The Golden Globes has established itself as the kickoff to awards season — and a place for stars to make high-glamour statements.
In the early 2000’s, the carpet was packed with embellished sandals, colorful pumps and more worn by stars including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria. As the decades continued, heels rose to towering heights with neutral tones across pointed pumps, mixed-media platforms and more on Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana and Kate Hudson,.
Today, a mix of heels can be seen across the ceremony, from classic sandals to affordable platform heels — and we’ve analyzed the top styles to appear on the Globes’ carpet over the years.
Below, discover the best pumps, sandals and more from the Golden Globes.
