It wasn’t long after celebrities started arriving on the red carpet at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday that one of the night’s biggest fashion trends came into focus: metallics. Those who wore them included Zendaya, who went with a coppery orange Louis Vuitton gown; Angelina Jolie, who chose a silvery Alexander McQueen dress; and Cate Blanchett, who donned a gold ensemble, also by Vuitton, that she had previously worn at Cannes and that made her shimmer like a statuette.

The many lustrous ensembles brought sparkle to a carpet that was also full of colors, from pale pink Dior (on Anya Taylor-Joy); to navy Carolina Herrera (on Kate Hudson); to red Dolce & Gabbana (on Dakota Fanning). It being an awards show, there was plenty of black, too — most notably, long black gloves that added a bygone touch to the finery.

With some of the biggest stars in television and film in attendance, there was no shortage of fabulous and flamboyant formal wear. These 19 looks, for reasons good and bad, were among the most memorable.
