GOLDEN GLOBES FASHION: Hits and Misses

Heya Guys! I know this post is a little kinda late, but I still wanna share though my two-cents (not that I insist it matters-LOL) on the recent Golden Globes Red Carpet.

Oh yes, the awards season has finally started, with Golden Globes kickin' off the series of red carpet events, leading all the way t the holy grail of red carpet fashion--The Oscars!

While Mama Rachel Zoe and her team might be on full alert dead busy now, scouting and finding the perfect gown for their clients, I sit here comfy in the comfort of my bedroom couch playing fashion police as celebs go down the red carpet.

So, here is my list for the BEST DRESSED Celebs:

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace. Brad Pitt in Salvatore Ferragamo.
Lola Angelina looked like a Goddess in all angles. Kinda feeling a bit Valentine-y though. :)

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior Couture. I like the cut of the gown, it made Charlize look 10 years younger than her age. 

Kate Beckinsale in Roberto Cavalli. I love the color and the cut of the gown. Very regal, very luxe. 

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci. She always looks spot-on in black dresses. And I love it that she stayed with her black hair even after filming "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo".

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. This cut of gown totally suits her body. All the right curves accentuated, and the hair just totally made the look very elegant.

Hands down, Tilda Swinton is the BEST DRESSED that evening. I love her Haider Ackermann gown with that blazer. And the color just compliments her skin tone and hair. She always ALWAYS rock the red carpet, and no doubt about that.


SIMMERING. They may not be the stand-out, but they still managed to keep themselves pleasant and presentable:

Natalie Portman in Lanvin. I love the bold color, but the draping on the rear side is kinda putting me off slightly. Nevertheless, she pulls it off so it's okay. She looked heavenly, by the way. 

Speaking of heavenly, Jessica Biel in Elie Saab Couture looks like a ghost from heaven. Her sheer lace dress in amazing! Not a fan of the hair though.

Kate Winslet in Jenny Packham. Simple and sophisticated. She looked kinda heavy though. 

Zoey Deschanel in Prada. I totally love the dress. I was kinda confused though with the hair. We sure love Zoey and her bangs, but that much volume is a bit too scary. Really.

Viola Davis in Emilio Pucci. The dress could have been another boring dress yet Viola carried it so well, and her whole look made it work. I love the hair, the clutch, and the slit. Plus, the color of the dress is just perfect---very age appropriate, very sophisticated, not too bold but definitely just the right amount of color to make a statement. If only she wore a different and more slimming pair of shoes though...


And now the WORST DRESSED stars of the night:

Claire Danes in J. Mendel. This is actually not a bad BAD red carpet look, but the hair, the make-up and the dress just didn't match at all. And please, please... can someone please tell Calire to stop wearing bare-back dresses coz she CAN NOT pull it off. 

I love Emma Stone, but her dress is just too matronly looking. This Lanvin dress just aged her 20 years. Wrong color, wrong cut, wrong accessories (the belt is just wrong, and the shoes are just terribly ugly).

Frieda Pinto in Prada. Sorry, the volume of the dress just didn't really work. Plus the gown looked so stiff and heavy. 

I am a huge fan of Marchesa but this dress was just totally ruined by Lea Michelle. It looked frumpy, tacky and cheap. On this case, it's not the dress' fault, it's the one wearing it. Before you Gleeks out there react, imagine the dress on someone else, like her contemporaries like Nina Dobrev or Blake Lively, and you will realize I am right.

Mila Kunis in Christian Dior. Never did I ever thought that someone like Mila who is always fierce and exciting, will ever look boring especially on the red carpet. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the epitome of THE PERFECT BORING DRESS.

Sarah Michelle Gellar may be wearing the creation of Filipino Designer Monique Lhuiller, but that won't make the fact that this look is a disaster. Seriously, if you want to be a trainwreck on the red carpet, tie-dye a gazillion yards of fabric and make it into a gown. That's it.

And to cap off the list, THE WORST DRESSED celebrity of the night is obviously Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen. While the look is a reminiscent of Imelda Marcos in her heyday, the fit and cut of the gown didn't do any good to Kelly's already problematic fashion sense. And the hair is just so ghastly... OMG, very ugly I cannot even contain. LOL
