Jonathan Van Ness Cohosts WWD’s Eye on the Red Carpet in Christian Siriano Gown at Golden Globes 2025

Utterly ridiculous...

2025 Golden Globes GLAMBOT: Jonathan van Ness Twirls On The Carpet

Bizarre...

Gross.

WTF is [bold]that[/bold] supposed to be?

these are the kind of individuals that make gays look like they want to be women.

He's non-binary.

I'm non-interested.

This is why they hate us.

Nice try frumpy

Hot tranny mess!

He’s EXHAUSTING.

Read the room asshole.

It’s just ugly and stupid. It’s an ugly dress. It isn’t styled at all. If you’re gonna do it, do it. But this falls flat, even in its “shock value.” The idea is poorly executed.

It looks like a mental breakdown.

I can’t stand him.

Billy Porter is gonna be pissed.

1973 called. It wants its sloppy gender fuck back.

This is why Trump won…again.

Disgusting display

R16 Oh please. The New York Dolls didn't scandalise the US and influence Presidential elections, nor have a couple of histrionic gender fucks on red carpets in the 2020s.

People can wear what they want, but it’s offensive how bland the dress is when he’s hosting a fashion show. Looks like something a midwestern teenager would pick up off the rack for prom.

I loathe it. And I wish it would stop telling people they don’t have to wash their hair frequently. Meanwhile, its long hair always looks like a rat’s nest and doesn’t flatter it at all.

R3, R5, R16, R17 Ancient Crypt-Dwelling Conservative Prisspot Marys have spoken.

Thank god the woke era is coming to an end. No more pandering to these clowns.

R18, the most successful Trump ads were the tranny ones.

You sound so proud of that R23.

Wotta fag!

You have a point. But the point is MAGA politicians and PR folks are cynical cunts who divide the nation and brainwash dopes to vote against their own economic interests by leveraging scandal. If it's not a gender fuck histrionic, it's an "illegal alien" darkie eating cats and dogs.

It’s not just a maga thing. The whole non-binary thing is a bastion of attention whores and it’s all so performative. And most of the queers who do it, dress up like someone’s fucking square state Auntie. American men, even the fashionistas, if they want to do non-binary well, need to take a page out of the Italian male pop-star’s book. Mahmood does it best.

Oh please not him again, R27.

Next, Willy Cartier!

WWD? Weirdos Wear Daily?

I cannot stand him. He’s an embarrassment to our community. A freak. An insane person who should be locked up.

Once again, Little Richard, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, and Grace Jones were all people who toyed with gender as an expression of sex, wit, and general fuckery — and looked damn good doing it. And they all had talent.

These "non-binary" types are just no-talent attention whores who think slapping on a dress makes them remotely interesting. Eddie Izzard waiting to use the ladies' while checking his phone is just pathetic.

His teenage Valley Girl speak adds to the creepy effect. 🤮

[quote] I cannot stand him. He’s an embarrassment to our community.

Our community? This ain’t no commune.

I went to his IG once. As God as my witness, I saw a video where he kept saying, to the viewer (I think??) “you’re a slut!” over and over..

There’s no point to him.

Stupid clown.

Who wore it better?

I know it’s not the same dress, but why aren’t any outlets doing side by sides?

R23 and Bill Clinton said that when he told the Harris campaign that they were screwing the pooch on the trans issue—-which he said was hurting the Dems—-he was ignored.

The trans gop tv messaging was very effective for the gop.

#DFA

R22 I know someone who had a dress exactly like this. They said somehow it went missing from their luggage during a trip likely taken at the airport.

Yes this type of public hire hurt the Dems in 2024.

What hurt the Dems was the lack of a compelling economic message for working class voters. Most people are too busy to give a fuck about shit like this.

R40 Dems and Progressives claiming that the trans and kids issue, the trans in sports issue, was something Americans did not care about , or freaky looking men wearing a bright red dress they stole from someone’s luggage at the airport, are doing a great job in preparing for 2028.

Harris Waltz 2028—Hold Firm and Don’t Change

They don't care about GOP lies, either, r41. Thanks for your anecdotal observation, but the results don't lie. Nobody fucking cares in a substantive way except a small segment of the population.

R42 yes or no did the issue have an adverse impact on the Dems this past presidential.? For the Dems that should be the only issue.

Talking how it’s a “small segment” is silly if elections turn on small numbers of people.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Jonathan Van Ness.

R42 “anecdotal” ?

The last I read the GOP won all 7 battle ground states, the White House, the Senate, and the House. Maybe I read wrong?

and to that frock

Your observations are anecdotal (and personal, I suspect). The exit polling and actual trained experts with years of experience led to the conclusion that what hurt the Dems was the lack of a compelling economic message for working class voters.

People are underestimating the impact of Biden’s debate performance. That was a Manchurian Candidate-level conspiracy reveal. Who the fuck has been running the country? And he’s STILL president. WTF?! Why wasn’t Harris sworn in the next morning?

The democrats are actually playing it smart - let people say it was trans issues (which, in the grand scheme, have an minuscule impact on most Americans’ lives) or “wokeness” or even that immigration did get out of hand. Because anything is better than, “instead of taking appropriate actions and ensuring that VP Harris was installed as president, we had a secret cabal running the country.” There isn’t much worse than that, it’s the height of corruption. And it had to have been done by people who understood the seriousness of what they were doing, whoever they were. Not crazy Jan. 6 randos. And yes, Trump bears responsibility for Jan 6, but people know that. It wasn’t covered up. He’s a known evil, not a “holy fuck how bad it is?” evil. That’s the issue that convinced lukewarm Harris supporters to stay home and nose-holding Trump voters to come out.

R47 man up and just say the trans issue did not hurt the Dems. I can respect that. This weak avoiding answering and instead saying other things were more important is a weak cop out.

—Yes there were more important issues by a lot than the trans issue in 2024

—Yes the trans issue hurt the Dems in 2024

Both can be very true statements. Only a fool of a dem would not care about that because…

A couple of guys I went to high school with posted this as a sign of the apocalypse on FB.

[quote]man up

And there it is! You seem a bit emotional and need to calm down, r49. Time after time, we see that nobody really cares about this stuff and it's really about whatever message gets through to people who aren't deep in politics.

People are indifferent about trans/non-binary people unless asked., just like they are about gay men. You just have an axe to grind and are too close to the issue to accept the reality. And I say this as some who thinks JVN is annoying twat. Thanks for helping me illustrate that for all to see here.

R51 you still won’t answer the question or say that the trans issue did not hurt the Dems. You are avoiding answering. Kind of cowardly imo.

I never had a trans on line discussion until I found DL. I had no idea so many people were so upset about the trans until I found DL. It’s not my issue.

The only axe I have to grind has to do with winning and losing elections. The trans issue is just not an issue I give a shit about unless it impacts votes up or down.

It didn't. Now go have a calmdown beverage.

What's confusing to me is why rock the beard? I mean if you feel that you need to express your inner female side wouldn't you shave that off at least and adopt some more female centric hair styling and perhaps makeup? This whole gender divergent genre is not thought out well when it comes to styling and wardrobe selection from what I'm seeing?

To be honest when you look at your "fuckability index" this individual's style statement places him at a zero which is sad. I'm sure somewhere out there there's some men into men who wear evening gowns and sport a beard but I'm having some difficulty in believing that's any significant percentage.

I think this is driven by some PR people behind the scenes who are in their mid to late 30s zonked out of their minds on prescription benzos. These are the same individuals that were provided copious amounts of prescription ADD meds in the '90s their brain is fried the reasoning ability is skewed.

We all need to face it given the recent election results, the majority of the American population is extremely tired of this agenda and that includes probably somewhere between 50 to 60% of the LGB population. There are bigger fish to fry than being concerned about somebody's lowered self-esteem because somebody made a negative a comment about their inability to rock an evening gown with a beard is inconsequential.

I've said this here before, but I guess it bears repeating. I belonged to a very conservative women's organization (from which I have now resigned), and I and a quartet of 70+ aged women went out to lunch. They didn't GAF that I'm a lesbian -- but they were dying to quiz me on the transgender thing. And this was two years ago.

Don't tell me the right doesn't get upset about this issue, because I know they do, even if they've never encountered a transgendered person in their entire lives. And without a doubt, these women voted. Republican.

But that's the point: They were already conservative. The swing voters that went to the GOP cared about groceries.

R53 the HRC does not agree with you. They claim 4% of the voters were voting anti-trans.

Is 4% a big deal? How close was the fucking election?

Bill Clinton claimed the trans issue hurt the Dems.

“They're running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives." Tim Waltz.

That’s exactly the point. Flashing your boobs on the White House lawn and talking kids into surgery and puberty blockers is not “trying to live their lives”.

Trans never was a serious issue before The Cult took over.

[quote] Most people are too busy to give a fuck about shit like this.

Wrong again. This has infiltrated schools. Parents are outraged.

[quote] the HRC does not agree with you.

HRC, the group that is run by trannies? The group that was caught stealing funds? The group that was caught making up statistics about trans deaths? Get the fuck out of here, moron.

They didn't give enough of a shit when Biden won.

[quote] People are indifferent about trans/non-binary people unless asked

This is the type of thinking that got Trump back into the White House. Keep it up.

The dress is pretty but that color doesn't flatter him at all.

Also, there's no way 4% of a NATIONAL poll proves this either way, r57. And here's the link you didn't take the time to give us. I just don't think many people went into the voting booth voting one way or another for this single issue.

Progressives deny that 4% of American voters were voting anti-trans. I doubt anyone is surprised by this.

No, sugar, of course anti-trans people voted anti-trans, but it's a fool's errand to think these people are single issue voters.

Also: Confirmation bias game is strong with trans issues on DL. You all are fucking hysterical about this shit. Nobody fucking cares unless they're asked.

This shit is now tantamount to womanface - draw that line to blackface. Still acceptable?

maybe the media should stop trying to glorify trans people as somehow commendable or artistic or interesting, because they're most certainly not, and everybody knows this but impressionable children.

They say the same thing about gay people, r69.

R66 tell that to the single issue folks that claim it’s 100% the economy and nothing but the economy. Yes I would think the trans was “among” the issues that drove voters from the Dems to the GOP.

Anyone that thinks the trans issue did not hurt the Dems is a moron or a progressive.

They're wrong when they say that about gay people, R69. We don't perform, we just live.

[quote] Yes I would think the trans was “among” the issues that drove voters from the Dems to the GOP.

It didn't happen with trans in 2020. It didn't happen for gay people in 2008 when Prop 8 didn't pass but Obama won. Anyone who thinks otherwise is biased. You just WANT this to be the reason, because of your inherent bias. And r72's hypocrasy proves it.

[quote]We don't perform, we just live.

Who the fuck are you to say that about trans people? How are you qualified to do so. You all have been getting too easy of a pass with the anti-trans bullshit around here. When it's time for you to be allies for anyone else, you don't rise to the occasion.

R53 How about a Bud Light?

Now progressive is a slur. As the definitions of some words expand to the point of making the word meaningless, others have been reduced to nothing more than political pejoratives.

Oh, fuck off. Beer drinking is not voting. How about you learn about market segments? You might get paid more than InBev's stupid marketing team did.

[quote] making the word meaningless

Like this thread. JVN is an annoying little cunt, but some of you bitches just can't help but to make it an excuse to hate on an entire class of people.

JVN wears the beard and the gown because he has impoverished creativity and he is a histrionic attention seeker. So that is the only sad tired gimmick he could invent to get attention.

R75 yes the word becomes meaningless.

Although it’s important we still call those who don’t agree with us on some issue a Boris ( a raving commie cunt) or a Nazi ( a raving fascist cunt)

We can even call black men , who voted for trump, racists because those words never lose their true meaning.

Yes progressive is now a slur. Welcome to 2025.

Is he aware that this look has been done by Conchita Wurst since decades?

T76 "You might get paid more than InBev's stupid marketing team did."

They made a huge mistake and used a toxic transvestite to utterly destroy their own business. What's your point?

I understand and appreciate drag, but he just looks like a guy wearing a woman's ballgown like the the photographs of high school-aged boys playing women's roles in plays in my father's circa 1940s' yearbooks. Or like a college frat prank.

It's dumb.

[quote] toxic transvestite

Yep, taking one annoying figure and using it as an excuse to shit on an entire class of people. Thanks for showing everyone a living example.

R83 is shocked that people that virtually no one is aware of , do not move public opinion , like people who are world wide famous.

Next why are famous people better known than people no one knows about? A plot?

No, I'm not shocked at all that you're aking one annoying figure and using it as an excuse to shit on an entire class of people. That's it. Nothing more.

Also, who waxed those shoulders and back? They deserve an award!

Jonathan Van Ness should stay the fuck home and don't come out.

No sense of himself.

R85 repeat after me R84 cares about elections . In a close election the trans issue hurts Dems.

Keep repeating that a few times and maybe you will come to a different conclusion than I. I have respect for people who put their principals above winning elections.

Good for you if so

R27, do you even know who that is?

T83 Why do you never engage with a question, but simply have a hissy fit at the person who poses it?

You are not Sally Field. They don't like you. They really, really don't.

You might stop pissing on what's left of your allies.

Datalounge is always cunting on Billy Porter but at least when he wears a dress, it fits.

R60 your argument is that the HRC is run by trannies so that is why the HRC showed that the anti-trans vote hurt the Dems.

And that makes sense because?

I’d like to see his shoes to see if he had the guts to go painfully all the way as most women who wear gowns do. Or did he cop out and opt for a chunky heel boot like he’s done before? It’s all fun and games until it hurts.

Where is the styling? Where are the accessories, makeup, hair? If anyone other person (woman) came out on the red carpet looking like that, they would would be lambasted. He looks like he's still in the fitting room at David's Bridal.

R31 Don't forget Prince!

I thought this asshole was canceled? He was shown to be a huge fucking prick on that show and everyone was hating him, how did he get this gig? Also, I didn't know he was hiv +, someone fucked him? He's such an attention whore. He's done all kinds of press about his anal fistula, ffs.

Well this reminds me of the Sunday brunch out I had with Helen Pixley , Mavis Perkins and Iola Henderson at Friendly's ! We had not seen Iola in a while and we were stunned to see the thick facial hair she had developed after ceasing estrogen replacement therapy! My goodness I tried not to stare !!! I half expected her to pull out a cigar ! Helen in an effort to be helpful steered the conversation towards depilitories, laser hair removal and shaving !! Iola did not catch on poor dear ! Iola is also cursed with a uterus that falls out of place due to lady parts being over streached having 5 kids! I was always worried it would fall out! I had a nightmare that spontaneously during the senior center yoga class , her uterus would crawl out of her birth canal and would walk around the senior center attacking all the colored help !!!

[quote]I have respect for people who put their principals above winning elections.

Aaaaand Trump is president.

Does anyone think that trans issues helped Democrats? Because if they didn't help, they hurt.

Unnecessary, ugly fit and color, and too stupidly hackneyed.

Someone should have thrown red paint on him just for principles alone.

Please, the election is over. Anything you parse together now about the results will not matter three years from now when the world is a much different place. Can we please let it go and talk about how stupid the trans movement is outside the realm of elections?

First - I think it's insulting to Women's Wear Daily to have a man in an ugly dress and a beard commenting on fashion.

Second, the whole "I'm a man in a dress - isn't it SHOCKING and ORIGINAL" is more than tired and played out. It's just attention-seeking at this point.

When you're not interesting or good enough for anything else, then being outrageous is somehow a substitute. And yes Billy Porter falls into this category.

Aww I like Billy Porter though, and his dress wearing seems more genuine than this fucking creep.

I think he did it for the attention.

Naturally Pink News is GUSHING over this fierce look!

[quote]Jonathan Van Ness absolutely stunned in a gorgeous emerald green gown during the 2025 Golden Globes, and all we can do is stan. The non-binary star let the dress speak for itself, accessorising it very simply with just a few rings on both hands. Complimenting the dress was Van Ness’ always stunning eyeshadow and a touch of mascara.

It feels so staged - like WWD knew this would get them press.

Cheap stunt.

Again, I posit the men of Italy as knowing what it means to do gender fluid, androgynous dressing flawlessly - IF you are so inclined. My first link was paywalled. But scroll down to the singer Mahmood. This was his Sanremo 2024 look. Clothes are suppose to accentuate and highlight your better features. What he has on is a feminine silhouette but it accentuates his masculine arm and shoulder, it hugs his right pec. You see the male form underneath soft curves that are usually reserved for women. That is what it makes it interesting, You want to see the male form through what is typically feminine fabrics like lace and silk - not a shapeless frock.

The bearded lady

And the worst part is he has zero ass

84% of Americans polled said that they don’t believe biological men should be playing in women’s sports or in women’s space. If Democrats want to die on that hill, so be it. They will just keep losing elections. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. It is never going to be normalized and the minute they began targeting children with drugs and sterilization, it was all over. Women don’t want to be called cis or have their government refer to them as birthing people who perform chest feeding. Democrats lost their goddamn minds. Meanwhile people can afford to eat and their cities are being destroyed while Democrats continue to play the pronoun, anti-Jew, and anti-white game. People have had enough. The Left’s arrogance is not lost on anyone except the Left.

Jonathan admitted to being repeatedly molested as a child with no father figure at home. His story is a full-blown stereotype. Read his Wikipedia page. He was fucked up from day one.

And he continues to victimize people. He should do fucking therapy, maybe EMDR, instead of just being an asshole to the world.

Porter’s half tux/half gown at the Oscar’s was the only time he wore a gown that was creative and well tailored to fit him. The rest of the time he looked like a man that got a ladies dress off the rack and put it on. Van Ness looks the same way, a man in a dress who looks like he stinks. Van Ness couldn’t even answer softball questions from Dax Shepherd about trans athletes without histrionic crying.

Those “Kamala is for they/them, Trump is for you” tv spots were aired during college football events, WNBA games and other pro sporting events for a reason. Like it or not they worked and reached millions of people. Of course trans issues weren’t the top issue with regards to voting for trump, but seeing blatant unfairness right in front of them and nothing being done about hits people in a different way.

You know Betsy Bloomingdale is rolling in her grave this very moment......

He really has no ass at all.

And the question of the day comes from BoysTown in Chicago.

Why are the Dems and liberals losing so much support from young men, white, black, Hispanic?

R7 who cares. Let him do him. He is obviously gender non conforming.

He used to be fat lol. Explains it all.

I do agree. The dress is ugly. He looks a whole hot mess.

R113 Every time the Dems lose it’s because they forget elections are an emotional appeal and reaction. People don’t live and operate by facts. I do however but most people don’t. And then when you add to the fact that American culture is so anti-intellectual well there ya go.

A man wearing a dress on the red carpet! How refreshing!

I can't believe I'm going to defend Billy Porter but at least he is a very talented performer. He can sing with the best of them.

His fame whoring and gender bending has basically left him broke and unemployable though.

This one is just trying to sell the sizzle but he has no steak. Or fashion sense.

Agree r122

He's SO out there!!!

I think people forget how America exploded when it thought a man beat up a woman at the Olympics. It might not have been the biggest issue. But it was definitely a hot button issue - a lot of emotional bang for the buck on that one.

R107, if ballgowns looked good on men, they would wear them. But they don’t. I don’t like the bottle green color, but apart from that the gown is trying to do what every other gown tries to do: flatter a female figure by accentuating tits, ass and a narrow waist. It looks awful on a man because that’s not what a man’s body is about.

Thank god we have never seen Carson Kressley in a gown or a skirt or anything of the such. He is a flaming queen, but he gets what looks good on him and other people. I would love to hear what he thinks of all of these shenanigans.

Jonathan Van Ness looks utterly ridiculous if not insane.

I happily correct people when they include me in this LGBTQIA+ nonsense!

I'm not a "queer", I'm GAY and am not cosplaying. Real girly men wear pants!

The thing is - Jonathan isn't even a fashion person - he's a hairstylist! WTF does he know? Carson Kressley KNOWS fashion - and has some of the best quips every time he's on camera.

This one literally just flops his hair and eoes Cardi B rrrrkkkkay?

Gays and lesbians - we need to take some of our stuff back. Close this open tent for those who just want attention and to make their whateverism center stage.

Things have gone off the rails with the non-binary, asexual, pansexual, 30 different genders bullshit. They use our kindness and acceptance as a weapon.

Time to start making some boundaries of our OWN.

R129 has stated her boundaries!

R130 - somebody has to because we're being made fools of. It's not a coincidence that support for LGBT has decreased the past 10 years.

All of these special snowflakes with their attention-grabbing non-gender confirming outfits and makeup. And you can't dare to not 100% agree with the silliest shit they have on - or you'll be cancelled.

I'm supposed to say this pic is brave and heroic. All I see is some hairy man who is a 4 in looks trying to get some attention by wearing the most ridiculous shit you can think of.

People have done this before decades ago without being so political and serious about it. It's a wig and makeup - stop making it out to be more than it is.

What I don't get is non-binary is suppose to be the opposite of making a cultural male/female choice, it is eschewing traditional male or female binaries. Choosing to wear mascara, dresses, gowns, fake eyelashes is definitely choosing a cultural binary, whether you are a man OR woman doing it. Non binary is a Hanes t-shirt and cotton dockers.

R132 - there you go, using your brain again.

Obviously you're right - but they would say that wearing the opposite of what is traditional gender wear is non-binary because they aren't choosing either one.

Believe me - they've got some bullshit answer that will just fatigue you and make you give up cuz you can't be bothered with that level of foolishness.

Jeeze some of you weirdos really get worked up over a piece of fabric.

R134 Do you know any homosexuals?

No, r134 ONLY knows queers and they/thems!

I think a lot of women turned on the trans issue due to the biological men in women’s sports being publicized like Lia Thomas. I agree it is unfair.

R137 - not just that - it's the changing of language - people who give birth instead of pregnant women.

There's been a slow drip drip drip of stuff over the years - making women's sanitary products more man-like and changing the language so it doesn't say women's.

It's also just downright insulting to insist that trans women are women. Ok - then women are also trans women too? No - they are completely separate.

The overreach has been breathtaking - they've alienated straight women, most gays, lesbians and - let's face it - majority of straight men. I won't say all because if you look online, there ARE quite a few 'straight' men who are open to trans.

I have to think that the trans girls are easy to get and are DTF very fast. It's like a cheat code - you get a 'girl' who is tall, thinner (because they are men) who you don't necessarily have to chat up, take her out, or do other things.

I hate to say it - but I really think these 'straight' men see these trans women like that. They're like free hookers. Seriously.

Costume change for the after-party!

R37 So what exactly is Kamala's stand on trans people? Is it concerning to right wingers and anti trans troll that they are allowed to even exist?!?!

We know that gender dysphoria is categorized as a mental illness and the only proven cure so far for most has been transitioning. However if regressive fucks like those who you parrot refuse to even allow any research other than Jesus wtf do you expect?

We all know the cure for gayness is cock.

R138 It's also the fact that women's crime rates are going up while their sports scores are going down. A sudden rash of women sexually assaulting people is so odd.

[quote] We know that gender dysphoria is categorized as a mental illness and the only proven cure so far for most has been transitioning

At least 80% of kids with gender dysphoria grow out of it.

[quote]Costume change for the after-party!

He looks preposterous.

r129 I sometimes wonder if these type of gays never got over the trauma they received for liking traditional female stuff as kids. So they just go overboard with this cosplaying as female even though they aren't trans. I mean people should live their life and do what makes them happy, but he still looks absurd. There is nothing complimentary about that dress. Does he really think he pulls it off just because his hair is laid to the gods.

R144 - nah - it's attention seeking. Just like his over-the-top personality. He looks like he would be difficult to hang out with - loud, saying outrageous things, laughing WAY too much, etc.

It's an adopted personality - it's not real. We've ALL met queens like this. It's a cartoon - and it's fun for an hour, but annoying AF after that.

I had a friend who thought that saying cutting things and being bitchy was what being gay was all about. There are too many bar queens who adopt this outrageous personality at 21 or 22 when they first come out and then it becomes their personality outside of the bar too.

It definitely comes from insecurity - but it's just annoying and needs to be called out. You can wrap that shit up in cheap talk and phrases of 'living your best life' and 'let everyone be who they want to be' - but they aren't being themselves. They're being clowns and caricatures.

Buuut - I will say you can see some of the same thing among straight men and women, just in obviously different varieties. The 'tough' guy and the 'diva' comes to mind.

The “tough” guy and the Diva meet and join as one as a gay man with boots and head to toe leathers holds a single tail.
