Hollywood ready for glam Golden Globes after strike

After an endless summer of strikes and red-carpet deprivation, Hollywood is ready to celebrate a return to glamour. Not to mention the $1.4 billion box office for “Barbie.”

“It’s the kickoff to a jam-packed awards season,” stylist Jeanne Yang, who dresses Robert Downey Jr., Keanu Reeves and Christian Bale told The Post. “It’s no ordinary year. There’s show after show coming” — the strike-delayed Emmys are January 15 — “and it’s finally a banner box office year. People are going to movies again. Plus, [the Globes have] that rare magic of TV and film stars in one room. Everyone’s dying to see some real red-carpet sparkle after so long.”

“The buzz word is ‘celebratory,’” added one network insider of the show, airing Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m.

“I’m going to poke fun, but in a way where we’re still celebrating,” comedian host Jo Koy said this week. “The industry got hit hard. Hollywood got shook.”

While Page Six previously reported that Globes organizers are praying that celebs don’t get too political during their speeches, stars seem to have moved past the scandals (sexual harassment, financial hijinks and a glaring lack of diversity) previously associated with the awards.

It helps that the Globes are under new management. The once-beleaguered Hollywood Foreign Press Association still votes for the awards, but Eldridge Industries purchased the assets of both the Golden Globes and Dick Clark Productions (DCP), longtime producer of the show.

One thing that apparently won’t change is the legendary booziness of the event, with champagne flowing at the ceremony and Remy Martin sponsoring the after party. Nobu Matsuhisa is providing bite-size sushi during the show, so ladies won’t lose their lipstick.

“Even the caterer had to be a star,” said a Dick Clark Productions staffer. “They’re not taking any chances.”

New owners are chasing new audiences and have added two new populist categories: TV stand-up comedy performance and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. The latter includes “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” — both nominated in other categories — as well as “John Wick: Chapter 4” and “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” movie.

The NFL game between Kansas City and the Los Angeles Chargers is airing on CBS right before the awards, so producers are definitely hoping fans watch Travis Kelce on the field then stay to see his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, at the Globes. (But don’t expect the magic synergy of them in the same place at the same time — Kelce apparently isn’t allowed to go.)

Others to expect include nominees Emma Stone, Margot Robbie, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Ryan Gosling and Julia Roberts. Nominees Annette Bening, Keri Russell, Jodie Foster and Matt Damon are among the presenters, along with Oprah Winfrey, Kevin Costner and Kristen Wiig.

There is also excitement over, of all things, a “Suits” reunion as Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams are scheduled to present after the old show show did gangbusters for Netflix this summer but the stars couldn’t promote it because of the actors strike.

Insiders say Sarah Rafferty, who played Donna on the show, will present with them. But the Hollywood gossip is that co-star Meghan Markle wasn’t invited over worries she would eclipse everything else.

One star stylist told The Post: “There’s no designer monopoly anymore. Everyone wants to stand out, get social media. Expect even more sheer gowns — if that’s possible — as well as cleavage, revealed waistlines and backs, and and revealing minis.”

Nervier men will be donning bright color suits, prints and flocked suits. “If Ryan Gosling and Dwayne Johnson can wear pink, all bets are off,” said the stylist.

When it comes to jewelry, reps for Cartier, Tiffany’s, Bulgari and Chopard confirm they haven’t had this many Globes requests in years.

Some big trends: ropes of pearls, hand jewelry, chokers and boldly colored gems.

Beauty-wise, expect to see more Old Hollywood red lips, ballerina buns and monotone makeup. Top faux lash innovator Lashify is sending teams to stars’ homes.

As for cosmetic surgery tweaks, one Beverly Hills dermatologist said to watch out for older stars with bangs: “Who doesn’t know what it means when a 50-plus-year-old actress changes her hair? It’s to disguise what else she’s done.”
