For celebrities, a glitzy red carpet is a perfect place to hard launch a date – just ask Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner – but it's also a wonderful opportunity to bring along your dearest family members and let them experience the glamor and pizzaz of a Hollywood awards show. And that's exactly what these A-listers did for the 81st annual Golden Globes which took place on Sunday evening in Beverly Hills. 

Rather than being photographed dressed the nines next to a partner, the likes of Bradley Cooper, Reese Witherspoon and Billie Eilish opted to bring their closest relatives – and the photos are adorable.

Here are the stars who brought made the 2024 Golden Globes a family affair…

Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper brought along his mom, Gloria Campano, to the star-studded event on Sunday, but this won't be a surprise to those who follow the awards season circuit closely. 

The Oscar-nominated actor has brought his mother along to many Hollywood events he's attended over the years – apart from the time he brought his adorable six-year-old daughter Lea De Seine to the screening of his latest film Maestro – and the mother-son duo always look adorable together. 

Bradley was nominated in the Leading Actor and Director categories on Sunday but sadly missed out. However, Gloria was no doubt a proud mom all the same.

Billie Eilish

Brother-and-sister duo Billie Eilish and Finneas are collaborators as well as siblings, so the two are often in each other's company at film and music events. 

But the two songwriters sweetly brought their mom, Maggie Baird, to the show on Sunday where she watched her daughter and son collect a big win for their track, What Was I Made For?, from Barbie, in the Original Song category. Billie and Finneas were also spotted giving their mom a kiss on the cheek before heading to the stage.

Cillian Murphy

The Oppenheimer actor is super private when it comes to his family life. But the star, who picked up a major award on the night for his role in the Christopher Nolan film, did bring along his wife, Yvonne McGuinness and his son the star-studded awards.

The couple, who have been married since 2004, are parents to two sons, Malachy, 17, and Aran, 16. Cillian brought along his 16-year-old to the Golden Globes and Aran was seen in laughing with his dad's co-star Robert Downey Jr. as they enjoyed the ceremony. It's not known if their eldest joined them, but the trio looked to be having a ball.

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon is an icon in the acting world, but first and foremost she's a proud mom-of-three. The Legally Blonde actress brought along her 20-year-old son, Deacon Phillippe, who she shares with ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, to the Golden Globes and we can't get over how much Deacon is her double!

The mother-and-son duo looked to be having a ball together and looked fresh-faced considering they were out partying together at the Vanity Fair Awards Season party the night before.

Charles Melton

Charles Melton was hoping to win big after being nominated for his role in May December, and although he missed out on an award, he and mom Sukyong Melton looked to be having a fantastic night among all of the glitz and glam. 

The mother-and-son duo were pictured holding hands on the red carpet which we just love to see.

Martin Scorsese

When Martin Scorsese, one of Hollywood's most prolific and influential filmmakers and directors, is your dad, it's only right that you get to go along to the parties. 

And that's exactly what Francesca Scorsese did when she joined her legendary father on the red carpet. Francesca looked stunning in a purple gown by Ladivine and wearing jewelery by Yessayan.

The father-daughter duo have become somewhat of an internet sensation thanks to Francesca featuring her dad heavily on her TikTok in hilarious videos (in which he "lowkey slayed"). We can't wait to watch their content from Sunday night.

Brie Larson

Apart from having a totally adorable/relatable meltdown on the red carpet after seeing JLo from afar, Lessons in Chemistry star Brie Larson brought along her mom Heather Desaulniers along to the show and even gave her a shoutout during the pre-show carpet stream. Cute.

Jo Koy

Host of the evening Jo Koy made his debut presenting the prestigious ceremony and, in typical award show host fashion, made plenty of jokes at the guests' and the industry's expense. 

But chatting to reporters ahead of his big gig, he revealed that he had brought along many relatives including his sister and his son, Joseph Hebert Jr. who he affectionally called his "ride or dies."
