There’s no denying that the 2016 Golden Globe Awards teemed with style. The red carpet didn’t fall short of sartorial expectations, from opulent, heavily embellished dresses to simple one-hued frocks.

The TV broadcasts didn’t show the numerous after-parties the celebrities hopped into right after the awards show.

Many celebrities did a quick outfit change, with some leaving an even better impression in their after-party dresses than their actual Golden Globes attire.

We hated to see Kate Bosworth out of the stunning sequined gown she wore to the red carpet.

The only thing that consoled us was her after-party outfit consisting of a Dolce & Gabbana strapless tunic dress and matching cropped trousers. Totally unexpected but just as replete with adornment.

The American Idol judge surprised everyone with her modest choice of gown for the red carpet event. That yellow Giambattista Valli gown hid a lot of body parts but still managed to make the singer drip with sexiness.
