40 of the most breathtakingly beautiful Golden Globes dresses of all time

Awards season has snuck up upon us.

Kicking off a crazy few months of red carpet appearances is the annual Golden Globe Awards, held this Sunday on January 5th.

In celebration of the 77th awards show, we're throwing it back to some of the most gorgeous Golden Globe red carpet looks of all time. From extravagant trains to intricate beading, dramatic bows to slinky cutouts, these designer masterpieces are worth a shoutout.

Amongst our favorites include Dakota Johnson, who at the 2015 show sparkled in a metallic Chanel gown with a thigh-high slit. Cate Blanchett took our breath away in 2014 with a beautiful and sheer black Armani Couture gown with lace and ruffles, while Lupita Nyong'o's Calvin Klein ensemble was made for the red carpet that same year.

Above you'll find the most stunning red carpet looks we've seen. Sunday's award show clearly has some competition.
