January marks the starts of the glittering awards season in the world of showbiz and arguably the best event to kick it off is the Golden Globe Awards. This year’s red carpet was a bit of a roller-coaster ride when it came who wore it best with some new favourites emerging and some old favourites falling short.
Anyone who follows me on Twitter will know I had a bit of an internal dilemma when it came to picking a definite favourite at the awards. But after I slept on it I think it was clear that Emma Stone stole the show for me. She look sensational in a deep purple Lanvin gown and smoky make up. I had a feeling of de-ja vu, but when you looks this good who really cares right?
Two Hollywood veterans who really impressed me this time was Angelina Jolie and Kate Winslet, both proof that no matter what your age or size you can look amazing. Angelina stepped out in Atelier Versace and, like last year, shunned her black red carpet uniform for a cream gown with a thigh high split. Kate was just as stunning in a figure hugging Jenny Packham gown. Well done ladies!
This gown caused me a lot of stress last night, Zooey Deschanel hit the red carpet in a custom made Prada gown. From the front the gown looks a little ill fitted around the waistline and the flow from the embellishment to the satin doesn’t seem to work; but the back detail and embellishment on the front is stunning! Lime green might not be to everyone’s taste but it’s nice seeing Zooey out of her comfort zone of vintage tea dresses. One thing I do love is her hair and make up, very 60’s movie siren.
Three women making some pretty dramatic entrances to the awards were Piper Perabo, Charlize Theron and Sarah Michelle Gellar, in Theyskens Theory, Dior and Monique Lhuilier respectively.
Starting with Piper, the gown itself is gorgeous but I’m definitely left thinking she’s not tall enough to pull it off. The top half looks great on her but the skirt looks almost impossible to walk in.
Charlize brought some great Hollywood glamour with her gown, on anyone else it would’ve look very costume-y but she worked that gown so well.
Sarah Michelle Gellar was a surprise, her gown was one of my favourites from this collection but it’s a gown that demands someone with a big personality to wear it. And as much as I love her as an actress [hello Buffy fan here!] I’d probably love it more on someone like Dianna Agron or Katy Perry.
Bringing some va va voom to the red carpet were Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen and Sophia Vergara in Vera Wang, both in stunning figure hugging fish tail gowns.
One lady I know will be dividing opinions during this awards season is Rooney Mara. The relative newbie stepped out in a simple plunging Nina Ricci gown. I will give the girl some credit for managing her hairdo since filming ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ but I think this will be a look that grows on me. I’m hoping she steps up to become the Hailee Steinfeld/Jennifer Lawrence of this awards season and will grow into her style every time we see her.
Keep an eye out for my next part!
