The 80th Golden Globe Awards just wrapped, and our favorite celebs didn’t disappoint on tonight’s red carpet. We’ve enjoyed an array of dazzling jewelry, stunning suits and sparkly ensembles as far as the eye can see. (It’s enough to make you forget that the Hollywood Foreign Press has been plagued with allegations of ethics violations and racism and chose not to air the awards ceremony last year.)

This year, however, the livestream was back — and there were a few standout red-carpet trends that caught our eye. Sequins burst out of every corner, slinky 90s looks made a comeback in a big way, women sported powerful suits, 80s-inspired sculptural dresses were everywhere and dramatic black dresses adorned with lace and sexy necklines were in plentiful supply.

Below, we’ve rounded up a few wearable looks inspired by each of these highly-coveted trends. They’re perfect for your next cocktail party, a night out with friends, weddings and more. Take a look to see if you spot some of your faves and pick up a gown or two for yourself.

Sequins

Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, Jennifer Coolidge, Abby Elliott, Heidi Klum, Laverne Cox, Margot Robbie and so many more stars were actually glittering on the red carpet. While not exactly an everyday look, having a sequin or two on hand is always a good idea.
