When the glitterati wanted to party after the 2026 Golden Globes, it looked like some of them decided to cut their stylists loose before cutting loose. Ahead of the awards show, viewers had to endure one sartorial battle after another as celebrities dutifully marched down the red carpet in outfits that failed to win the night, unlike the Leonardo DiCaprio movie “One Battle After Another.” There were some surprising names among the worst-dressed stars at the Golden Globes ceremony, and the list of style stumbles only grew after attendees swapped their gowns and tuxes for their afterparty outfits.

Amal Clooney made an appearance at Netflix’s Golden Globe afterparty at Spago in a striking green minidress reminiscent of a cartoon Frankenstein, complete with safety pins. The dress’s shiny material evoked memories of “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,” making it feel outdated and more suited for a fictional character than a distinguished human rights lawyer.

Timothy Simons seemed to take a cue from the title of his Netflix show, “Nobody Wants This,” when he chose his outfit. His brown almost-duster-length jacket, paired with a black Western bow tie and cummerbund, seemed straight out of a potential sequel to the much-criticized 1999 film “Wild Wild West.” Given Will Smith’s own disdain for the movie, Simons won’t be galloping off into that sunset anytime soon.

If a biker babe decided to hack off the bottom half of her best black motosuit and replace it with bits of blown-out tire, it might look like the Balenciaga minidress Golden Globe nominee Tessa Thompson wore to the Netflix bash. Her bizarre look was giving blacktop ballerina with that shredded tire tread tutu, and instead of “Black Swan” toe shoes, she completed her ensemble with a pair of heels that made it look like she had just danced through an unfortunate murder of roadkill crows.

Timothy Simons’ stylist must have said the title of his Netflix show when handing him this outfit: “Nobody Wants This.” With the brown almost-duster-length jacket, black Western bow tie, and matching cummerbund, his ensemble would look right at home in a sequel to the campy, critically panned 1999 movie “Wild Wild West.” But considering that Will Smith considers the sci-fi Western his worst film, Simons won’t be saddling up and getting wicki-wicki-wild anytime soon.

Like Timothy Simons, Keri Russell didn’t change out of her Golden Globes outfit for the Netflix afterparty, but perhaps she should have. We won’t be diplomatic here: “The Diplomat” star’s black Stéphane Rolland halter gown had a slightly unnerving quality. The lone silver embellishment on the dress was shaped like an unblinking eye staring from her torso, and it just needed something else to save it from feeling so strange. Perhaps it would have worked better as part of a belt?

It had to smart when “Smartless” co-host Will Arnett missed out on a Golden Globe in the best podcast category. Worse yet, he lost to his ex Amy Poehler, and he had a yellow stain running down the front of his white shirt. It’s possible the garment was dingy and in need of a thorough soaking in some oxygen bleach, but perhaps someone at the Netflix party had a stain stick on them that would have done the trick. This is what happens when you start a podcast and forget that sometimes people can see you.

Sorry, ladies, but if you wear a white structured minidress with a lot of folds or layers, there’s just no helping it; you’re going to look like you have a giant wadded-up tissue affixed to your body. At least Malin Akerman didn’t suffer from the same problem as Will Arnett, as the only thing worse than looking like you’re wearing a huge tissue is looking like you’re wearing a huge tissue that’s been used by a cold sufferer.
