Fasten your seatbelts, fashion fans! With some of Hollywood's most fashion-forward stars up for awards this year, it's going to be an eventful season.

And the Golden Globes gets it all started, with stars (and their stylists) marking their territory at one of Hollywood's splashiest events.

Big this year: lots of sparkle and shine.

She didn't wear pink, the favoured colour of Glinda the Good. But Wicked star Grande evoked another Ozian colour – yellow (of the yellow brick road, of course) in Givenchy haute couture.

The gown was in pale silk with a hand-beaded bodice, a vintage gown from what the designer calls the Audrey Hepburn era of Givenchy. She wore a Swarovski choker.

Actor Blanchett looked like an awards statue come to life in a glistening gold gown with a ruched top by Louis Vuitton - that she also wore at the Cannes Film Festival.

Actor-comedian Wong wasn’t easy to miss on the carpet: She wore a cascading gown of bright fire-engine red tulle. The Balenciaga number was accessorized with a satin belt and glamorous black spandex opera gloves, almost up to the shoulder.

Tyler James Williams, of Abbott Elementary, is never safe or boring on the carpet.

He was spotted in a gray pinstripe suit with cropped, double-breasted jacket with dramatic shoulder pads and a bare chest peeking out, over loose trousers.

Glen Powell eschewed the tie and instead channeled casual glamour in an open-necked brown shirt and black velvet jacket, by Giorgio Armani. – AP
