It Took 400 Hours to Make Amanda Seyfried’s Custom Versace Dress for the 2026 Golden Globes

I don t wanna hide the necklace.

Just looking

kind of cool.

Ugh!

Hi Vogue, it s Amanda Seyfried,

this is my last fitting with Versace for the Golden Globes.

[door clicking]

[upbeat music]

Versace Atelier, it s just a dream,

the fit, the couture vibe of it all,

but the drape adds the Amanda quirk.

Amanda is classic and timeless,

but she s just a quirky girl

and she has a quirky sense of fashion,

and the drape is the Amanda to me.

And there are a few houses

that I have always turned to again and again

because I feel comfortable,

but I also feel like they re breaking the mold a little bit.

Versace is one of those houses.

The design of this dress really harks back to

couture from the 50s,

and it also looks very modern, which is just,

that s the fashion dream.

[upbeat music]

[door sliding]

[viewer mumbling]

[upbeat music]

Yes.

I say yes to the dress.

I m gonna get married again.

[Amanda humming a tune]

That s pretty great.

Yeah, you can cover it. Pretty great.

How do you feel?

I feel like a statue.

You look gorgeous.

[Speaker] You look like a statue.

I don t need a statue, I already look like one.

[Speaker] How long have you guys been working together?

Too long. [sighing]

Since 2009, I think.

How many years is that?

cause I m a stylist, I can t do math.

How many years is that?

[Amanda and Elizabeth chuckling]

I didn t know what to expect when I had my first fitting,

I d only really had [camera snapping]

that drawing to go by,

and I didn t even know it was gonna be white.

Honestly, I don t think I ve ever felt so held onto

by a dress before. I know.

There s normally some kind of

feeling of discomfort somewhere with-

The fit is like- With gowns,

but the fit is also, it is like,

I m being hugged by Versace right now.

You put this on and you lit up.

Yeah, well- Like I guess,

you sort of transformed the minute you put it on.

I also don t like understand mathematically

how this is draped this perfectly.

[Elizabeth] That s Versace math right there.

Mm-hmm. It s amazing.

Should we try some necklaces?

I was gonna actually wear Claire s.

[Elizabeth chuckling]

Everything I had from Claire s,

but they were like, Not on the red carpet.

[upbeat music]

It was a dream for us to bring Versace

and Tiffany together,

both houses have these really great histories.

There s so much we can do with this drape too.

Like look,

[footsteps tapping]

we can do that.

Maybe two much. First instincts-

But it s maybe beautiful. Is one or the other-

Okay, I m just playing.

Here s the thing though. I m just playing.

No, absolutely not. Sorry.

But maybe. Incorrect.

Stunning, totally get it.

I don t wanna hide the necklace.

Just looking

kind of cool.

[Amanda and Elizabeth chuckling]

Now I kind of wanna go back to the other necklace.

No, this one is amazing! No, no, no, no, no, wait.

That big one. Okay, all right, let s look.

I think I like it cause it s warmer.

I think we should do this one. It has more gold,

which is really, really nice.

I think the part of this look that feels really me

is the material feels like it was made for me today.

And that s I think kind of a rare feeling.

It s hard for things to really feel like

they re part of you.

When the fit is this perfect,

it really is nothing has ever been this perfect.

There s nothing like being uncomfortable

or feeling like your dress is falling off,

falling apart-

That s never- As you wear it.

Happened before. It s never happened

to me before. [camera snapping]

Never. [camera snapping]

[Amanda chuckling]

[Elizabeth] I ll kill you. [chuckling]

The magic of archival pieces,

[Elizabeth chuckling] sometimes they just don t,

they aren t in it for the long one.

[Elizabeth and Amanda chuckling]

Maybe once an archival dress fell apart in the carpet,

maybe once.

[upbeat music]

It s very flattering to have something built for you,

but it s also becomes more flattering on you

because it s built for you.

My body has changed so much in my 30s

through two pregnancies.

And with a dress like this,

I care less about what my body is doing and how it looks.

I feel more of the freedom

that I have mentally to not worry about it as much

and just enjoy the fact

that I m wearing something so beautiful.

A lot, of course, it s,

they tend to feel claustrophobic,

and it looks good, but this doesn t,

and it still looks good,

so I realize now, does it have to hurt?

Yeah. I don t know.

Oh, no- I don t think it does.

It shouldn t hurt at all. Yeah.

There is what you see,

but there is all the work inside as well,

and this is how she feels so comfortable in it

because it s like a dress inside the dress.

It took around 400 hours to be made.

[upbeat music]

My first Golden Globes was a silver

Stella McCartney dress.

My hair was like swept back,

and it was in 2009 with Mamma Mia!

It was really fun.

[gentle music]

It is kind of electric at these events

because it is all pretty positive,

and I think that s just hard to find

when it comes to like recognition

and the impact of of the movie that you re making,

your project and your role.

Every project I do is important.

Not all of them are so life-altering

as Ann Lee was for me,

and to be recognized for it is great.

[gentle music]

When you talk about working moms,

I just picture my kids faces,

and there s a lot of guilt that comes with being a parent,

and I think that is, it s not helpful,

but it s important to recognize that you re feeling it,

and then to be able to look at that, and maybe let it go.

We can do many things at once,

many things can be true at once like inhumanity,

and I think in our very short lives,

if we re able to be doing what we love to do,

I think we need to continue to do it

cause our kids need to see us happy.

The balance for me is

just letting my kids know that I m sad,

that I m not gonna be with them,

but that I m really happy with my job,

and I m lucky to get do it every day.

So that s the balance I strike at home,

but within myself I m still trying to learn.

[upbeat music]

I think in terms of this year

getting ready with Mona, [camera snapping]

having spent so much time with her creating this,

what I think is a bold, beautiful masterpiece,

[camera snapping] I think the fact

that we ve gone through [camera snapping]

all of it together, and then get to

continue to spend time with each other

and celebrate by being together

before these big public moments is nice.

[upbeat music]

With a challenging career

and continuing to tackle new things is always gonna be

what keeps me alive.

It s so insane to me that we got to make this movie,

and I think that my favorite part is the fact

that we got to prove again

why we need to continue to talk about women in history,

and women that are

picking up the flag and continuing to raise it.

It is necessary.

At this point, it is necessary.
