The Golden Globes red carpet made a comeback in 2023 after a two-year hiatus, during which the awards show was scaled down to a streaming-only event with not a host or carpet to be seen.

But in 2024, the 81st Golden Globes are kicking off award season early, with TV and film stars set to take to the carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel at 12:30pm (NZT) on January 8 including Kiwi actress Rose McIver who appears to have made a huge announcement.

The New Zealand born actress first appeared on screens in Power Rangers in 2009 before moving on to bigger projects including Netflix’s “A Christmas Prince” in 2017 and CBS’ biggest hit comedies, “Ghosts”, now she’s revealed her biggest project of all, motherhood.

While McIver isn’t up for any nominations tonight, she has already stolen the show by announcing her pregnancy on the carpet just months after marrying her boyfriend of six years, George Byrne.

Also on the carpet, Margot Robbie giving us her most show stopping Barbie themed look so far. Wearing a hot pink Armani dress with tulle shawl, the Australian actress is continuing her Barbie-core fashion with Super Star Barbie.

The star’s dress comes as no surprise with Barbie dominating pink on the carpet and the Greta Gerwig’s film leading nominations with nine nods, including for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy, as well as Best Actress for Margot Robbie, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling, and Best Original Song for three numbers from the soundtrack.

It’s of course closely followed by Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which scored eight nominations, including Best Picture - Drama and nods for actors Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt.

Succession was the top-nominated television programme with nine nods, including for series stars Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin.

So, as the stars prepare to celebrate their achievements, what are they wearing on the carpet this year?
