Without any doubt the best looking lady of the evening was the best comedy actress Toni Collette, who turned from duckling into swan in her stunning Elie Saab (my favourite designer) golden dress. Then comes Drew Barrymore who was looking better than ever in her sensational Versace beaded gown. Kate Winslet oozed elegance as always, Fergie and Sigourney wore some lovely colours, although Fergie would have looked better with a better hairdo, Felicity Huffman had an amazing dress while Christina Hendricks managed to emphasize her seductive curves in the most flattering way. Lauren Graham's gown matched perfectly with her porcelain tan, while British rose Leona Lewis looked like a flower in her lilac dress. Mariah Carey has managed to squeeze her stunning body in that tight little number which took both her and our breath away.
The freak of the evening was Julia Roberts looking like she dressed up for beach, but she never had any style to start with. Nicole Kidman didn't shine with the bad make-up and horrible dress,
while Chloe Sevigny looked like she was swallowed up by ginormous ruffles. Cameron Diaz and Diane Kruger wore items which cannot be defined nor described. And who were the best looking gentlemen of the evening. Young Chase Crawford looking dashing in his modern suit and Scottish hunk Gerard Butler looking handsome in his classic outfit. So what did you think, who were your fashion favourites? Fell in love with anyone's dress or suit? Got nightmares from anyone's freakish appearance?
Kate Winslet. Classic talent, classic dress.

Hey, Elspeth, yep, I don't think Kate has ever disappointed us at the red carpet, she's always the true English rose!
ReplyDeleteKate Winslet ALWAYS looks amazing. I thought Reese looked great as well. SO happy Robert Downey Jr. won for Sherlock and that Sandra won for The Blind Side! Great Globes this year...I hope Ricky Gervais hosts something else soon. He cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for Toni and Meryl. Haven't seen Reese though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked the red carpet, but from your picks Dez: I like most of your top ten (dresses) more or less, except the one on Hendricks. That thing out front is so big it looks like a humpback, just not on her back but on her hip. Also, I was never a big fan of asymmetric, one shoulder dresses.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the other end... well... maybe Kidman's dress was the least objectionable among that bunch.
Men's "fashion", as always, is nothing if not predictable. And as such not worth any real commentary. Suits worn by Crawford and Butler were both good (like 95% others). But there's no real difference between them in terms of modern and classic. Both suits/styles are as old as me. If you could swap older-younger men in them, would you still say Butler (now) sports modern look, and Crawford has classic one? I don't think so.
Toni Colette was beautiful! Good choice!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I've noticed all men were mesmerized by Catherine Hendricks' looks and I don't think any of those male members of the audience was looking at her ruffles and frills but more on some upper protruded assets of hers :)
ReplyDeleteAnd when it comes to men's fashion, what makes the difference are ties :)
Yes, Chantale, Toni was the shiniest star of the evening :) both looks and talents!
"The freak of the evening"? lol, never heard you talk like that before... (Now giggling)
ReplyDeleteGood choices. My favorite was Kate Winslet's dress.
I have never understood why some actresses pick some of the strangest dresses, trying to look the most glamorous and achieving the exact opposite of what they intended. Beautiful women always look good in simple and classic clothes and it's always the way to go in my opinion. If you are not blessed with good looks, it's still the way to go lol
ReplyDeleteI'm rambling
Kate Winslet is a classic act. Glad to see Drew is shaping up too.
ReplyDeleteI thought that Reese Witherspoon looked amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe colour of Reese's gown was amazing (although I think she already wore that dark blue shade on her before)but it lacked some special detail or a more glamorous hairdo.
ReplyDeleteWinslet really did look amazing, one of the few actresses with a good hair as well.
How bout your outfit on that glamorous night Dezmy?
ReplyDeleteI wore the invisible suit off course :PPP
ReplyDeletei know, emily blunt could have been better. many were underwhelming for me. hopefully the oscars will be more exciting! chase looked hot. loved the pocket square.
ReplyDeleteyep, not much creativity at the red carpet this year, let's hope Oscars will bring more dazzle and less rain :)) Chase was great, and Sam Worthington as well, I forgot to mention him.
