The 2026 Golden Globes red carpet just got a whole lot hotter.
Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie – the breakout stars of Crave’s Heated Rivalry – hit the carpet at their very first Golden Globes, where they are set to present an award.
Red-Carpet Style
Williams, 24, wore a white peak-lapel dinner jacket trimmed in grosgrain, paired with a white silk evening shirt, black evening trousers and a white grosgrain cummerbund, all by Giorgio Armani. He added a Bulgari necklace for shine.
Storrie, 25, chose a complementary Saint Laurent look in black and white. He wore a black tux with a white button-down and black silk tie, accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewels and black sunglasses. He wore his famous curls in a relaxed retro style.
In an interview on the red carpet with E!, Williams gushed over his look, saying he felt great in his Armani ensemble and Bulgari jewels. He joked that he’s not overwhelmed by “the grand scale” of the show’s popularity but does get overwhelmed by the volume of emails he now receives.
Viral Rise
The pair play rival hockey stars on fictional professional teams in the HBO Max series based on the book series by Rachel Reid. Over the past few months, Williams and Storrie have taken the internet by storm through viral interviews, sexy photo shoots and a parade of party appearances.
Williams, who plays Canadian hockey player Shane Hollander, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 7. He demonstrated how he stretches like a real hockey player and explained the intimacy garments he and Storrie wore for the show.
> “They call it a c— sock,” Williams told the host.
The audience laughed as Fallon reacted, noting the episode contained “the most bleeping we’ve ever done on the history of The Tonight Show.”
> “They call it a modesty garment,” Williams continued. “But by the end, they just gave up on any of them.”
Fallon asked if the actors were “wearing anything else” during their scenes.
> “No, which is awful,” Williams said, adding the garment “kind of grabs the berries.”
He began acting out how the piece works before Fallon assured him demonstration wasn’t necessary. Williams concluded by noting the entire backside is left exposed.
Nominations Announcement
Storrie, who plays Russian hockey player Ilya Rozanov, helped announce nominations for this year’s Actor Awards (formerly the SAG Awards). Alongside Janelle James of Abbott Elementary, Storrie read the nominees and referenced his childhood YouTube videos that have recently gone viral.
At the event, Storrie told News Of Losangeles he made a conscious decision to leave the videos – both cringeworthy and heartwarming – on YouTube as his fame grows.
> “It’s weird to see them going viral, [but] actually, it was a choice to leave them up,” Storrie said.
He revealed a fan once offered to help remove the clips through a contact at YouTube, but he declined.
> “It felt like the end of a sort of self-acceptance ritual,” he explained. “It feels cool to accept that.”
The 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards took place at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 11, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
