#4 Justine Lupe
Justin Lupe donned a breathtaking peach-colored creation from the Arman Privé Fall/Winter 2021 Couture collection.
The ensemble featured a completely sheer fabric that leaned into a “nipple-freeing” aesthetic. It accented a strapless neckline and a figure-hugging silhouette that cascaded into a floor-grazing column skirt.
The Nobody Wants This star paired the see-through tiered fabric and glittery fringe ensemble with soft beachy waves and rosy glam.
Her outfit sparked a major debate given the daring level of transparency. While one admirer described her look as “elegant,” critics argued the provocative nature of the piece.
"The top should have a shell under it; see-through takes away from the gown.”

#5 Jenna Ortega
Jenna Ortega glamored into a gothic-chic aesthetic at the awards, donning a provocative black Dilara Findikoglu gown that paid a racy homage to her Wednesday character.
Her dress featured a high-neck, bib-style top with beaded fringe and shoulder tassels that swung as she moved.
However, the most daring showstopper was the massive torso cutouts that exposed nearly her entire midriff, connected only by a thin strip of fabric leading to a low-rise velvet skirt.
The back was even more revealing, featuring a “whale tail” strap detail.
Fans of her signature style supported her appearance: “She's literally never had a bad red carpet look, she's always killing it.”
But critics expressed fatigue over her continued macabre theme. "I’m sick of this look on her," one critic argued. "We get it, you play on a TV show."

Jennifer Lawrence made a jaw-dropping entrance at the 83rd Golden Globes, opting for a daringly sheer, full-length Givenchy gown designed by Sarah Burton.
