Part 2 of my Golden Globe red carpet round up…
If there was one set of ladies I was looking forward to seeing at this awards show, it was the Glee ladies [surprise, surprise].
Dianna Agron’s Giles gown, much like Emma Stone, was the cause of many headaches for me. One on hand, I don’t think there is any actress as stunning looking as Dianna, her hair and make up was flawless; the gown itself is gorgeous with it’s sculptured swan design on the bodice and intricate lace tiered cutouts. This look should be a match made in heaven, but something just doesn’t sit right with me. Maybe it’s the fit? Or her height? Or maybe the tiers just don’t sit right? Either way I’ve spent way too much time trying to convince myself that this look was incredible, but when you compare it to last year’s Golden Globe’s look? I hate to say it but it’s only…okay [God it kills me to say that]
Lea Michele seemed to have co-ordinated with her co-star [but let’s not get into Faberry/Achele on this blog]. Lea glittered in a very risque Marchesa gown with an amazing embroidered bodice. She looked amazing, kept jewellery and styling simple. The dress speaks for itself here.
Amber Riley and Naya Rivera were the only other two Glee girls in attendance on the red carpet this year. Amber blew me away here in Badgley Mischka, simple, red hot and fabulous. Naya tried something a little different in a high collar Vera Wang gown. This is probably the best shot of it, which I think says something about her choice here. Naya has a bold and brash personality and I wish her dress choice was so…well dull. Kudos to her for stepping out of the box, but try a little harder next time Naya.
A surprise favourite for me was Evan Rachel Wood. Her peacock inspired Gucci Premiere gown was pretty break-taking, from the plunging neckline, to the shimmering fish scales down towards the feathered tail. Just like a peacock she strutted the red carpet with her head held high with minimal make up. Beautiful!
It wasn’t all about the acting talent on the night. Madonna picked up an award for Best Original Song for her film W.E in a Reem Acra gown. The gowns something a little different for the singer and it’s not as horrendous as some of the other red carpet photos made it out to look. I’m glad I found this photo though, my one gripe about her styling was the fingerless black glove on her right hand [conveniently hidden behind her skirt here].
Blue was a big trend this year, but there was more than one way of working it. Kelly Osbourne was covering the red carpet in a Zac Posen fishtail gown that was awfully crumpled, the gown itself is lovely but don’t get me started on her hair! Wash it out Kelly!
Michelle Williams is certainly going out of her way to distance herself from her on screen portrayal of Marilyn Monroe, here in a midnight blue Jason Wu gown. The print is a nice change for Michelle, who usually goes for more minimal styles but it was kinda ‘meh’ compared to past looks.
You can always count on Tilda Swinton to grab the attention on the red carpet in a pale blue Haider Ackermann gown. The only other person I can see pulling this look off is Rooney Mara or Cate Blancett, you need to be statuesque to work this look. Some may hate on the dress but Tilda is never one to conform with a pretty princess dress for awards season and this look is completely her own.
One lady I was very dissppointed with was Mila Kunis, which is a complete turnaround from her impressive run at last year’s awards show. Attending just to host is no excuse to pick a boring Dior dress Mila, you’re shrinking into the background! I’m praying she gets her mojo back soon [fingers crossed]
Young Hollywood was noticably missing from this year’s Golden Globes but was nicely represented by Shailene Woodley and Ariel Winter. Shailene kept it minimal is a sleek Marchesa gown, whereas Ariel looked adorable in a purple Dolce & Gabbana dress black bow pumps.
