12 of the Top Red Carpet Trends from This Year’s Golden Globes

Another year, another slew of red carpet trends to discuss. Last night’s 72nd annual Golden Globes was flooded with looks we’re still drooling over a day later. From bright pops of yellow and red to bold design details, these trends not only hint at what we might see throughout the rest of award season, but also what we can expect to see on the street in 2015 (in a more more subtle fashion, of course). Here are 12 style trends we spotted at this year’s award show.

1. Ladies in White: This crisp and clean color was spotted all over the red carpet. While the color can easily look dull or basic, the stars spiced it up with neo-Grecian vibes, dramatic cut-outs and geometric silhouettes. (Photos via Jason Merritt /Getty)

2. Mellow Yellow: Summer is coming. There might still be snow on the ground in some parts of the country, but these soft yellow shades have us in a sunny daze. (Photos via Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty)

3. Ruby Red: All eyes fell on the slew of ladies who royally rocked this crimson color. The shade alone is enough to turn heads, but throw in some bling (like Davis, Williams and Klum all decided to do) and you can count on some permanently fixed gazes.

Style:

4. Glitter and Glam: You know that sparkly dress you usually reserve for New Year’s Eve? Well, bring that baby back out. From Julliane Moore’s ombre ensemble to Emma Stone’s bejeweled top, sparkles and sequins were all over this year’s red carpet. (Photos via Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty)

5. 3D Embellishments: Straying from the herd, these Hollywood beauties added a little something unique to their looks with textured embellishments. From Lupita Nyong’o’s dress, bursting with violet petals to Claire Dane’s extravagantly bejeweled number, this whimsical style was just as brave as those ladies were beautiful.

6. Ruffle-rama: These aren’t the ruffles you wore in elementary school. This year’s award ceremony was flooded with sleek gowns that added just a touch of flirtiness with subtle, structured ruffles. (Photos via Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty)

Shape

7. Structured Silhouette: Heading in a very different direction from the flowy, Grecian looks we often see at award shows, these leading ladies opted for futuristic, structured dresses. Hey, if this is what the future looks like, we’re into it. (Photos via Kevin Winter/Jason Merritt/Getty)

8. Capes Central: We’ve looked into the red carpet crystal ball and we’ve seen a whole lot more capes. This dramatic addition seems to work equally as well on a sleek dress like Jemima Kirke’s or Amal Alamuddin’s as it does on a flashy piece like JLo’s. Side note: Watch out Angelina, JLo’s leg might be the newest limb to take over the internet. (Photos via Frazer Harrison/Jason Merritt/Getty)

9. Plunging Necklines: Necklines were almost non-existent at this year’s show, and maybe that’s not such a bad thing. The ultra (and we mean ultra) low necklines spotted on Kate Hudson and Jessica Chastain were straight-up sexy, while Sienna Miller’s bejewelled dress added a touch of innocent charm.

Accessories

10. Drop Earrings: Forget the basic studs,drop earrings were a definite hit at last night’s event. Whether the hair was swept up or left down, the hanging earring looked just as stunning either way. (Photos via Frazer Harrison/Kevin Winter/Getty)

11. Crystal Bling: The Golden Globes are no place for subtlety when it comes to dresses and apparently, the same goes for accessories. Diamonds, rhinestones and crystals were practically dripping off celebrities throughout the night – and not in small quantities either. These sparkly statement pieces would definitely be a bit much for everyday wear, but this is the red carpet after all.

12. Belts: Whether it was a classic-styled buckle, totally blinged out or had no buckle at all, the waist cinching accessory added a little something extra to these already gorgeous looks, without going too over-the-top.

Girl Scouts Just Gave Us An Official Update Amid Contaminated Cookies Rumor

Numerous rumors about potentially-contaminated Girl Scout cookies have been floating around, and Girl Scouts of the USA is finally addressing them.

Sources reported the presence of toxic metals and glyphosate in the popular cookies and noted that it poses “profound ethical and public health concerns.” Here’s what Girl Scouts had to say.

Scroll on to learn more about what’s going on with the latest Girl Scout cookie contamination news.

Girl Scouts of the USA

The idea that Girl Scout cookies might be contaminated first arose in December 2024 when GMOScience and Moms Across America released a joint-commissioned reporttitled “Danger in the Dough: Unveiling the Toxic Contaminants in Girl Scout Cookies.”

The report found that 100% of the Girl Scout cookie samples they tested were positive for glyphosate and toxic metals and 88% of samples were positive for all 5 toxic metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury), with significant percentages of the samples testing positive for cadmium and lead.

Girl Scouts of the USA

In the report, both groups said that the continual sale of Girl Scout cookies poses “profound ethical and public health concerns,” and slightly called out Girl Scouts of the USA for not allocating more money towards “better ingredients."

The GMOScience and Moms Across America report also cited a lack of government oversight when it comes to food safety and that entities like the FDA and EPA “have not fulfilled their commitment.”

Girl Scouts of the USA

Despite the reports about contamination, Girl Scouts of the USA says Girl Scout Cookies are “safe to consume.” In an official statement, they assured the public that their cookies comply with FDA and EPA food safety standards. They also noted that heavy metals are not purposefully added to their cookies.

Girl Scouts of the USA

Girl Scouts of the USA made sure to note that “environmental contaminants” like heavy metals and glyphosate can occur naturally in soil, though in very small, trace amounts.

The FDA verified this, saying naturally-occurring heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, and mercury are just a “reality about our food supply.”

Girl Scouts of the USA

Girl Scouts of the USA highlighted that their cookie suppliers “continue to ensure the integrity of [their] recipes and the safety of all Girl Scout Cookie products in accordance with federal regulations and Global Food Safety initiative standards.”

Girl Scouts of the USA

The real issue at hand is not just Girl Scout cookies – it’s that our frameworks for food safety have plenty of wiggle room for toxic metals and chemicals to be present in our food.

In fact, it’s become so common that we tend to forget all about it – likely why cookie lovers were up in arms about the contamination news.

Girl Scouts of the USA

GMOScience and Moms Across America echoed this exact sentiment in their report, calling for the development of organic and regenerative farming to eradicate potential contamination altogether.

They also called on Girl Scouts of the USA to play a larger role in “transforming our food and farming system.”

Travis Kelce Just Addressed His "Crazy Decision" Amid Retirement Rumors

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a Super Bowl tough loss on February 9, 2025, and there's one major thing on everyone's mind now — is Travis Kelce retiring? The subject's come up multiple times throughout the 2024-2025 NFL season, but much like his brother Jason the previous year, Travis hasn't given a definitive answer on the matter. Amid everything from Taylor Swift wedding rumors to starring TV roles (anyone else watch Grotequerie?!), the Chiefs tight end definitely has a lot going on right now. Could all this — plus an overall great football season, sans the Super Bowl loss — add up to the end of his NFL career? Here's what we know so far.

Scroll to find out everything we know about if Travis Kelce's retiring.

On February 12, 2025, Travis Kelce opened up about his potential retirement on the New Heights podcast. "I know everybody wants to know whether or not I'm playing next year, and right now, I'm just kicking everything down the road," he said. "I'm not making any crazy decisions."

Travis shared that the Super Bowl loss a "tough pill to swallow" and a "tough reality," but also noted that the Chiefs team is focused on "being there" for each other in the aftermath.

"I'm gonna take some time to figure it out. And, I think I owe it to my teammates that if I do come back, it's a wholehearted decision," he said. "I'm not half-a--ing it, and I'm fully here for them."

During the 2025 Super Bowl, Travis only made four catches, resulting in a gain of 39 yards — his "lowest postseason output since 2019" according to The Athletic. Still, USA Todayreported that he broke Jerry Rice's record of 35 career Super Bowl catches. However, it was pretty clear that even a record-breaking performance wasn't enough to bolster Travis's mood.

The football star didn't hold a larger post-game conference, but he noted that they "haven't played that bad all year" and said that the Chiefs "couldn’t get it going offensively" to a few reporters. He acknowledged, "You don't lose like that without everything going bad," before leaving for the night.

Still, Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes was asked about what comes next for Travis's career. "I'll let Travis make that decision on his own," Patrick said. "He's given so much to this team and to the NFL, and he's been such a joy, not only for me to work with, but for people to watch."

Mahomes notes Travis "still has a lot of football left in him" and that he "always makes plays in the biggest moments." He said, "But I know he still has a love for the game, and he’ll get to spend some time with his family and make that decision on his own."

Patrick reassured everyone, "He knows he’ll come back here with open arms. We love that guy not only for the football player, but for who he is every single day."

Travis made his way to the suite with Taylor and his family after the tough Chiefs loss. It was a stark contrast from his "fight for your right to party" vibes of last year, so we hope we was able to find some comfort among his loved ones. And as for if Travis is actually retiring, we'll definitely keep an eye out for what he says and does next. 👀
