Inside Laura Dern’s Epic Night at the Golden Globes 

If there was any doubt that 2020 is the year of Laura Dern, it was silenced at the Golden Globes. The Hollywood legend—who took home the Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture award for her performance in Marriage Story—was one of the shining stars of last night’s ceremony. She also has a long history with the event. A former Miss Golden Globe, Dern made her first appearance at the show when she was just 14, and in the decades since, she’s racked up an astonishing eight nominations and five wins.

Naturally, Dern knows the ins and outs of getting ready for a big awards show, and her pre-show prep at the Peninsula was fun-filled. Armed with a bounty of Neil Lane jewels to choose from, and a few aromatherapy essentials, Dern got glam while staying calm and cool. With help from stylists Cristina Ehrlich and Kevin Michael Ericson, makeup artist Simone Siegl, and hairstylist Ryan Trygstad, Dern and her team brought together an understated yet elegant total look. By the time she hit the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton in her stunning embroidered Saint Laurent gown, she was ready for everything the night had to offer.

Dern’s night was one for the record books, and she took Vogue along for every moment. Here, she shares an exclusive look into her evening—from backstage run-ins with Little Women co-star Saoirse Ronan, to getting her statuette engraved post-show.
