It’s been an extraordinary awards season so far for Erin Doherty. After her breakout role as Princess Anne on The Crown, the British actress has found success with another Netflix limited series, Adolescence. She picked up the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie in September, and tonight, Doherty is nominated for her first Golden Globe.
For the Emmys she wore a black Louis Vuitton gown with a hoop skirt, and tonight, Doherty stayed with the French fashion house, arriving at the Beverly Hilton in a sleek black gown with a deep V-neck and ruching at the hips.

“That feels even more like a kind of fever dream,” Doherty told the Hollywood Reporter in December. “You grow up, you’ve heard those words: ‘Golden Globe.’” But, she admits, some of Hollywood’s glitziest occasions are also just a chance to reunite with the family she acquired on set. “My agent called me and was like, ‘You’ve got the nom.’ I was like, ‘Is everyone going to be there?’ Those things have always been this strange, otherworldly thing, [so] my immediate reaction is: ‘Are we going to have a gorgeous night together? Are the comfort blankets going to be there?’”

Co-created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, Adolescence is a psychological crime drama series is centered around a 13-year-old school boy (Owen Cooper) after the murder of his classmate. Doherty plays Ariston, a clinical psychologist assigned to the case, who interviews the boy during an intense, single-shot interview.
“Erin is so brilliant as an actor and so generous,” Thorne told Tudum about Doherty. “You do not know what she’ll do next—not just as herself on screen, but what she’ll do for the other actor. She will respond. She will go any way you ask her to go. And she’ll do a different take each time.”
