fashion @ the globes

A bit late, but i gotta share my favorites from the Golden Globes this year. A beautiful roll of dresses showed up on the red carpet and I already know what I like the most and what I didn't find appealing. Check out my hit and miss for the night.

One of my favorite dresses / looks for the night was dominated by Sofia Vergara. It's so natural with her. Blue, peacock, strapless, mermaid, Vera Wang..the key words for the night :)

Second pick would be Mila Kunis in a black Dior gown, flowy and classy.

And my 3rd best pick for the night was Sarah Highland in Vintage Dolce & Gabbana. The combination of the lace, beige and black and the shape were definitely why i found the dress interesting.

More nice dresses at the Golden Globes:

Salma Hayek in a couture beaded Gucci

Kate Beckinsale in Roberto Cavalli

Jessica Biel in lace Elie Saab

This was such a peaceful dress worn by Jessica Biel, i felt like this is what a bride from the 20's would wear; lace, creamy colored, not too revealing (at least the top part :) ). True vintage. 

Berenice Bejo in a strapless Gucci

Emma Stone in Lanvin

I truly appreciate Emma Stone's sense of fashion, although this was not one of the best dresses she was in (in my opinion), but her overall style and fashion risk management are quite amazing. In this dress, I feel she's very 'Volturi' like (yes, i'm very Twilight cultured).

Some of the dresses that i found interesting in some way or another:

Sarah Michelle Gellar in abstract Monique Lhuillier 

 This was one interesting piece, very artistic. Not Golden Globe red carpet material, very risky but the colors, the abstract theme on the dress is very strong and beautiful. It belongs to an art gallery, so it deserves its true recognition.

Georgina Chapman in Marchesa 

 A Grecian goddess dress, the flow of the dress makes me happy along with the beautiful golden detail. This dress was worn 4 months ago by Olivia Wilde, which also looked amazing on her (A popular pick!)

Heidi Klum in custom Calvin Klein

 A very 'in the steps' of Emma Stone's Calvin Klein number last year, i like the dress' color, shape..does not feel like it's golden globe material. But the turquoise necklace is definitely a great addition.

Natalie Portman in custom made  Lanvin

 I feel this could be a modern Geisha look.

Lea Michelle in Marchesa 

And..Angelina Jolie ruled the red carpet looking so glamorous..

Angelina Jolie in Versace 

 Now for the misses..no personal issues whatsoever (except in the case of Kelly Osbourne..i hope she dyes her hair to anything but grey)

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior Couture 

 This dress reminds me of when i was young and we would grab a blanket and try and make a dress out of it..Sorry Charlize..Sorry Dior.

Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen

 Nothing is appealing about this dress..material, box sleeves, the cut..I haven't seen the Fashion Police special for the Golden Globes, but I am hoping Joan Rivers had things to say about the above malfunction.

Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen 

 I think it's the Zac Posen that needs to be hated for the Golden Globes..again..the material..

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann

Tilda Swinton in anything but a dress.

My last note is on Debra Messing's choice..Debra wore a black Monique Lhuillier dress that i felt looks similar to the Keira Knightley's dress by Vera Wang 2006

I see a resemblance..somehow :)

Happy red carpet!

ppl's choice awards 2012

It's red carpet season and i get so excited to see all the pretty celebrities glammed up for so many different occasions *puts on critique glasses*
People's Choice Awards got me going! The truth is that i expected more from all the dresses that made an appearance on the red carpet, but not a bad start 2012.
I also voted for both Nina Dobrev and Hugh Jackman and I got to witness my own vote count and see them win *hurraaaaaay*
So red carpet fashion, let's see what we've got! *drums roll*

Favorite dress of the night was worn by Lucy Hale, a beautiful LBD with a long sash by Cengiz Abazoglu, there were also some interesting pieces worn by Demi Lovato, Vanessa Hudgens; a very spidermanish web pattern, Ashley Benson and Lea Michele.

Vanessa Hudgens in a halterneck Fall 11 Jenny Packham

Ashley Benson in Alice + Olivia Spring 2012 dress

Lea Michele in a one of a kind Marchesa Spring 2012 all  fringe dress

Lea Michele's pick was very interesting and she pulled it off well. I feel that the dress was a 1920's inspiration and out of The Great Gatsby wardrobe. I also remembered Rebecca; Clause's sister from The Vampire Diaries.
And the risk taker for the night is no one other than pretty Emma Stone, I think she rocked it with her choice; beautiful and screams Emma, as I can see no one other than her pulling it off on such a special night.

Loved the leather and lace combination, worn by Ashley Greene, looking like a true Vampire. And Kaley Cuoco delicate choice although I feel it was a bit formal for the event.

Kaley Couco in Badgley Mischka Spring 2012 dress

Did not like Ginnifer Goowin's dress, it felt like she wasn't comfortable in it as well, could've done a lot better.  The dress was too pink, too long (sleeves as well) and didn't feel neat on the collarbone.

Goodwin in Roksanda llincic Spring 2012 dress

Favorite pic of the night was definitely of Hugh Jackman, had to share!

Looking forward to more red carpet appearances!
