Golden Globes Glamour! 2015 Styles

Head turners galore at this year's Golden Globes but very few stood out --- here are my picks for the top ten best dressed in no order.

Amy Adams looked simply lovely in a pastel blue Versace gown. I love that it is tailored at the waist and with one shoulder, and the color of the dress compliments her hair color.


Camila Alves looked pretty in a blush colored Monique Lhuillier dress with a ruffled top. I don't think everyone can pull off a dress shaped like this. It would look like a garbage bag or potato sack on most people, but on Camila it's a dream.

  L
Gina Rodriguez was a winner in more ways than one, she won Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Jane the Virgin, and she was stunning in a black Badgley Miska gown. Black is a classic and it's always in still but the extra detail on the bottom of the gown is what set it apart from say, the black dress Jennifer Aniston wore.


Jenna Dewan Tatum and Naomi Watts were both wearing the "it" Spring/ Summer '15 color. I love that they took a risk not wearing something basic it really paid off for both of them. Jenna was wearing an electric yellow Carolina Herrera gown. It has a cascading ruffled top and a short train, it's the dress that's detailed yet simple, and she pulls off that color with her dark hair and eyes.


Jennifer Lopez looks good always and Golden Globes night was no exception. She never tries too hard, and she wears the appropriate clothes for the appropriate event. She is also someone who proves that you don't have to show tons of skin to look good and age is nothing but a number. This woman is ageless, in fact, she looks as good as she ever did. She's wearing an art deco Zuhair Murad dress, Jennifer admitted that the dress was heavy with all the beading, but it looks great on her.


Jessica Chastain was wearing another fashion trend of the night, metallics, and that was a trend we saw on several Golden Globes attendees. Jessica wore a custom bronze metallic Atelier Versace gown. This does look like it was made for her; the color looks absolutely gorgeous with her skin tone and hair color.


Kate Beckinsale is one of those ladies who never doesn't look good. She's so well put together, and this time around she was one of the best dressed in a grey-beige Elie Saab gown. I love how the top is beaded and fitted, and the neckline is just the right amount of sexy.



Katie Holmes cleans up nice. She doesn't make many appearances, but when she does, she looks good. Ever the woman who goes for a clean, simple look, Katie's hair is in a tight ponytail, she's wearing minimal jewelry and her gown is a gorgeous shade of purple. Her strapless Marchesa gown drapes perfectly and evokes royalty.



Naomi Watts is wearing a chartreuse Gucci strapless gown. I initially thought only brunettes could pull off this color, but Naomi wears it beautifully, and her necklace compliments the neckline of the dress. Naomi is another woman who rarely shows up to an event not looking good. The belt breaks up the gown well and the red lipstick gives it even more pop.



Reese Witherspoon went with the metallic fashion trend and she looks stunning. Her custom metallic strapless beaded dress by one of my personal favorite designers, Calvin Klein makes me jealous; oh to have a dress like this! I love that Reese did not add a necklace to it because I think it would have spoiled that gorgeous neckline. Her hair and eyes set the dress off perfectly, and she is just glowing. She might be my favorite of this event.

Did the Right Person Win So You Think You Can Dance Season 8?

It's been several weeks since the finale of So You Think You Can Dance aired and Season 8 came to a close. Looking back over my notes for the season, I felt the need to wrap things up nicely for those of you who enjoyed hearing about all my favorite routines over the course of the season.

Marko, Melanie, Sasha, and Tadd danced in the finale this year, arguably the strongest four dancers to ever dance in a finale. Each one of these dancers is a triple threat in their own right, and I am almost certain that we will see them dancing in videos, going on tour with entertainers, and acting on Broadway.

The Final 4: 8.10.11

My favorite routines from the finale:

Tadd and Season 4 Winner Joshua Allen danced a hip hop routine choreographed by Lil C, music was Hustle Hard by Ace Hood-- Mary said you did enough to produce a hard hitting hip hop number. Guest judge Kenny Ortega thought the pairing was perfect and they played off each other perfectly. Guest judge Katie Holmes said I completely bought it, you guys were amazing. Lil C, I loved it.
This was definitely my favorite hard hitting hip hop of the season. Tadd definitely proved that although he didn't win the season, he deserved to be here.

Melanie and Season 7's Robert Roldan danced a contemporary routine choreographed by Stacey Tookey, music was Sacrifice by Sinead O'Conner-- Kenny said I would push myself to the front of the line to work with you my darling. Katie said, Melanie, thank you for all your work, you and Robert were magical. Mary said you just have this captivating capability.
It's been hard to not like Melanie this season, she really loves and has a passion for dance. I suppose you could say the same of other dancers in the competition as well. Hearing after the finale was over that Melanie and Marko practiced more than any other couple over the course of the season made me respect Melanie even more. Knowing that every time she came out and danced that she wanted to dance her best for everyone watching her made me see that dance carries meaning with her.

Melanie and Tadd danced a jazz routine choreographed Ray Leeper, music was Show Me What You're Working With by Sister Monica-- Nigel said, Melanie you were stunning and Tadd, you totally redeemed yourself. Kenny told Melanie that she brings theater to everything she does and her chemistry with Tadd was exceptional. Katie said it was so fun to watch and the characters were great. Mary said, Tadd, redemption is the best medicine, and Melanie, you strut like no one else.
This routine was like a cherry on top of a sundae, such a delight to watch.

4th Tadd
3rd Marko
2nd Sasha
WINNER Melanie



I want to congratulate all the dancers on an amazing season. I don't personally know a lot about dance: I don't even dance myself, but every year, I learn more watching the show. Dancing to me is a true expression of one's inner emotions, and requires great athleticism, grace, and physical stamina. I cannot imagine being as unbelievably talented as these dancers are. They are truly blessed with a gift.

So did the right person win So You Think You Can Dance? Weigh in below and comment...
I would have been happy with any of the final four winning, calling me diplomatic if you wish.
