Brianna LaPaglia is making waves on her own at the prestigious 2025 Golden Globes, a moment she is truly enjoying.

Just three months following her public breakup with country music star Zach Bryan, the popular TikTok personality—widely recognized as Brianna “Chickenfry” on social media platforms—made a stunning appearance alongside her close friend Josh Richards at the Golden Globes on January 5. She captivated onlookers in a breathtaking bronze gown designed by Maria Lucia Hohan. (Click here to explore the entire fashion showcase from the red carpet.)

While the 25-year-old showcased her resilience and confidence in her newfound single life at the 82nd Golden Globes, hosted by Nikki Glaser, she candidly reflected on her less-than-ideal experience attending the previous year’s awards ceremony with Zach and her then-friend Grace O’Malley. She revealed that Zach openly disapproved of her outfit during that event, which significantly impacted her enjoyment of the occasion.

“That was absolutely wild,” Brianna recounted during a November episode of her popular podcast BFFs. “It was the first time he really attempted to dictate what I wore and how I presented myself. So, I went to the Golden Globes and shared a series of pictures, and he was not fond of my dress at all.”
