We're Saving a Spot on Our Best Dressed List For These 23 Golden Globes Nominees

The 2016 Golden Globes will take place this Sunday, but as far as we're concerned, the women on this list are already winning. With red carpet résumés that rival their acting careers, they've delivered countless looks that solidified their spots on our best dressed list long ago. Now all that's left to do is watch.

So as award season kicks off, this stylish set is the one we'll be paying attention to, eagerly awaiting appearances from pros like Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis, and Rooney Mara. And, sure, their fashion senses may be as varied as their performances, but that only makes them more fun to spot. Sit back and get ready for the most glamorous time of the year as we celebrate the 2016 nominees the best way we know how: with a tribute to their style.

Her chilling performance as House of Cards' Claire Underwood rivals her performance on the red carpet. In every case, she commands attention with clean lines and understated colors — like the boss she is on screen, she would never let the dress wear her in real life, either.

Her small-screen turn in Scream Queens is no small thing — and we're betting her Golden Globes look won't be either. With a penchant for body-skimming, albeit sophisticated, silhouettes, we have a hunch that Jamie's gown just might be killer.

Uzo may be Crazy Eyes to Orange Is the New Black fans everywhere, but in our eyes, she's also coming into her own as a red carpet star. There's no pattern or silhouette this actress can't pull off — and watching her off screen is just about as addictive as the show itself.
