Demi Moore, like many Angelenos, found a clever way to bypass the notorious Los Angeles traffic: she walked to the 2025 Golden Globes! Before gracing the red carpet, Moore skipped the traditional car arrival and opted for a more pedestrian approach, strolling from her nearby hotel.
In a red carpet interview with Variety, Moore confirmed that she “walked” from her hotel, playfully keeping the location’s details close to the vest, stating it was “not far.”

On January 5th, the 62-year-old actress, nominated for her performance in The Substance, stunned onlookers in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé strapless champagne silk gown adorned with a curved geometric detail and embellished with Swarovski crystals. She served as both a nominee and presenter for the evening.
Moore’s performance in the 2024 body horror film The Substance garnered critical acclaim, earning her a nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. In the film, Moore portrays Elisabeth Sparkle, a TV aerobics instructor whose life takes a dramatic turn after being fired from her job at age 50. Seeking to reverse the aging process, she turns to an experimental black-market drug that results in a younger version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley. This duality explores themes of aging and self-perception.

Moore discussed the film’s poignant themes in a December 2nd interview on The Hollywood Reporter‘s Awards Chatter podcast. She expressed being captivated by the exploration of aging and the internal struggle with self-image, particularly the “violence that we can have against ourselves.” She emphasized the relatable nature of dissecting and criticizing one’s own reflection, a sentiment shared by both men and women. This resonated deeply with Moore on a human level.
Prior to The Substance, Moore admitted to feeling uncertain about her career trajectory, questioning her place and purpose in the industry. She pondered whether her career was complete and if she had fulfilled her potential. The role in The Substance seemingly revitalized her career.
Beyond her Golden Globes appearance, Moore experienced a red carpet renaissance throughout the film’s promotion. From a striking appearance at the 2024 Met Gala to a captivating presence at the Cannes Film Festival in a custom Loewe gown, Moore consistently made headlines. She continued this trend with glamorous appearances at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Gala and the 2024 Governor’s Awards.

This year’s Golden Globes marked a triumphant return for Moore, showcasing not only her acting prowess but also her enduring style and clever approach to navigating Hollywood’s biggest nights. By choosing to walk, she made a statement about practicality and perhaps a subtle commentary on the excesses of Hollywood.
