Jennifer Lawrence lit up the red carpet at the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on January 11, 2026. The 35-year-old actress, nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama, arrived in a sheer full-length Givenchy gown adorned with delicate floral details and carried a matching clutch.
The event, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, marks a major night for Lawrence, whose performance in “Die My Love” has earned critical acclaim. In the Lynne Ramsay-directed film, Lawrence stars alongside Robert Pattinson and portrays Grace, a new mother grappling with postpartum depression.
Lawrence’s competition in the category is fierce. She faces fellow nominees:
- Jessie Buckley for Hamnet
- Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value
- Julia Roberts for After the Hunt
- Tessa Thompson for Hedda
- Eva Victor for Sorry, Baby
The role resonated deeply with Lawrence, who became a first-time mom in 2022 and welcomed her second child in 2025 with husband Cooke Maroney. Their son, Cy, is now three years old.
In an interview with Jonathan P. Miller in November, Lawrence opened up about how motherhood shaped her portrayal of Grace. “As a mom, especially when I was a new, first-time mom, my community and having a mom community was so vital,” she said. “Having a community is so, so important and just being able to check in with other women, like, ‘Is this normal?'”
That sense of isolation and the emotional toll of new motherhood became a key part of her performance. “It was really easy for me to see and follow that path of isolation and how much that would affect my mental well-being,” she explained. “I had more information than I would have if I wasn’t a mom ’cause I have the perspective from the child, which I just wouldn’t have had before if I wasn’t thinking about another person’s nervous system all day, every day, I just wouldn’t be aware.”
Lawrence emphasized that becoming a mother didn’t just influence this role-it has transformed her entire approach to acting. “It’s not just when I’m shooting a movie,” she said. “It just changes everything.” Even the time of day she reads scripts is now shaped by her children’s routines.
This isn’t Lawrence’s first time at the Golden Globes. She won the award for Best Actress in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook and has been nominated multiple times since. A win tonight would mark her second Golden Globe victory and further solidify her reputation as one of the most compelling performers of her generation.
The 2026 Golden Globes also featured stunning arrivals from other A-list stars, including Ariana Grande, whose red carpet look quickly became a trending topic. But it was Lawrence’s ethereal presence and emotional performance that had Hollywood buzzing.
As the ceremony unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Lawrence’s raw, personal portrayal of a mother in crisis will earn her the night’s top drama acting honor.
