Stars at the 2026 Golden Globes kept the celebrations going after the ceremony came to a close, attending different after parties hosted by fellow celebrities or entertainment companies.

The awards show, held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday (January 11), gave viewers plenty to talk about. One Battle After Another emerged as the night’s biggest winner in cinema, while Adolescence dominated the TV categories, with each production taking home four accolades.

After the ceremony, many A-listers changed into more comfortable, or flirtier, outfits to celebrate their wins and mingle with colleagues. 

Several stars embraced the controversial sheer dress trend taking over Hollywood, while others stunned the online fashion police with bold Labubu looks.

Here are 20 celebrity after-party outfits that were considered the worst of the evening.

Amal Clooney

Couple posing in formal attire at a red carpet event featuring worst dressed stars at 2026 Golden Globes after-parties.

The human rights lawyer attended the main event with her husband, who was nominated for Best Male Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in Jay Kelly.

Afterward, the Hollywood power couple showed up to Netflix's Golden Globe afterparty at Spago.

The “reptile green” color of Amal’s Versace dress was not a fan favorite. Additionally, the gown’s shiny material and the safety pins below the chest did little to enhance the look.

“That green dress looks like a sack tied in the middle,” one observer commented.

“She usually gets it right but this time just no,” shared another, while a third said the dress looked like a “green bin bag.”

    The actress, who was nominated for The Diplomat, donned the same Stéphane Rolland halter gown she wore to the main event.

    While black halter gowns are a classic, Keri’s featured a large silver embellishment that was awkwardly placed and ruined the look.

    Jennifer Lopez

    After presenting an award at the ceremony, J-Lo changed into a crystal number for host Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes after party.

    The On the Floor singer donned a strapless silver dress with fringe by Tamara Ralph that gave off “disco ball” vibes. Rather than opting for dainty accessories to balance the look, she wore a statement necklace and a bedazzled clutch.

    “Shoes can make or break an outfit, those platforms are too clunky for the dress. They clash,” one critic wrote.

    “That dress was just not flattering, sorry,” said another.

    The 28-year-old White Lotus star attended Vas J. Morgan’s Golden Globes after party wearing a variation of a major Hollywood trend: the translucent dress.

    Lisa’s see-through maxi dress, courtesy of Enfants Riches Déprimés, featured slightly puffy sleeves, a black bow, and an awkwardly placed belt that failed to impress fashion lovers.

    maybe unpopular opinion, maybe I´m just getting old, but I really don´t like these sheer and see-through dresses. Like, I am sorry but I really don´t want to look at your underwear or naked bottom. Sure, her body looks good....but this looks more like a beach outfit

    There is no after party without the Hilton heiress.

    Though she did not receive any Golden Globes, Paris dressed up like a glittery golden statuette for the celebration.

    Her fairly see-through sequined dress likely would have looked better without the massive silver choker.

    Some fashion enthusiasts said the two-time Golden Globe nominee missed the mark with her V-neck Louis Vuitton maxi dress and $6,400 Petite Malle bag.

    Ana, who presented an award with Chris Pine, also wore a black Louis Vuitton gown for the main ceremony.

    “I'm so tired of nak*y dresses :(“ someone commented on Ana's look.

    The Severance actress donned a red, form fitting gown featuring a ruffled top at Netflix’s after party.

    Zoë presented an award with Dave Franco. Afterward, the actress headed to Vas J. Morgan’s after party in a mini version of the salmon Saint Laurent dress she wore to the ceremony.

    Despite the gray straps and matching heels, the 37-year-old’s lace and satin mini dress looked more like lingerie.

    “Zoë was in such a hurry she forgot to put on her dress. Just walking around in undergarments,” wrote one critic.

    Emma Stone

    Woman in white fuzzy top and textured skirt walking with others, among worst dressed stars at 2026 Golden Globes after-parties.

    The two-time Golden Globe winner was nominated for her role in Bugonia but lost to Rose Byrne.

    For the after party, Emma styled her Louis Vuitton set from the ceremony by layering a fluffy white cardigan over her crop top.

    Many fans sympathized with the actress: by the time you’ve had your 9th Golden Globe nomination, you’ve likely had enough of wearing glamorous looks for Hollywood events.

    Three stars posing at a red carpet event, styled for the worst dressed stars at the 2026 Golden Globes after-parties.

    Leighton attended Netflix’s after party with her husband, Adam Brody, who was nominated for Nobody Wants This.

    The Gossip Girl alum sported the same gown she had chosen for the awards show: a Miu Miu design featuring a bright yellow top and a sequin-embroidered skirt that wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

    “She’s a beautiful woman and I love this silhouette on her but I can’t with the school bus yellow, I’m sorry,” one observer said of the look.

    “What in the 2007 prom is this dress?” echoed another.

    Charli accessorized the look with a pair of brown sunglasses.

    Malin Akerman

    Blonde woman in a white sculptural dress posing on red carpet at Golden Globes after-parties worst dressed stars event.

    Malin is known for Watchmen, Trophy Wife, and more recently, The Hunting Wives.

    White is a tricky color for a structured minidress, as it can easily look like someone attached a wrinkled piece of tissue to your body by wrapping Scotch tape around your waist.

    Because of this, many viewers gave the actress’s look a thumbs-down.

    Nick Mendoza III

    Man at 2026 Golden Globes after-party wearing a white jacket adorned with numerous stuffed toys and colorful sneakers

    Nick was so proud of his Labubu collection that he seemingly wanted to show it off to Hollywood stars. Or perhaps he lost a bet.

    The Abbott Elementary actor and Labu'Tique Shop owner featured at least ten of the trendy, monster-like toys on his after-party suit. He even carried a massive white Labubu as his plus-one.

    Timothy stars in Nobody Wants This, which was nominated for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy.

    The actor opted for a brown jacket, black Western bow tie, and matching cummerbund that seemed more fitting for Halloween than a Golden Globes after party.
