Sideboob steals the spotlight as Jenna Ortega and Lori Harvey push the ‘risk it all’ trend at Golden Globes 2026

Hollywood’s boldest fashion statements took center stage at the 2026 Golden Globes, where daring and unapologetic sideboob became the night’s defining trend.

From architectural cutouts to barely there draping, stars arrived at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles ready to push red-carpet boundaries, with Jenna Ortega, Teyana Taylor and Lori Harvey leading the charge.

Ortega made a dramatic entrance in a black high-neck column gown by Dilara Findikoglu that balanced gothic elegance with jaw-dropping edge.

The actress’s look featured unexpected open sides that bared major sideboob, while fringed cap sleeves and an embellished collar added couture drama.

The gown dipped into a low-cut, whale-tail-style detail in the back, ensuring every angle delivered.

The 23-year-old, who was styled by longtime collaborator Enrique Melendez, completed the look with a sleek low-bun updo and wispy bangs, pairing a nude lip and doll-like lashes with her signature bleached brows.

Ortega attended the ceremony as a nominee for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her work on Netflix’s supernatural hit, Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Taylor stunned in a custom black Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown that wrapped around her neck and sliced across her chest, leaving parts of her torso exposed and flashing serious sideboob. 

The back of the dress dipped even lower, revealing her upper back and the top of her butt, accented by a diamond-encrusted bow placed precisely at the waist.

‘The crack is covered in diamonds,’ Taylor joked during an interview with Justin Sylvester on Live from E!: Golden Globes 2026. ‘Expensive, expensive.’

She added that her toughest critics – her children Junie, 10, and Rue Rose, 5 – fully approved.

‘Those are my two biggest fashion critics,’ she said. ‘But they was living tonight. They was living tonight.’

Harvey, meanwhile, delivered a quieter but no less striking fashion moment. 

The model turned heads in a vintage look she styled herself, according to hairstylist Ray Christopher, proving that strategic cut and confident styling can be just as powerful as couture spectacle. 

Her sleek silhouette subtly framed sideboob, offering a masterclass in restraint that still read undeniably sexy.

The night’s daring didn’t stop there. 

Justine Lupe shocked onlookers in a peach-toned naked dress from Armani Privé’s Fall/Winter 2021 Couture collection. 

The strapless gown featured sheer layers, glittering fringe and a figure-hugging silhouette that freed the nipple and left little to the imagination.

Lupe attended in support of Netflix hit Nobody Wants This, which earned two nominations, including a nod for co-star Kristen Bell.

Not to be outdone, Jennifer Lopez delivered her own show-stopping moment in a nude mesh turtleneck gown by Jean-Louis Scherrer, designed by Stéphane Rolland. 

The figure-hugging look featured swirling brown appliqué that snaked across her torso before cascading into a dramatic tulle mermaid skirt, blending old-Hollywood glamour with modern, barely-there drama.

Jennifer Lawrence also proved that understated can still be daring as she stepped out in a Givenchy gown by Sarah Burton.

The Oscar winner’s look embraced sheer elements and strategic cut, offering a softer take on the night’s risk-it-all trend while still flashing skin and commanding attention on the red carpet.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards have brought together some of the brightest stars in film and television at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday.

Comedian Nikki Glaser will be serving as the master of ceremonies for the second year in a row as she will no doubt have A-listers shaking as she will be bringing her shocking no-holds-barred sense of humor to her hosting duties.

‘Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,’ Glaser, 41, said in a March statement. ‘I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from The White Lotus who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in season 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.’  

When it comes to the nominations it is One Battle After Another who leads the pack with a whopping nine nominations.

The Leonardo DiCaprio-starring epic picked up nods in the film categories including Best Picture, Director and Screenwriter, a Best Actor nod for its lead and Supporting Actor recognitions for Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn.

Meanwhile in the TV categories, Netflix smash hit Adolescence built on its success at the Emmys with nods for all of its stars – Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and 16-year-old Owen Cooper all received nominations alongside a surprise selection for Ashley Walters.

The White Lotus narrowly beat Adolescence with six nods though, most of which came from the acting categories thanks to its all-star cast.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners got seven nods and Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet nabbed five total nods tying its total with that of Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good.

Wicked’s sequel was the surprise snub as it missed out in the Best Musical or Comedy category. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were recognized in the acting categories though.  

Other notable snubs included Sydney Sweeney’s lack of nomination for Christy in the Best Actress (drama) category, with Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love), Tessa Thompson (Hedda) and Julia Roberts (After The Hunt) included alongside surprise star Eva Victor for her performance in the independent US film Sorry, Baby.

Irish actress Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), who is seen as the front-runner, completes the category.

Kathryn Bigelow of Netflix nuclear thriller A House of Dynamite failed to pick up a single nomination as did Bradley Cooper’s Is This Thing On?

Timothee Chalamet is hoping for his first Globes win after four previous nominations and missing out on a tipped win last year for his performance in A Complete Unknown. He earned the Best Actor award at The Critics Choice Awards last week.

This year he is up in the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category for Marty Supreme.
