Golden Globes 2025: When Hollywood Meets the Museum of Applied Arts Budapest

Golden Globes 2025: When Hollywood Meets the Museum of Applied Arts Budapest

The stars were out in full force at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, but little did they know their glamorous outfits would soon be paired with… museum artifacts? Yes, you read that right! The Museum of Applied Arts in Hungary has once again outdone itself with its annual tradition of matching celebrity looks to items from its collection, and the results are nothing short of hilarious.

Red Carpet or Museum Exhibition?

Imagine Sharon Stone‘s elegant ensemble being compared to a 2015 hairpin by Flóra Vági. Or Cate Blanchett‘s dazzling dress finding its twin in an early 20th-century table clock. But wait, it gets better! Timothée Chalamet‘s edgy outfit? Apparently, it bears an uncanny resemblance to a 19th-century bed with blue upholstery. Who knew haute couture could be so… domestic?

From Starlets to Artifacts

Emma Stone might be surprised to learn her dress reminded museum staff of Péter Ghyczy’s 1968 egg chair. Zendaya’s show-stopping look? It’s giving 1970s floor lamp realness, according to the museum. And poor Andrew Garfield – his dapper appearance was likened to an 18th-century Venetian prayer book. Talk about a fashion prayer!

The Method to the Madness

The museum’s Instagram post explains their madcap method: “We couldn’t help but notice the Golden Globe’s lavish outfits, but instead of words, let our artifacts do the talking!” Well, if the artifacts could talk, they’d probably be asking for their moment in the spotlight too.

And the Award for Best Museum Comparison Goes To…

While Demi Moore was busy snagging the Best Actress award for her role in “The Substance,” and “Emilia Pérez” was cleaning up with four wins, the real winner here might just be the Museum of Applied Arts. They’ve managed to turn high fashion into high art, or is it the other way around? And they must know a thing or two about fashion based on their latest exhibition called “DRESS CODE: ART DECO“.

In conclusion, whether you’re a fan of red carpet glamour or museum exhibitions, this year’s Golden Globes has something for everyone. Just remember, the next time you’re admiring a celebrity’s outfit, it might just be inspiration for your next home decor project!
