If you struggled to get back into your office-ready kit today, spare a thought for the stars and stylists of Hollywood, who have had to spruce up quick for the 81st Golden Globes taking place in Beverly Hills.
The Globes, which are the first major red carpet event of 2024, are generally thought to be a more relaxed affair than the Oscars. The awards have had a mixed past (in 2021, the whole shindig was cancelled when the lack of diversity on the judging panel was exposed), but that seems to have been brushed under the scarlet carpet.

Hunter Schafer: Someone shut that door, there's a terrible draft in here. W Magazine described Schafer's look as "a glamour cobweb", which is certainly one way of looking at it.

No sartorial shenanigans from Harrison Ford who plays it straight in classic tux. Fun fact: 81-year-old Ford has been nominated five times for a Golden Globe. In 2002, he finally scored the Cecil B. deMille Award for 'outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment'.

Only Murders In The Building has five nominations (for stars Selena Gomez, Meryl Streep, Martin Short and Steve Martin, as well as for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy). It'll be a crime if at least one of them doesn't come off!
