Final fitting: Old Hollywood meets modern Versace

Two days before the 2026 Golden Globes, Amanda Seyfried held a final fitting for a custom white Versace gown that blends 1950s Old Hollywood glamour with contemporary design. The strapless sweetheart dress includes diagonal drapery and a dramatic train that can be worn as a stole — a detail Seyfried’s longtime stylist Elizabeth Stewart called “the Amanda” of the look.

Craftsmanship and construction

Versace’s team said the gown took more than 400 hours to make. Seamstresses worked on-site during the final fitting to perfect pleats and the dress’s drape, ensuring every seam sat precisely for Seyfried’s frame. Sarah Goetz Salomon of Versace highlighted the time-intensive nature of couture construction, and Seyfried watched in awe as the final touches were completed.

Accessories and styling

The look was finished with a geometric yellow-gold and diamond-laden Tiffany & Co. necklace, reinforcing the vintage-meets-modern theme. Seyfried noted that garments tailored specifically for her body feel inherently more flattering: “It’s very flattering to have something built for you, but it also becomes more flattering on you because it was built for you.”

Awards context and on-the-red-carpet confidence

Seyfried arrived at the Golden Globes as a double nominee — for best female actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) for The Testament of Ann Lee and for best female actor in a limited series for Long Bright River. Despite the stakes, she dismissed the pressure of winning with a playful confidence: “I don’t need a statue. I already look like one!”

Why the look matters

The gown signals Seyfried’s continued red-carpet collaboration with heritage fashion houses that balance classic silhouettes with modern touches. For audiences and fashion watchers, the 400-hour figure underscores couture’s labor-intensive process and the meticulous craft that goes into high-profile award looks.

Whether or not she won on the night, Seyfried’s Versace moment—built by hand, pleat by pleat—became a talking point of the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet.
