Kathy Bates Turns Heads on 2025 Golden Globes Red Carpet 4 Months After Debuting 100-Lb. Weight Loss

Kathy Bates is proving why she is a timeless beauty at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.

Nominated for best performance by a female actor in a television series drama for her work on Matlock, Bates, 76, looked radiant as ever and debuted a trendy new look at Sunday's ceremony where she hit the carpet in chic trousers and sneakers!

Bates turned heads in a beautifully beaded dinner jacket that cinched at her waist teamed with black tuxedo pants and sparkling evening bag. She styled her silver tresses in retro half-up style with lots of bounce. And her choice of footwear also had People Style Editors talking (it looks like she's wearing Sneex — a sneaker-heel hybrid from Spanx founder Sara Blakely.)

Receiving nominations in the same category as Bates are Emma D’Arcy (House of the Dragon), Maya Erskine (Mr. and Mrs. Smith), Keira Knightley (Black Doves), Keri Russell (The Diplomat), and Anna Sawai (Shōgun) this year.

Bates's unforgettable red carpet appearance comes after she showed off her 100-lb. weight loss, which she accomplished over seven years, at the 2024 Emmys on Sept. 15.

The Office alum wore a deep purple gown with black beading from Giorgio Armani, a black purse, and pointed heels for the event.

Speaking about her experience finding her outfit of the night, she told PEOPLE that she and her friend who had joined her for the fitting "were in tears because everything I came out in just looked exquisite."

Because of her confidence in the dress, she told PEOPLE that she "just felt so relaxed and ready" for the event.

"I knew I felt great, and I looked great. We had a wonderful little skit with Antony [Starr] and Giancarlo [Esposito]. It was a lovely night. That evening was really special," she said.

Bates has been very open about her weight loss journey.

She shared with PEOPLE that she first lost 80 lbs. due to lifestyle and diet changes. She then lost another 20 lbs. on Ozempic.

Bates said that she was inspired to get serious about her health when she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around 2017.

“There's been a lot of talk that I just was able to do this because of Ozempic. But I have to impress upon people out there that this was hard work for me, especially during the pandemic," she said. "It's very hard to say you’ve had enough."

The actress is not a newcomer to the Golden Globes. She won her first Golden Globe at the 1991 ceremony for best performance by an actress in a motion picture drama for Misery.

For the 48th Golden Globe Awards, she wore a chic black dress with silver and white beadwork.

Although she would go on to receive additional nominations years after, her second Golden Globe came in 1997 when she won for best performance by an actress in a supporting role in a series, limited series or motion picture made for television category for her work on The Late Shift.

Bates attended the 54th Golden Globe Awards dressed in a bedazzled blood-red blazer with black dress pants.
