Our favourite magazines and newspapers are flooded with what the A-list celebrities wore on the red carpet of the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, but what about what they chose to smell like?
To create an A-list celebrity impact, consideration doesn’t stop at make-up, beauty, hair and gowns when it comes to glamour – scents to reflect the mood of the moment and your personality matter just as much.
So we’ve done our research into what fragrances the top Golden Globes celebrities favour that we hope will inspire your perfume choice in 2025!
One of the most talked about celebrities at the Golden Globes was Ariana Grande and this is an easy one – as Ariana has her own brand of perfumes that we stock in abundance here at Perfume Direct.
Ariana’s branded fragrance collection includes her first fragrance ‘Ari’ Eau de Parfum Women's Perfume Spray. A luscious, sexy fragrance opening with sparkling fruity notes, it’s perfect for the glamour of red-carpet appearances. This heavenly EDP is inspired by the sweet scent of Ariana's signature perfume and is perfect for everyday wear.
The collection also includes Moonlight, Sweet Like Candy and God Is A Woman – so perhaps Ariana chose to adopt the trend of fragrance layering using a selection of her signature scents to create something unique for this special 2025 occasion!

Zendaya, who also featured heavily in the Golden Globes’ round ups, is famed for her love of Idôle by Lancôme - as the official face of the fragrance from the launch in 2019. According to TikTok fans she's also a big fan of floral scents with fruity undercurrents like Giorgio Armani's Emporio Armani Diamonds and Juicy Couture's Couture Couture, but it’s Idôle that we think is an award-winning scent that people forever comment “wow – what are you wearing it’s gorgeous.” However, don’t just take our word for it – try it for yourself (or gift a loved one) – we have a wide selection on our site from Idôle classic to lighter, floral versions.

At the Golden Globes, Demi Moore, winner for best actress in a musical or comedy, wore a metallic champagne silk gown by Giorgio Armani Privè – so she may have chosen to complement Armani with fragrances by the designer brand such as Armani My Way or Si. Armani fragrances offer something for all ages, so if you’ve watched The Substance, in her award winning role, you’ll know that whatever age you are there’s an Armani fragrance for all.

Meanwhile Zoe Saldana stunned in a dark chocolate sequin look by Saint Laurent – with YSL famed for its top seller Black Opium this would make the perfect pairing to her dramatic and contemporary look.

So why not take inspiration from Hollywood’s brightest and treat yourself to a fragrance that makes you feel amazing? It doesn’t have to be red-carpet-worthy to transform your everyday moments into something extraordinary.
