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

2006 Keira Knightley in Vera Wang

I see a resemblance..somehow :)

Happy red carpet!
