Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia took her glam to the next level at the 2025 Golden Globes.
The podcaster and social media personality, 25, made her first major red carpet appearance since her contentious breakup with Zach Bryan was made public this past October — and she was definitely making a statement with her style at the awards show.
LaPaglia, outfitted by styling duo Danielle & Alix, had the ultimate revenge dress moment in a metallic gown featuring ruched detailing that accentuated her waist and a plunging sweetheart neckline. The strapless silhouette also showed off her numerous arm tattoos.
While a total show-stopper, the look wasn’t actually a part of LaPaglia’s original plans. Prior to hitting the carpet, she shared on her Instagram Stories that she almost wore a sheer silver hater dress with a keyhole cutout.
The original look was featured in a photo shared by makeup artist Alexis Oakley, who was in charge of LaPaglia’s glam, which featured a glossy lip and a glowy bronze complexion. Hairstylist Becca Mader styled the star’s hair in an updo with face-framing bangs.
Walking alongside LaPaglia on the carpet was her BFFs podcast co-host, Josh Richards, 22. He wore an all-black outfit consisting of a high-neck top, trousers and a blazer.
A sweet clip shared to the podcast’s Instagram page, captioned “Time for prom,” showed LaPaglia helping Richards gussy up for the night.
The two last attended the F1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas in November after David Portnoy announced he was leaving their podcast.

LaPaglia was thrusted into the spotlight after sharing details on her relationship with Bryan, 28, whom she claimed was emotionally abusive. The two officially started dating in July 2023.
On BFFs, she further opened up about the alleged “love bombing” she had been put through by the “Pink Skies” singer, while talking about Bryan’s alleged cheating on Alix Earle’s Hot Mess podcast in December.
She recently found herself clarifying her relationship status amid rumors that she entered a new romance. “Also, I don’t have a boyfriend,” the content creator said in a TikTok posted on Jan. 1. “Everyone thinks I have a boyfriend, probably from my Instagram Stories this weekend, but I don’t have a boyfriend. Maybe one day, but not this day or not tomorrow.”
