After 148 days of the Hollywood shutdown, the 2024 Golden Globes kicked off award season and signaled the return of sumptuous, red carpet fashion. This year's event, in particular, was a special one, as several of our favorite celebrities decided to opt for wedding-worthy ensembles that brides and grooms can look to for inspiration while planning their big day. (After all, isn't a wedding just an intimate red carpet event?)
Actors like Elle Fanning, Cailee Spaeny, and Aminah Nieves wore feminine and flirty dresses that would be perfect for a formal springtime affair, while Emma Stone, Keri Russell, and America Ferrera chose bold and sexy bridal-adjacent gowns that are at once modern and chic. Julia Schlaepfer even sported an actual wedding dress designed by Danielle Frankel! Simply put, the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet served as the ultimate wedding fashion destination for brides of all styles.
Ahead, here are the top wedding-worthy looks from the 81st Golden Globe Awards.

Natasha Lyonne's Schiaparelli Haute Couture getup, which featured tiered layers of fringe and a pointed neckline, is a look that will live rent-free in our minds for the next few months. While it makes a daring statement, it's still practical enough to wear as a second (or third) bridal gown.
