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.
