Part two of my Golden Globe Awards red carpet round up!
Emily Blunt embraced the spirit of the Golden Globes in a gorgeous, golden Michael Kors gown. Between the cut out panelling, the sleek up-do and the pop of colour from her earrings this is a really great look for her.
The next look came as a surprise. Who are you and what have you done with Nicole Kidman? My jaw hit the floor when I saw Nicole in her Alexander McQueen gown. Yes it’s black but the detailing under the bust and the neckline keep my interest and I love the styling here.
A trio of ladies in the ‘No, must do better’ pile for me next. Kelly Osbourne wore a in pale green Zac Posen gown which itself is ok, but matched with the god-awful un-matchable hair colour she has at the moment. For someone who’s supposedly a member of the fashion police, she’s not living up to her sartorial reputation of late.
After looking quite lovely at the PCA’s Kaley Cuoco ruined a perfectly good look with just one swipe of a lipstick. Unlike Julianne Hough her Zuhair Murad gown is totally overshadowed by her dark/gothic make-up – had this been paired with Taylor Swift’s gown I may have given it a pass. Bad move Kaley.
And finally Halle Berry in a tropical print Atelier Versace gown. While I’ll applaud her efforts to bring some colour, her whole look is seriously outdated at the moment. I don’t think I’ve seen anything different, from styling to hair to make up, from her since the early 2000’s.
As always there are some women who just keep looking fabulous no matter what their age. Helen Mirren was a knock out, as always, in a sleek black Badgley Mischka gown with gold detailing. It’s actually a very similar design to Emily Blunt’s but minus the panelling, but she looks just as amazing.
Veteran actress Sally Field looked wonderfully elegant in a dark navy Alberta Ferretti gown adorned with diamond jewels. Simple styling is key to making this look beautiful.
Taylor Swift pulls another one out of the bag in a dark Donna Karen gown. I adore this colour on Taylor and the subtle hint a skin with the dark panel running up the thigh, this probably the most mature look we’ve seen on her and it’s wonderful seeing her branch out from her usual bejewelled gowns and red lips.
On the flipside is the beautifully bubbly Ariel Winter. She wore a brightly patterned Valentino mini, with a full skirt. Event and age appropriate, Ariel both looks so grown up yet never too old for her age.
After three years of reigning supreme on the Golden Globe red carpet the cast of Glee seemed greatly diminished this year – judging by their instagrams most of them had hit the ski slopes instead lol. With my style queen Dianna Agron noticeably absent my faith was resting on one Lea Michelle to rep my babies at the event. She definitely delivered stunning embellished white Elie Saab gown with emerald jewels, my only gripe? Has Rachel Berry gone a bit spray tan crazy because Lea looks a little on the orange side here…hmmm
I’ll count her just because I’m running low on McKinley cast members, but Kate Hudson also attended the event wearing a high neck keyhole gown by Alexander McQueen. I actually really love this look but just wish she’d have pulled back her hair a little so we can see that gorgeous shoulder detailing too!
A high profile event like this wouldn’t be complete without a couple of diva-ish looks would it? Heidi Klum went all out model in a blinding white gown by Alexandre Vauthier with a thigh high split.
Then Ms Jenny-from-the-block herself, Jennifer Lopez arrived in a skin tight nude gown by Zuhair Murad, with lace detailing to cover her modesty.
Katharine McPhee certainly has put her wholesome American Idol days and is embracing her inner Marilyn sex goddess in daring Theyskens’ Theory gown, complete with plunging neckline and thigh high split. It’s sleek, it’s fashion forward and totally hot.
Clare Danes also went for a red hot look in a simple Atelier Versace gown with loose hair, love the draping on the gown.
Anne Hathaway’s Les Mis co-star, Amanda Seyfried, also went for a pure white look in a white lace Givenchy dress. The detailing is so subtle but makes for a wonderfully put together gown.
Naomi Watts went for darker shade in a deep burgundy body con gown by Zac Posen with keyhole detailing around the bust and a simple retro updo.
Adding some pops of colour to the red carpet crowds were Rosario Dawson and Marion Cotillard. Rosario went for a sky blue Antonio Beradi dress with ever the popular peplum detailing, they way this hugs her latina figure is amazing.
In true artisan style Marion went for an unpredictable orange dress from Christian Dior with slicked back hair. Matching pumps and barely there make up style up what could’ve been a rather dull look.
It was all about taking risks for the next two actresses. Kerry Washington, like Rachel Weisz, went for a sheer midi dress, this time in nude Miu Miu with embroidery and embellishment detailing. This look suits her to a ‘t’ and is well paired with her nude pumps.
Olivia Munn went for a rather relaxed Georgio Armani gown with a patterned top and sleek black hair.
Woman of the night, Jodie Foster, debuted a ‘Wintour’-inspired blunt bob with a blue hued Georgio Armani gown. But what really got my attention was her pure confidence as she stood up on that podium declaring she was here loud and proud. Bravo Ms Foster!
What were your favourite looks at the event? Are there any looks you weren’t as keen on?
