At the 2025 Golden Globes, Paul Qualley showed his unwavering support for his daughter, actress Margaret Qualley, in a unique and heartwarming way. The proud father opted to wear a t-shirt featuring Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Margaret’s breakout film role, under his classic black suit on the red carpet.
This 2019 Quentin Tarantino film, starring industry giants Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, marked a significant turning point in Margaret’s career. The movie also launched the careers of several other rising stars, including Austin Butler, Mikey Madison, and Sydney Sweeney. Paul’s choice of attire served as a touching tribute to his daughter’s accomplishments and her journey in the film industry.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Paul proudly displayed the t-shirt and expressed his deep pride in Margaret’s achievements, a sentiment he’s held since her childhood. This public display of affection underscored the strong bond between father and daughter.
Margaret, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Substance, attended the event without her husband, music producer Jack Antonoff, due to his illness. However, she was happy to have her father by her side, noting that he had attended the Golden Globes two decades prior. Margaret stunned on the red carpet in a white column gown with a sheer tiered layer and black ribbon detail, complemented by bold earrings, a sparkly headband, and a voluminous hairstyle.

Margaret’s parents, Andie MacDowell and Paul Qualley, were married from 1986 to 1999 and have three children together: Margaret, Rainey (also an actress), and Justin. While Paul, a former model and rancher, typically avoids the limelight, he and MacDowell reunited for Margaret’s wedding to Antonoff in August 2023. This demonstrates the enduring familial connection despite past separations. MacDowell later remarried businessman Rhett Hartzog in 2001, but they divorced in 2004. Paul Qualley’s presence at the Golden Globes served as a powerful reminder of the importance of family support in navigating the public eye and celebrating personal milestones.
