Glenn Close graced the red carpet at the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday. As one of the night’s presenters, the actress opted for an ensemble by Balmain that showcased the brand’s signature craftsmanship and structured design.
Styled by Jessica Paster, whose clients include Quinta Brunson and Emily Blunt, Close wore the “Love Letter” Embroidery Dress, a striking piece by creative director Olivier Rousteing for the house’s Resort 2025 Collection. The gown features a round neckline and a slim silhouette. Its structured shoulders and attached opera gloves, a hallmark of Balmain’s tailoring, added a bold element to the look. The black fabric of the dress was adorned with intricate embroidery inspired by handwritten letters.
