversary to the 2006 Golden Globes

And to Geena Davis, Reese's repeat dress, and blond Alanis in a BAD BAD gown.
