Kathy Bates, who is nominated for best performance by a female actor in a television series drama for her role in Matlock, showed her timeless beauty looking radiant as ever at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, highlighting her 100 lb weight loss.
The actress turned everyone’s heads at Sunday’s ceremony with her unusual yet truly chic red carpet outfit choice.
Kathy beautifully matched a unique beaded dinner jacket with black tuxedo pants and a sparkling evening bag, but probably the most attention went to her unexpected footwear. The actress was wearing a pair of Sneex — a sneaker-heel hybrid from Spanx founder Sara Blakely.

Besides the truly charming outfit, Kathy was barely recognizable due to her slim figure.
A bit earlier this year, the Misery star opened up about her weight-loss journey over the past few years. The Oscar-winning actress has lost an astonishing 100 pounds (approximately 45 kilograms).
Kathy had to take her health much more seriously beginning in 2017 when she was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
“It runs in my family, and I’ve seen what my father had gone through. He had a leg amputation… One of my sisters is dealing with it very seriously. It terrified me, and it just scared me straight and I thought, ‘I’ve got to do something’,” she shared at the time in an interview.
“Getting diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite foods, but it can definitely help to be mindful of your overall eating pattern,” the actress added.
