Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia took her glamor to the next level at the 2025 Golden Globes.
The podcaster and social media personality made her first major red carpet appearance since her contentious split from Zach Bryan was announced last October – and she definitely made a statement with her style at the awards.
LaPaglia, 25, had the ultimate revenge moment in a metallic dress with ruffle detailing that accentuated her waist and plunging neckline. The strapless silhouette also showed off her many arm tattoos.

While it was a total show-stopper, the look wasn’t actually part of LaPaglia’s original plans. Before hitting the carpet, she shared on her Instagram stories that she almost wore a sheer silver dress with a keyhole neckline.
The original look was shown in a photo shared by makeup artist Alexis Oakley, who was in charge of LaPaglia’s glam, which featured glossy lips and a glowing bronze complexion. Hairstylist Becca Mader styled the star’s hair in an updo with face-framing bangs.
