Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence made a striking and rare return to the awards circuit on Sunday night, attending the 2026 Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton alongside her husband, Cooke Maroney. The 35-year-old actress commanded attention on the red carpet in a breathtakingly daring sheer gown, marking her boldest fashion statement in nearly a decade.
A Daring Fashion Statement
The see-through 'naked dress', a custom creation by Givenchy's Sarah Burton, was meticulously embroidered with delicate pink, ivory, and green flowers. The artful placement of the floral embroidery provided just enough coverage, while a matching satin padded cape was slung across her back. The mesh base of the gown featured strategic cut-outs, and Lawrence elongated her silhouette with a pair of vertiginous nude heels, completing the look with a new fringe that framed her features.
Her husband, 41-year-old art gallery director Cooke Maroney, looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo as he accompanied her and sat by her side throughout the evening. Lawrence later joked with Entertainment Tonight about her plans for the after-parties, quipping, 'I'm going to hang. I'm naked, I might as well.' She also revealed her two young sons would have preferred her to stay home, saying, 'They would prefer I not be here.'
Behind the Scenes: Motherhood and New Role
The appearance comes as Lawrence promotes her latest film, 'Die My Love', in which she stars opposite Robert Pattinson. She plays Grace, a new mother struggling with postpartum depression—a role the actress has said she connected with deeply due to her own experiences. Lawrence is a mother to two sons: Cy, born in February 2022, and a younger boy born in early 2025.
In a November interview with People, she shared, 'I didn't really end up having really bad postpartum [anxiety] until my second [baby]... I think that just added another layer.' She reflected on how motherhood informed her performance, noting the understanding of 'what a tiny person needs' was invaluable.
The 2026 Golden Globes Winners
While Lawrence's fashion was a major talking point, the night also celebrated cinematic and television achievements. The big winner in film was 'One Battle After Another', directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, which took home four awards including Best Picture – Comedy or Musical. However, it will face stiff competition from 'Hamnet', directed by Chloé Zhao, which won Best Picture – Drama.
In the acting categories, Timothée Chalamet solidified his awards season momentum, winning Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for 'Marty Supreme'. Wagner Moura (Best Actor – Drama) and Jessie Buckley (Best Actress – Drama) were among the other notable film winners.
On the television side, key victories included:
- Best TV Series – Drama: 'The Pitt'
- Best TV Series – Musical or Comedy: 'The Studio'
- Best Limited Series: 'Adolescence'
The ceremony marked Lawrence's most audacious red carpet look since the 2017 London premiere of 'Mother', proving the Oscar-winner hasn't lost her talent for making a unforgettable entrance.
