Taking to her Instagram Stories, Payal shared a full-length mirror selfie that shows her standing with All We Imagine As Light producers, all in black ensembles. On the image, the text reads, "With my amazing producers heading to the Golden Globes. We didn't win anything but we had sooo much fun." She also thanked the designer Payal Khandwala and stylist Indrakshi Pattanaik for the "amazing" outfit and for being the kindest and smartest. “And a special thank you to @payalkhandwala for this amazing outfit... and @styledbyindrakshi for being the kindest, smartest stylist who helped me feel so confident," she wrote.

What did Payal Kapadia wear to the Golden Globe 2025?

On the red carpet, Payal looked radiant in a customized black silk jumpsuit by Payal Khandwala. This piece is a part of Khandwala's Autumn-Winter 2024 collection. Made from ethically sourced handwoven matka silk from Eastern India, the jumpsuit honours heritage while embracing modern design. It features brocade accents on the pockets and the designer’s signature loop neck, which drapes uniquely each time it is worn. The flowing silhouette and intricate details reflect Kapadia’s impeccable style and her dedication to ethical and sustainable fashion.

As Kapadia graces the red carpet, she showcases the rich legacy of Indian textiles and craftsmanship, making her outfit as iconic as her historic Golden Globe nominations. She sported no makeup look and tied her hair in a messy bun.

Meanwhile, the movie is also running at BAFTA 2025 in three categories -  Best Director, Original Screenplay and Best Film not in the English Language.
