WWD Adds 2026 Style Awards Honorees, Reveals Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Hosts

WWD has added new recipients to its second annual WWD Style Awards, which will take place Jan. 9.

The awards, which will take place in advance of the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 11, will honor stylist Erin Walsh as Style Maker of the Year, and stylist Jason Bolden as Red Carpet Stylist of the Year.

They join previously announced honorees including Giorgio Armani, who is being posthumously honored with the Red Carpet Visionary Award. George Clooney will accept the award on Armani’s behalf. Demi Moore is being honored as Fashion Icon; Pamela Anderson is being honored as Beauty Icon; Hailey Bieber has been named Style Trailblazer, and Kourtney Kardashian Barker is being honored as Wellness Entrepreneur of the Year, among other recipients.

They join last year’s honorees, who included Tracee Ellis Ross, Carolina Herrera’s Wes Gordon, Anna Sawai and others.

At the Golden Globe Awards themselves, WWD will rejoin the red carpet with a livestream hosted by executive editor, beauty, Jenny B. Fine and style director Alex Badia. Jeannie Mai will reprise her role as a host, which she first performed in 2024, and Haley Kalil will host additional segments.

“Returning to the Golden Globes with my WWD family is an absolute must,” Mai said. “Hosting alongside Alex and Jenny is a masterclass in its own right — they possess an unparalleled eye for the nuances of style and beauty. After the incredible success of last year’s Style Awards, I was hooked; that activation truly honored the architects behind the glamour, and I knew I had to come back for seconds.

“To me, the Globes represent the definitive ‘vibe-shift’ of the season. We aren’t just observing red carpet looks; we are witnessing the birth of the trends that will dominate our culture for the year to come,” Mai continued.

The Style Awards are presented by Amazon Beauty, Donna Karan New York, IHG Hotels & Resorts, and Moët & Chandon. WWD’s Golden Globes red carpet livestream, also presented by Amazon Beauty, will be distributed Jan. 11 on WWD.com, WWD’s Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and X, the Red Carpet Beauty storefront on Amazon.com/redcarpetbeauty, and Amazon Live.
