Stars returned to looks in colour on Golden Globes carpet

Fashion returned to the Golden Globes on Sunday in shades of green, red, yellow and sparkly gold after last year's show of #MeToo solidarity that turned the carpet black.

And then there was Lady Gaga, a work of baby blue from head to toe.

Gaga, always fearless fashion-wise, went for volume in blue couture Valentino with a drop-dead gorgeous Tiffany diamond necklace, while other celebrities decided on Old Hollywood silhouettes.

The evening's co-host and a winner herself, Sandra Oh, led things off in an Old Hollywood bob, styled to one side, and red lip. Her gown had an asymmetrical neckline as she posed with her evening's hosting partner, Andy Samberg, and a couple of her Killing Eve co-stars.
