Joe Keery turned heads at the 2026 Golden Globes with a completely new look that fans couldn’t stop talking about. The 33-year-old Stranger Things star stepped onto the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton on January 11 wearing a sharp Louis Vuitton suit with black trousers and a white blazer.

But it wasn’t just his outfit making waves—it was his brand-new blond hair. Coverage from the event and social media reactions highlighted the buzz around his transformation.

Keery is best known for playing Steve “The Hair” Harrington, a character famous for his brown, perfectly coiffed locks. For the Golden Globes, he ditched that signature style for a fresh blond cut, showing off both a lighter color and a trendy new style.

Fans immediately took to X to share their excitement, with one writing, “Joe Keery is actually the dreamiest man alive.” Another joked, “Hi my name is Joe Keery, and I’m tall and handsome, have great BLOND hair and 7 million followers and I’m on the biggest show on Netflix and I’m currently presenting the Golden Globes with Charli XCX.”

Fans were quick to praise the actor’s new look. “That f*** haircut and that colour… oh Joe Keery you knew we were all going to die,” one user wrote, while another shared a gif from The Voice of someone slamming a red button, captioning it, “Me with the like button every time I see blonde Joe Keery on my TL.”

Even though Stranger Things’ fifth and final season did not receive any Golden Globes nominations in 2026, the cast and crew remain proud of the show’s accomplishments. The series dominated Netflix in late 2025, with four episodes released on November 26, three more on Christmas, and the finale airing on New Year’s Eve.

Keery spoke about the teamwork behind Stranger Things in an interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in November 2025. “Somebody said there were 8,000 people that worked on this show,” he said. “You associate the actors with the show and with the characters, obviously, but it truly is just a testament to the massive group of people that put their lives into this thing.”

The actor reflected on his own journey playing Steve Harrington over five seasons. “The thing I loved about the character, and loved that they gave me, is that he kind of has a change of heart and realizes the error in his ways,” Keery explained. “And I think right now there’s kind of a lot of opportunity for that, for people to sort of choose to do the right thing.”

He also praised the show’s message about friendship and acceptance. “The show is about a group of outcasts that come together, and you can be from all walks of life. But I just love that the character kind of makes that choice,” he said. “It was just a real pleasure to play for 10 years.”

From his new blond hair to his reflective thoughts on the series, Joe Keery reminded fans why he has remained a standout star on and off screen. Share your thoughts on Joe Keery’s bold Golden Globes transformation and his career in the comments.
