Lady Gaga, Janelle Monáe and Kiki Layne create a stir on the 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards colourful red carpet

The 76th Annual Golden Globe Awards kicked off this year's awards season on Sunday 6 January at the the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Hosted by Killing Eve lead actress Sandra Oh and US actor Andy Samberg, this year's ceremony had a more light-hearted and colourful energy about it. This is in contrast to 2018's necessary and poignant #MeToo movement that saw many stars showing up to the red carpet in black.

Last night, award winners including Lady Gaga, Regina King and Sandra Oh all made sure they don't go unnoticed on the red carpet, giving us these statement gowns worthy of their own standing ovations:

Lady Gaga 

Did Lady Gaga pay homage to Judy Garland's 1954 A Star Is Born ball gown or was it pure coincidence that she opted for a very similar 'shallow blue' custom Valentino Couture gown? We think it may have been the former and she absolutely knocked it out the park and stole the red carpet.
