Hudson Williams’ Golden Globes Serpent Necklace Was a Nod to His Own Snake Tattoo
By
For Hudson Williams, the Golden Globes is a finale of sorts to a hall-of-fame press tour since shooting to global stardom as Shane Hollander in “Heated Rivalry.” The newly appointed heartthrob of Hollywood met the moment on Sunday night, wearing a Georgio Armani white suit jacket styled with an open neckline, deliberately skipping a shirt and tie to showcase a gold serpent necklace.
The sinuous statement necklace was actually partly inspired by Williams’ own snake tattoo. “He has a keen liking of them so it seemed to be a natural fit,” stylist Anastasia Walker, who dressed him for the Globes, tells Variety.

Part of Bulgari’s emblematic Serpenti collection, the Tubogas design coils in yellow gold with pavé-set diamonds and onyx accents, using the brand’s signature serpent-inspired motif that’s rooted in mythic symbolism of wisdom, seduction and transformation. The serpent theme has been central to Bulgari since its launch in 1948, with the flexible Tubogas technique allowing the gold to wrap fluidly. It’s also not the first time serpentine jewelry has been worn during an awards show. Last year, Walton Goggins wore multiple pieces of snake-themed jewelry at the 2025 Emmy Awards as a nod to a pivotal plotline in his season of “The White Lotus.”
As for the ensemble as a whole, Walker says she already has a “good understanding of what silhouettes Hudson gravitates towards so this look was carefully selected with that in mind: Classic with a dose of sex.”
Williams’ fashion journey didn’t start at the Globes: during “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” appearance earlier in the week, Williams shifted gears in an all-black Balmain ensemble consisting of a tailored jacket and coordinating pieces, also styled by Walker. His most headlining fashion moment was a straight-off-the-runway burgundy leather jacket from Todd Snyder that he wore on the streets of New York City last week.
While his “Heated Rivalry” press tour might be coming to a close (for now), he’s already given us a plethora of fashion inspiration to pull from until Season 2 — as well as many more red carpet moments in his future.
