Kaley Cuoco is still making waves for a look she donned nearly ten years ago. In 2016, the sitcom star showed off her stunning figure at the Golden Globes, hitting up Beverly Hills for the star-studded event while modeling a strappy red dress. Flaunting her enhanced assets on the red carpet, Kaley highlighted her fit figure in an eye-popping gown, going body-hugging in spaghetti straps as she ditched the bra. Showing off her beachy bob hairdo, Kaley gained praise from the vast majority of fans reacting to the photos, although a few threw shade over the implants she’s confirmed having. Kaley was 30 years old at the time.

Scroll for all the photos. Drawing the eye to her chest while braving a plunging neckline, Kaley dazzled in a bright red maxi dress, rocking fine straps. Accentuating her toned arms and shoulders via her skimpy top, The Flight Attendant star opted for fine silks, rocking a defined waistband detail that fed into a floaty, slit skirt.
Flashing hints of her legs via her slit look, Kaley rocked strappy heels in dark silver, completing her look with her highlighted locks styled into soft, slightly choppy waves.

Beaming as she smiled for the cameras from The Beverly Hilton Hotel, Kaley sported warming makeup, showing off her rosy cheeks and defined brows while rocking a rosy pink lip. The event that year also welcomed celebrities including Netflix star Bella Thorne, Oscar winner Kate Winslet, and singer Jennifer Lopez.
Users quickly commented as The Daily Mail covered Kaley’s look. “Kaley looks great! Love the dress,” one user said. Noting that Kaley had finally grown out the pixie cut she’d made headlines for just prior, another replied: “She looks so much better now her hair has finally grown out…She’s an attractive woman with possibly the most realistic implants in the world.” The user did, however, reference Kaley’s enhanced curves, something the actress has herself been open about.
