Jennifer Lopez didn’t stop delivering fashion drama when the Golden Globes ceremony ended. If anything, the real statement came later — long after the awards were handed out and the cameras on the main carpet started to fade.
After leaving the Beverly Hilton following the 2026 Golden Globes, Lopez disappeared briefly, only to reemerge transformed. The sheer vintage gown that dominated early headlines was gone. In its place was a look designed not for polite applause, but for movement, music, and attention.
For Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes afterparty, Lopez stepped out in a strapless corset dress by Tamara Ralph. The fully embellished creation shimmered with every step, covered in sequins and fluid fringe that caught the light as she walked. It was the kind of dress that demanded motion, clearly built for dancing rather than standing frozen for photos.
Delicate, meticulous beadwork enveloped the gown’s sculpted shape, while a daring slit up the back injected a sense of movement and allure. Lopez finished the look with nude slingback platform heels by Elie Saab, boosting both her stature and the overall drama. A striking light-pink statement necklace stood out against the warm gold hues, making sure every element commanded attention.
She finished the outfit with a crystal-covered clutch and wore her hair down in loose, flowing curls — a deliberate contrast to the sleek updo she had worn earlier in the evening. The shift felt intentional, signaling that this moment belonged to the night rather than the ceremony.
Earlier in the evening, Lopez made a striking entrance at the Golden Globes in a barely-there vintage Jean Louis Scherrer haute couture creation designed by Stéphane Rolland. The nude-toned dress was drenched in glistening crystal embroidery, sculpting her figure before cascading into a lavish mermaid train of soft, billowing tulle. She elevated the look with dazzling diamond earrings, a richly embellished brown clutch, statement pieces by Sabyasachi, and a sleek, sculptural updo crafted by her longtime hairstylist, Chris Appleton.
The archival gown came straight from her own collection, sourced through LILY et Cie, and quickly earned praise for its craftsmanship. The boutique later described the look as couture at its highest level, highlighting the hand-applied lace, stones, and hundreds of yards of silk tulle that turned the dress into a second skin.
The night also marked Lopez’s return to the Golden Globes after a year of personal change. Her last appearance at the event was in 2024 alongside Ben Affleck. After their early-2000s engagement, marriage in 2022, separation in spring 2024, and finalized divorce in January 2025, this appearance carried quiet significance.
Despite the shifts in her private life, Lopez appears focused and steady. She has spoken recently about prioritizing her family and career, sharing that her children remain her biggest supporters — proud, but more interested in her being home for dinner than chasing headlines.
From sheer vintage couture to a corseted afterparty showstopper, Jennifer Lopez didn’t just attend the Golden Globes. She controlled the entire arc of the night — and proved once again that her fashion moments don’t end when the official carpet does.
