Award season brings viral moments, laughter, fun, and above all, inspiration. The looks we see on the red carpet aren’t meant to be copied directly; instead, they’re meant to inspire. This year, the looks we saw at the Golden Globe Awards felt especially wearable and adaptable to everyday style. Next Gen Latinas are all about taking the high-glam energy and translating it into everyday confianza.
Award season isn’t only about best-dressed moments, it’s also about identifying trends we genuinely love and finding ways to wear them in real life. From the office to school, date night, or any occasion in between, these looks prove that red carpet style can live beyond the awards.
Read on to discover the trends that caught our attention and how we’re using the best of Prime Benefits to recreate them.
Trend 1: Sleek Hair & Statement Accessories
We saw plenty of clean, sleek, pulled-back hairstyles at the Golden Globes. This look allows accessories to take center stage with minimal effort.
How we’re wearing it daily:
We’re opting for slicked-back buns or ponytails for all occasions in life. From workdays to date nights to special events. This hairstyle proves you don’t need to spend hours on your hair to feel confident and put together. Pair a sleek ponytail with bold, statement earrings to instantly elevate the look. Simple doesn’t have to be boring. Try the Briogeo Style+Treat Sleek Stick to tame flyaways and slick back hair for a frizz-free look.
Trend 2: Green Takes the Spotlight
Green was undeniably the color of the night, appearing in a range of shades, from emerald to forest green. Tessa Thompson, in particular, left us speechless in her green Balenciaga gown. The fitted, luminous strapless silhouette hugged the body beautifully, with textured fabric, whether sequined or beaded, and a subtle train that gently grazed the floor. She left us absolutely speechless in this stunning look.
How we’re styling it IRL:
Green works across all skin tones and every season. We’re incorporating it however we can, through dresses for special occasions, matching sets, athleisure looks, or accessories. We’re officially on board, green is a timeless color that keeps on giving.
Trend 3: Minimal Glam with Maximum Presence
Another standout trend that we noticed was fresh skin paired with soft, intentional makeup. The glam enhanced each look without overpowering it, signaling a shift toward the idea that “less is more” or even, “less is better.” Natural beauty truly took the spotlight.
How we’re recreating it:
It all starts with healthy skin. We’re prioritizing skincare, first routines that focus on creating a clean, radiant base. Try the Youth to the People Superfood Facial Cleanser for glowing skin. From there, we choose one or two focal points, lashes, brows, or lips, to elevate the look without going overboard. This everyday glam that works for any occasion, at any time of day.
Trend 4: Monochrome Sets & Texture Play
Emma Stone gave us major inspiration in her custom Louis Vuitton two-piece set. From the soft monochrome yellow palette to the mix of textures, the look embodied modern, sculptural, and quiet luxury.
How we’re wearing it daily:
We’re gravitating toward two-piece sets for effortless, polished outfits. Mixing textures, like knits, satin, or subtle shimmer, adds dimension without extra effort. Monochrome dressing is the ultimate quick fix to looking elevated and put together, especially when time is limited.
Trend 5: The Return of the Statement Necklace
The red carpet delivered plenty of moments where jewelry took center stage. From bold earrings to statement necklaces, these accessories felt nostalgic yet reimagined. Adding statement jewelry is instantly impactful and enhances any look.
How we’re styling it IRL:
We’re pairing bold necklaces with minimal outfits to let accessories have their moment. This year, we’re restyling the pieces we already own by using statement jewelry to refresh our looks. It’s the easiest way to turn everyday basics into elevated outfits.
