Nikki Glaser Steals the Show at the 2025 Golden Globes with Bold Style and Sharply Delivered Jokes

Nikki Glaser made a memorable impact at the 2025 Golden Globes, both on and off the stage. The stand-up comedian, who hosted the event, captured attention with her striking fashion choices, starting with a gold silk satin Prabal Gurung column gown. The gown featured an overskirt and rosette detail at the hip, setting the tone for an evening of high-style and sharp humor.

As the night progressed, Glaser continued to impress with a series of outfit changes. Her wardrobe included several sequin column gowns and daring low-cut designs, amounting to over ten different looks throughout the ceremony.

On stage, Glaser’s quick wit and humor stood out as she delivered a series of memorable jokes. Her comedic timing had the A-list audience laughing, with highlights including a cheeky joke about Ben Affleck, a zinger aimed at Harrison Ford, and a moment that made actor Glen Powell blush.

The comedian also roasted Hollywood's ongoing fascination with plastic surgery, referencing the latest trends in cosmetic procedures. "I love where you put your cheekbones," she joked, sparking a huge reaction from the crowd. She continued with humor about the popularity of eyelid lifts, saying, “I love how meditating removes your eyelids - really convenient,” referring to blepharoplasty.

In addition to her hosting duties, Glaser was nominated for Best Performance in a Stand-Up Comedy Program for her Max special, Nikki Glaser: Someday You'll Die.

Ahead of her hosting role, Glaser teased her bold fashion choices during the red carpet rollout on January 2. She wore a custom Off-White ensemble, featuring a boxy blazer jacket and wide-fit metallic pants, paired with a plunging black bodysuit. Her smokey eye makeup and textured beach waves completed the striking look.

In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Glaser explained that she wasn’t looking to offend anyone but to ensure the event remained enjoyable. “I am really in service of the people that are being honored there,” she said. “It’s a glamorous event where people are taking themselves too seriously, and I want to have fun with that.”

Glaser, who also hosts the CW dating series FBoy Island, said she hoped to strike a balance between humor and lightheartedness when joking about the evening’s nominees. “I want Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, or Nicole Kidman to feel safe in my hands,” she remarked, adding that she planned to bring humor to discussions about current pop culture and celebrity trends.

However, there were certain topics off-limits, such as the ongoing legal drama involving Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Glaser expressed that she would not touch the topic out of respect for the sensitive nature of the situation. “Even a mere mention of it will seem like I could be on the wrong side of things,” she said.
