Getting Ready (in Loewe) with Sorry, Baby’s Eva Victor, the Darling of the 2026 Golden Globes
On the Thursday before the 2026 Golden Globes, Eva Victor’s Loewe gown was a bit of a mystery to the both of us. The Spanish fashion house had told me, a Vanity Fair writer, almost nothing about the garment, other than that Victor was wearing it, in an effort to prevent any leaks before she stepped out onto the Golden Globes red carpet. It was not being dramatic: In March 2025, the Spanish house appointed Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the founders of Proenza Schouler, as its creative directors. This is their first awards season at Loewe, and therefore it’s the first time the public really gets to see their aesthetic vision for formalwear—making this a hot tip for fashion obsessives.Photo by Ryan PflugerAs for Victor? She just trusted the guys. Later that afternoon, she’d walk into her first fitting having only seen a sketch. “I see two masters of their craft, and I will do whatever they think they want to see, because this isn’t my lane! I love that I get to wear it and I’m so honored,” she said.The Sorry, Baby actor, writer, and director, nominated for best female actor in a drama motion picture, was right to embrace the process. On Sunday, January 11, Victor stepped onto the red carpet wearing something red herself: a crimson cady silk strapless gown, gathered with a pebble brooch and featuring a high-thigh leg slit. (The last detail really excited her: “I’m gonna do an Angelina leg,” she told me, referencing Angelina Jolie’s famous pose at the 2012 Oscars.) She accented the look with diamond ear clips and a more-than-five-carat diamond ring from Tiffany & Co. (The awards season tradition of big jewelry houses lending their million-dollar gems to nominees is something Victor is still getting used to: “A bodyguard comes at midnight to collect your jewels, no matter where you are,” she said. “I’ve had a bodyguard come find me at a restaurant in Cannes at 2 a.m.!”)
