Most of the 2021 Golden Globes Awards guests were present through Zoom rather than walking the famous red carpet, but they were still dressed up to the nines.

Golden Globes time during the COVID-19 pandemic meant that most of the guests didn't get to do their strut down the red carpet in their designer creations to the delight of the fashion critics and fans.

But through the magic of technology, we still had the opportunity to enjoy the 2021 celebrity fashion parade, the good, the fairly bad, and the downright ugly. Some dazzled with style and elegance, while others made some unfortunate fashion choices.

While some hailed Pierpaolo Piccioli's structured green creation for Valentino as innovative and daring, others derided it as making the striking actress look like a neon green lampshade. Erivo accessorized with dramatic silver platform shoes.

King was the queen of the night in a gown by Louis Vuitton, bedazzled with over 40,000 sequins and sparkles.

TINA FEY

Actress, author, and comedian Tina Fey was hosting the New York segment of the Golden Globes for which she flaunted several outfits. One of Fey's outfits, a daring black mini worn with dark stockings and high heels garnered some approval, but her second outfit didn't.

Fey wore a gold lamé tailored jacket that seemed strained across her waist, embellished with red white and black stripes at the cuffs. She matched the glitzy jacket with ankle-length black satin pants and a black top. Critics didn't consider it Fey's best look.

"The Last O.G." actress completed her sophisticated look with dramatic gold hoop earrings and Jimmy Choo shoes. The only thing that robbed her of perfection was a wardrobe fail: when she stood with the light behind her, her dress was transparent.
