In most circles, awards season fashion doesn't truly kick off until the Golden Globes. But in fashion circles, For Your Consideration looks really get started at the annual Governors Awards. Hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, this pre-Oscars event taps A-listers to deliver lifetime achievement prizes to a few special peers—and start their own awards-season style narratives while they're at it.
Some changes to this year's calendar meant the Nov. 17 Governors Awards, hosted at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, was actually the second rendition in 2024. Double-dipping on the event only meant that this year's Oscars contenders could launch their style campaigns early, while general attendees got another chance to flex their black-tie personal style. Mikey Madison's Anora red carpet outfits were sealed as a seasonal stand-out in bright red Prada, while Jennifer Lawrence continued her upscale maternity streak in a skintight, chocolate Bottega Veneta gown. Two stars, Elle Fanning and Saoirse Ronan, proved mint green and turquoise might just usurp black as the most elegant color on the carpet. Then again, Selena Gomez's Ralph Lauren gown offered an equally strong counterpoint.
