Award season has finally arrived and that means it's time to critique outfits! The Golden Globes aren't really my favorite because I don't care too much for the small screen (except for reality shows and Dexter), but it's a good warm up to the Academy Awards. The Golden Globes show also serves the purpose of showing us what movies to see before the Oscars.
I saw some very interesting things on the red carpet last night. Honestly, I would say that about 70% of the dresses were huge FLOPS, 20% were just ok, and only 10% wowed. Kind of disappointing as you would think the stars would be bringing their A game!
The biggest trends seemed to be both bright and neutral colors. I have to say the bright colors were a nice change from the normal sea of black gowns and really freshened things up!
Here are my top 3 best dressed:
#1 January Jones in Versace. I like this dress for a few reasons, of course #1 it is a total show stopper. This is what a star should look like at the Golden Globes. The dress may be border lining on overly sexy but her retro-glam style makes it work. I love the cut outs and the fringe on the bottom makes it's movement interesting and so glamorous.
#2 Emma Stone in Calvin Klein. The color of this dress is a bit unusual and it compliments her new hair color perfectly! The shape of the dress is really flattering on her, even though she kind of looks wafey. Totally reminds me of a young Kate Moss here. The hair, make up and dress are working great on her.
#3 Claire Danes in Calvin Klein. Congrats to her for pulling this look off. Halter tops are always difficult to look good in. Her body is obviously incredibly fit and she looks vibrant and youthful in this beautiful pink. I like the simplicity of the dress with its clean lines and her choice of minimal jewelry and classic hair and make up.
Worth mentioning for best dressed:
Sandra Bullock in Jenny Packham (beautiful dress, hideous hair!)
Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang
Now onto the worst dressed. It was hard to pick just 3 because there were so many, but here are the absolute worst.
#1 WORST OF ALL. Julianna Moore in Lanvin. Barf barf barf. What is this? She has really been dressing like a weirdo lately. Though I like the color, it doesn't look great on her and the shiny material is so ugly. Not to mention the wrinkles all over the front, the one puffy sleeve, the built in necklace. What a mess! Oh yeah, her shoes suck too!
#2 worst. Michelle Williams in Valentino. Where do I begin? I had a dress with this pattern when I was 5 years old. The pattern is totally ugly and inappropriate for an awards show. The dress is ill-fitting and just all around ugly. What are those ruffles on the sides? Ew.
#3 worst. Heidi Klum in Marc Jacobs. She always dresses like a freak so this isn't that surprising to me, but ugly none the less! This looks like a swim suit cover up. I don't know if that's a bow on the front or wings or what? 40 bangles on each wrist, too much eye make up, she looks like she only curled 2 strands of hair. And somehow found a pair of ugly Louboutins (I didn't think they existed) to top it all off. Also notice that her toes are hanging over the front of her shoes. I honestly don't understand this woman, she is one of the most famous super models of all time and hosts one of the top fashion TV shows and she continues to dress like a homeless. Baffling.
Mentionable worst dressed:
Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad. The dress would actually be ok without that weird blanket over it. She should have opted for a different hair style (down) and ditched the earrings.
Thoughts?
