Neath’s Katherine Jenkins stuns on Golden Globes red carpet as her Welsh gin brand makes Hollywood debut

Neath‑born opera superstar Katherine Jenkins has made a show‑stopping Golden Globes red carpet debut — not just as one of Britain’s most recognisable performers, but as the co‑founder of luxury Welsh gin brand Cygnet, which took centre stage as the event’s official gin partner.

The classical singer, who has sold millions of albums worldwide, walked the red carpet at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes in Los Angeles, marking a huge moment for both her career and the fast‑rising Welsh spirits brand she helped create.

A Hollywood entrance with Welsh flair

Jenkins made an entrance worthy of Hollywood royalty, wearing a bespoke Suzanne Neville gown paired with Kwiat diamonds and Giuseppe Zanotti heels. The look blended modern glamour with the polished confidence she’s known for — and ensured Cygnet’s co‑founder was one of the most photographed stars of the night.

Speaking on the red carpet, she said the Globes were “a whirlwind of incredible talent” and that she was proud to bring “a little taste of Britain through Cygnet Gin” to one of Hollywood’s biggest evenings.

Welsh gin lands in the hands of A‑listers

Jenkins walked the carpet alongside her husband and fellow Cygnet co‑founder, filmmaker Professor Andrew Levitas. Together, the pair represented a new wave of British luxury brands making their mark on the global stage.

As the official gin partner of the Golden Globes, Cygnet didn’t just appear on the red carpet — it was poured at the event, featured in the coveted celebrity goody bags and spotted in the hands of some of Hollywood’s most influential stars.

The partnership comes as Cygnet expands into the United States, with the Golden Globes providing the kind of global spotlight most brands can only dream of.

From Neath to Hollywood — and now the world

Cygnet, launched in 2023, has quickly carved out a reputation as one of the world’s most luxurious gins. Its flagship spirit, Cygnet 22, is distilled using 22 botanicals — including Manuka honey — and pure Welsh water, and is presented in a hand‑blown decanter named “Eirlys”, the Welsh word for snowdrop.

The brand has already picked up a string of international awards and is now distributed in Dubai, Singapore, the UK and the US. Its newest release, Cygnet Infinity, has just secured a Gold Medal at The Spirits Business Low & No Masters 2026.

For Jenkins, the Golden Globes appearance marks another milestone in a career that has taken her from Neath to the world’s biggest stages — and now onto one of Hollywood’s most glamorous red carpets with a Welsh gin in hand.
