Kelsey Merritt turned heads at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday evening, radiating timeless elegance in a champagne hue satin gown by Cong Tri. The plunging neckline and asymmetrical draping of the silky ensemble accentuated her statuesque frame, making the Filipina-American model look every bit the ethereal goddess. The delicate, figure-hugging gown was elevated with a sparkling long Tiffany & Co. necklace that draped across the Los Angeles native’s décolletage, adding just the right amount of glitz to the minimalist yet glamorous look.

The 28-year-old’s glam team nailed the soft, romantic aesthetic. Makeup artist Leah Darcy Pike gave her a luminous, natural glow with dewy skin, terracotta blush, perfectly feathered brows and subtle smoky eyes paired with a glossy pinky nude lip. Hairstylist Ruslan Nureev kept things sleek and sophisticated, styling Merritt’s dark locks into a chic, slicked-back bun that kept the focus on her red carpet-ready ensemble.

Stylist Maeve Reilly completed the outfit with understated diamond earrings and a single silver bangle, allowing the breathtaking slim-fitting gown and Merritt‘s slim, sculpted figure and beauty to remain the star of the show.

The Golden Globes, one of Hollywood’s most prestigious award ceremonies, celebrates excellence in film and television. Known for its glamorous red carpet, the event is often a showcase of high fashion and beauty trends and Merritt made sure to leave a lasting impression with her dreamy, goddess-like look. She was invited to the Golden Globes as an ambassador for Moët & Chandon, the official champagne of the prestigious award ceremony on Jan. 5.

“When the final touches to a perfect red carpet look are complete. With a glass of Moët & Chandon in hand, our guests stepped into an evening of style and excitement —where every toast was a celebration of the night to come,” the brand wrote on Instagram, accompanying a pic of Merritt, actress Alexandra Daddario and content creator and entrepreneur Lilly Singh.
