Top Golden Globes Red Carpet Styles from Stars Over 50

On television and film’s most exciting night, the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, some of the most talked-about beauty moments came from stars who know the red carpet better than anyone. From major nominees to longtime awards-season favorites, the over-50 set delivered polished hair, natural makeup and glowing skin that made them stand out before they ever stepped on stage. These were the looks that stood out.

Nominated for Best Actress in a Limited Series for The Girlfriend, Robin Wright kept her Golden Globes beauty look classic and unfussy. Her short blonde hair was styled with a soft side part and light waves, while makeup stayed polished with defined lashes, warm blush and a nude lip. Paired with a sleek black gown, it was an elegant, confident look that felt completely her.

Keeping things classic, the presenter switched things up with a sleek, side-parted hairstyle, a departure from her usual center part. Styled by celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel using Virtue Labs, the glossy, softly voluminous blowout nodded to ’90s supermodel glamour while still feeling timeless, with the brand’s Healing Oil adding luminous shine through the lengths. The fresh shape paired seamlessly with her shimmering black gown, while glowing skin, bronzy cheeks, and a soft pink lip kept the overall beauty look modern and refined.

Back again, the Golden Globe winner for Hacks fully leaned into her Deborah Vance glamour. Her hair was styled with soft volume and movement, while her makeup stayed luminous and polished, focusing on glowing skin and subtle definition.

Nominated for After the Hunt, Roberts into her signature laid-back glamour. Loose hair and minimal makeup kept the focus on glowing skin and natural features, proving once again that she knows exactly what works for her.

For a Best Supporting Actress nomination tied to The White Lotus, Posey brought her signature sense of drama to the carpet. Sculpted, voluminous hair with a subtle vintage feel paired with bold eye makeup gave the look a confident, playful edge. Her skin was prepped by makeup artist Jo Strettell using SHISEIDO Vital Perfection collection, including the Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream, for a smooth, radiant base before makeup.

Nominated for Matlock, Kathy Bates leaned into classic red carpet elegance, wearing her silver hair swept into a soft updo that complemented her off-the-shoulder Sareh Nouri gown beautifully. She kept her makeup refined with a rosy lip and subtle eye definition.

Best Supporting Actress nominee for Weapons, Amy Madigan arrived at the Golden Globes in a modern update of her 1986 tuxedo look. Makeup artist Nick Barose prepped her skin with G.M. Collin Biocellulose Face Mask, then kept the makeup soft with lightly defined eyes and a sheer berry flush on the lips and cheeks, with hair styled by Pamela Neal at BENJAMIN Salon.

The Kiss of the Spider Woman star brought full glam to the Golden Globes in a sheer archival Jean Louis Scherrer Haute Couture gown that showed off her famous curves. The star wore her hair pulled back into a sleek updo with soft face-framing pieces, pairing it with natural, glowing makeup for a bold look that’s unmistakably J.Lo.

Presenting at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, Anderson returned to her signature blonde with a beehive-inspired updo and sweeping bangs. True to her minimalist approach, she kept makeup barely there, letting her skin take center stage while pairing the look with a crisp white Ferragamo outfit and diamonds. For the finishing touch, celebrity manicurist Kim Truong created a natural, polish-free manicure using Joonbyrd’s Confetti Sky Hand Treatment, giving the star’s hands a hydrated, healthy-looking glow.

Ralph stepped onto the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet in a striking Charles Harbison gown as Abbott Elementary continued its awards-season run. Her hair was styled in a braided bouffant, giving the look a subtle retro touch, while a smoked out eye look and glowing skin kept everything feeling modern.
