Retro Hair Takes Center Stage at the 2026 Golden Globes Red Carpet

Beauty editors frame the throwback looks as early signals for the year’s trends.

Overview

  • Voluminous bobs and Old Hollywood waves dominated, kicked off by Ayo Edebiri’s bouffant bob as the Chanel ambassador paired the look with a Chanel gown.
  • Selena Gomez leaned into a deeply side-parted, sculpted bob with a satiny burgundy lip, with hair by Renato Campora for Joico and Parfums de Marly and makeup by Hung Vanngo for Rare Beauty.
  • Amanda Seyfried wore a slicked-back style deliberately channeling 1930s glamour, according to hairstylist Renato Campora, who used Parfums de Marly products.
  • Ariana Grande returned to brunette courtesy of colorist Alyx Liu, kept her high ponytail, and wore a soft brown smoky eye using a new R.e.m. Beauty palette set to launch tomorrow.
  • Coverage also highlighted a Y2K tendril revival and textured updos, with Jenna Ortega’s crimped, low style and Tessa Thompson’s ultra-glossy, waist-grazing waves standing out.
