“The strike is over,” exclaimed Skai Jackson. “It feels really amazing to all be together again.”

The 21-year-old actress — sparkling in a Jenny Packham silver sequin gown — was among the first to arrive on the Golden Globes red carpet. It was her first time at the awards show.

“Seeing Leonardo DiCaprio” is what she was looking forward to most, she said. “I’ve never met him. I love him. I’m rooting for anything Leonardo DiCaprio.”

The “Killers of the Flower Moon” star, nominated for best actor in a drama, had not yet arrived. What would she tell him? “I don’t know. I’ll just say hi,” she giggled.

“We’re hoping to grab a win, baby,” said Noah Ricketts, standing alongside “Fellow Travelers” costar Jelani Alladin. The two were energized, ready for their night to kick off.

“Everybody is here,” added Alladin. “It’s people at the top of their industry, at the top of their game. I want to have party time with them,” he laughed.

Hari Nef was getting the party started, sipping on Moët & Chandon Champagne.

“You look sharp,” she told “Barbie” costar Ariana Greenblatt.

“You look beautiful,” Greenblatt responded. “I love the hair.”

“It just gets bigger and bigger,” said Nef, with her red-colored locks in a wavy Old Hollywood ‘do.

Nearby was Aria Mia Loberti, lead of “All the Light We Cannot See,” taking in the scene. It was her first-ever carpet.

“My first movie, my first audition, my first carpet,” she went on, showing leg in a sleek, ultra-high slit David Koma dress. Loberti got the coveted role from a global search of thousands of actresses for the Netflix miniseries, an adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s bestselling novel.

“It’s a little overwhelming,” she said of the experience so far. “I think on TV, it looks a bit more chill. And I think I didn’t really understand the, like, layers of people. It’s sort of like going to a carnival and getting on the carnival rides. It’s so crazy. The amount of people that are here. It’s so weird. I mean, I just walked into Selena Gomez. I’m like, ‘What’s happening?’”

“I’m wearing Armani,” Gomez said, stopping for a brief moment for a little curtsy in her ruby-red gown. The custom Giorgio Armani Privé number was adorned with cutouts and black crystal embroidered flowers.

She was one of many celebrities to zoom along the carpet and dash inside — most of the big-name stars arrived an hour or so before showtime. One by one they shouted the names of who they were wearing, at the request of reporters.

“Schiaparelli!” said Carey Mulligan in a strapless number.

“Gucci!” said Julia Garner, blowing a kiss.

“Dior!” said Jennifer Lawrence, in black velvet.

“Loewe,” revealed Greta Lee. Taking a beat and flashing a smile. “Of course,” she added.
