Preparing for the Spotlight
Podcaster Alex Cooper is gearing up for her big night at the 2026 Golden Globes, where her hit show Call Her Daddy is nominated for Best Podcast. On January 9, the 31‑year‑old star took to Instagram to share a playful Reel, asking fans to help her decide which gown she should wear to the star‑studded ceremony.
Six Dresses, Six Statements
In the video, Cooper tries on a series of six different dresses, offering candid commentary on each. Her first option was a black Gucci gown, which she described as “classic.” With its scoop neckline, the dress prompted Cooper to joke:
“I don’t know the last time I’ve done a little boob moment. I never have my boobs out anymore.”
Her mother, chiming in off camera, added humor to the moment by shouting: “And they’re real!” Cooper laughed, replying: “And they’re real, mom, thanks. Not that that matters, but, you know.”
Playing With Color
The second option was a simple white dress, which Cooper admitted made her nervous:
“Because I’m pale.”
She then slipped into an off‑white ruched vintage Chanel gown with a matching shawl, praising its elegance but questioning whether it had the same impact as the black Gucci. “I love it, I just don’t know if it’s as much of a statement as the black,” she said.
A Mix of Glamour and Humor
Throughout the Reel, Cooper balanced fashion critique with her trademark humor, even joking about modesty when showing the Chanel neckline:
“We do have boobs, but you don’t see them. We’re very modest here.”
Fan Engagement
By inviting her followers into the decision‑making process, Cooper turned her gown selection into an interactive moment, blending glamour with relatability. With her Golden Globes debut approaching, fans are eager to see which look she ultimately chooses to represent her on one of Hollywood’s biggest nights.
