The 2025 Golden Globes showcased the evolution of the red carpet into a platform for showcasing runway-inspired looks, often in customized adaptations rather than full ensembles. Felicity Jones and Angelina Jolie wore striking pieces from Prada and McQueen respectively, sparking a discussion about the potential of embracing the full runway vision.
As any editorial stylists out there will know – and if you aren’t one, now you do! – full-look policies are kind of a thing in fashion. When you request a piece from a brand for a shoot, they’ll often only lend it on the condition that it’s photographed in the same styled context as it was first seen on the runway.

And while I can’t quite say that I was left wanting by the looks, it did leave me thinking about the potential that could have been unlocked had either woman opted to sport the full look as seen on the runway. In the case of the Prada dress, it was originally styled under a rubber-duck-hued cagoule – “the sort that, if they weren’t Prada you’d imagine came folded into a pocket-sized pouch”, as I described it in an earlier piece – intended as a protest against algorithmic dressing and a celebration of “human intervention, invention and choice”, said Miuccia Prada and Raf Simon
