The 2026 Golden Globes red carpet just got a whole lot hotter.

Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie — the breakout stars of Crave's Heated Rivalry — just hit the carpet at their very first Golden Globes, where they are slated to present an award during the ceremony.

Williams, 24, wore a white peak-lapel dinner jacket trimmed in grosgrain, paired with a white silk evening shirt, black evening trousers and a white grosgrain cummerbund, all by Giorgio Armani. He added a Bulgari necklace for some shine.

Storrie, 25, went with a complementary Saint Laurent look in black and white also. He wore a black tux with a white button-down and black silk tie. He accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewels and black sunglasses. He also wore his famous curls in a more relaxed retro style.

In an interview on the red carpet with E!, Williams gushed over his look, saying he felt great in his Armani look and Bulgari jewels. Williams also joked that he's not overwhelmed by "the grand scale" of how popular the show has gotten but he does get overwhelmed by how many emails he gets now.

The pair, who play rival hockey stars on fictional professional teams in the show streaming on HBO Max that's based on the book series by Rachel Reid, have been everywhere (and then some) over the past few months. To promote the show, which is based on the novel of the same name by author Rachel Reid, Williams and Storrie have taken the internet by storm in viral interviews, sexy photo shoots and a parade of party appearances.

Williams, who plays Canadian hockey player Shane Hollander, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Jan. 7 and not only demonstrated how he stretches just like a real hockey player, but also clued host Jimmy Fallon in on the intimacy garments he and Storrie wore for the sexy show.

“They call it a c--- sock,” Williams told the host.

The audience laughed as Fallon made a face, noting that this episode contained “the most bleeping we’ve ever done on the history of The Tonight Show.”

“They call it a modesty garment,” Williams continued. “But by the end, they just gave up on any of them.”

Fallon asked the actor if he and Storrie were “wearing anything else” during their scenes.

“No, which is awful,” Williams said, before adding of the intimacy garment: “It kind of grabs the berries.”

As Williams began acting out how the garment works, Fallon assured his guest that he did not have to do that.

Still, Williams let him know there's a “motion” that needs to be done to get into the piece, to which Fallon mentioned the on-set intimacy coordinator.

“And then you have the whole backside, is out,” Williams said in conclusion.

Meanwhile, Storrie, who plays Russian hockey player Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, was tapped to help announce the nominations for this year's Actor Awards (formerly known as the SAG Awards). Alongside Janelle James of Abbott Elementary, Storrie read off this year's nominees — but also nodded to his early days of wanting to become an actor. He referenced his childhood YouTube videos (which have gone viral in recent weeks) by recreating one of them for viewers, complete with saying he wanted to be an actor in the future.

At the event, Storrie told PEOPLE that he made a conscious decision to leave those videos — both cringeworthy and heartwarming — up on YouTube as his star continues to rise.

"It's weird to see them going viral, [but] actually, it was a choice to leave them up," Storrie said.

"I didn't have access to them," he continued. "A fan reached out and was like, 'Hey, I know someone at YouTube who can help get them down,' and I went through the whole process, but honestly, it felt like the end of a sort of self-acceptance ritual."

"I think when you're like 12 years old, you kind of look at that, and you're like, 'Oh, cringe, I don't want to see it,' but I don't know. It felt cool to be like, 'Yep, that was me, and this is me now,' " he added. "And it feels cool to accept that."
