With the ever-evolving world of bridal fashion, it’s no surprise that pink is taking on a new role as the new “nude” for bridesmaids. Pink is quickly becoming the new go-to shade for bridesmaids, thanks to its versatility and ability to flatter a variety of skin tones. With the Golden Globes 2023 red carpet being awash with shades of pink it is clear that pink is no longer just reserved for bridesmaids, but has taken its rightful place as a trend in evening wear.

From soft blush tones to rich magenta hues, pink is a favourite among bridal and evening party attires. It’s not only a refreshing change but it’s also a way to add some elegance and glamour to any party. This year’s Golden Globes has served as an inspiration for this new trend, with many celebrities gracing the red carpet with classic and statement shades of pink. 

Timeless Elegance in Classic Pink Looks

You can never go wrong with classic shades of pink. We take inspiration from the timeless elegance of classic pink looks seen on the 2023 Golden Globe red carpet.

Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie brought a touch of elegance to the red carpet in a baby pink gown from Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2022 Haute Couture collection. The intricate design featuring Chantilly lace, silk tulle and a chevron bodice was masterfully crafted with 30,000 elements of embroidery and 750 hours of meticulous artistry. Styled by Kate Young, the gown exuded timeless luxury and refinement. 

Julia Garner

Julia Garner shined on the 2023 Golden Globe red carpet in a light pink Gucci gown with crystal overlay, exuding elegance and femininity with its mermaid silhouette and trendy, barbie and ballet core-inspired shade of pink. Stepping away from her usual dark and bold red carpet choices, Julia Garner chose a more delicate and soft approach to glamour. 

Molly Sims

Making a regal entrance at the 2023 Golden Globes, Molly Sims was a vision in a light pink, caped creation that exuded a sense of elegance and grandeur. The talented actress embraced the monochrome look with finesse, complementing her ensemble with a touch of pink eyeshadow, rosy cheeks and a pink lip, creating a cohesive and striking appearance.

Making a Statement with Bolder Pink Shades

For bridesmaids looking to make a bold statement, the 2023 Golden Globes red carpet offers inspiration in the form of loud and rich shades of pink. 

Elizabeth Debicki

Elizabeth Debicki was a vision of elegance and poise at the 2023 Golden Globe awards, dressed in a stunning Dior flamingo pink strapless gown. The gown, complete with sparkling jewels, exuded a sense of royal grandeur and was a perfect representation of her portrayal of Princess Diana in the Netflix drama The Crown. 

Lucia Aniello

Director Lucia Aniello was a vision in pink at the 2023 Golden Globe awards, turning heads in her striking, head-turning pink dress. The dress featured a flowy, ethereal silhouette that cascaded effortlessly as she walked down the red carpet. Her choice of dress not only showcased her impeccable sense of style but also her bold and daring attitude towards fashion.

Kaley Cuoco

We know it’s not technically pink, but how could we not include Kaley Cuoco’s look? The star of The Flight Attendant was a sight to behold on the red carpet at the 2023 Golden Globe awards, radiating beauty and grace in her flowing purple gown. She chose a lavender floor-length dress that perfectly complemented her radiant pregnancy glow. 

Along with the ‘pink as the new nude’ trend, there is also the ‘mix-matching bridesmaid dresses’ trend that allows for individual style and personal flair to shine. The trend of pink being the new nude for bridesmaid dresses, seen in the Golden Globes 2023, lends itself well to this approach. Allowing bridesmaids to choose a shade of pink that flatters their skin tone and complements their personal style resulting in a cohesive yet unique look, similar to the mix of classic and statement pink pieces seen on the red carpet. 

The Golden Globes 2023 served as a visual inspiration for brides and bridesmaids. The versatility of pink, whether in classic or bold hues, adds a playful pop of colour to weddings, making it a perfect choice for those looking to infuse a touch of individuality and freshness into their special day.
