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.

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.

Golden Globe Fashions-- Who Sparkled on the Red Carpet?

And now, five days later than I wanted it to be, and without further ado, I present my best dressed list from the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. I will do it in no particular order, and as always, I will not discuss those whose dresses did not hit the mark, those who near missed, and those who missed all together. This will be a positive list--- seven strong and sexy women who sparkled at the Globes.

Now, those who read this blog know that I am not a big fan of Sofia Vergara. Unlike most, her accent is not cute to me. However, I must admit that her dress and accessories were amazing for the Globes. In a sophisticated full black Zac Posen princess style gown, Sofia dared to add a pop or color with an aqua colored Lorainne Schwartz necklace.

Not many people talked about Sofia's costar Julie Bowen, but I will. Julie made a daring choice and it paid off big time. I love the color blocking going on in this Carolina Herrera gown. It looks like two pieces, but it's really one, and it's done seamlessly. I especially love the detail at her waist and how it's a slightly different color than the top and bottom. Her hair is also effortlessly light looking, the style suits her.

Cate Blanchett was elegant in Armani Prive. The detail in the dress is exquisite, especially around the neck. What I like most about the dress is the sheer quality to it, there's also a sheen that makes her sparkle.

What pickle? I really want to know who called the beautiful Olivia Wilde a pickle. I loved her Gucci dress, and I always thinks it's a brave when a woman who is with child attends an event like this. I love this shade of green on her, and I love that the dress is still sexy. I love her curves and I love the simplicity of her hair, it works well with the dress, and did anyone see those heels?

Simple and classic, I could almost always describe Reese Witherspoon this way. She did not fair to impress this year with a light turquoise colored Calvin Klein Collection gown. What I liked even more than Reese's dress was her new hairdo. She looks normal, I think the average woman can look at Reese here and aspire to look like that.

Looking modern Ava Gardner-esque, Kate Beckinsale was flawless at 40 in a Zuhair Murad gown. I can't even believe she's 40; look at her beautiful skin, she is glowing! What do I love about this dress? The detail, the metallic quality of it, the color is gorgeouis (my word for gorgeous!) with her skin and hair color, I also love the way it flares at the bottom. To be honest, this dress and Julianna's dress (up next!) were my two favorite of the night.

Forever the epitome of true beauty defined, Julianna Margulies was a vision in a black Andrew Gn dress with metallic gold detail at the bottom and the shoulders. The gold detail in the dress, along with the earrings, and her side swept bangs really make the look complete. I feel like those are the parts of this look that made it come together. Julianna understands style, but more importantly, she understands well, what looks good on her. This was my other favorite look of the night.

On to the Grammy's and Oscar's! 

2013 Oscar Fashions: My Picks!

This year the beautiful gowns were either one extreme or the other on the color wheel. The ladies were all wearing either very pale tones or bright pops of color. Overall, most people got it right, particularly the ladies, and as usual, I'll only show you who got it right, we need not focus on the faux pas or the negative, just the positive. I would also like to note right here that

Jennifer Lawrence won her first Oscar at 22 in a pale pink Dior Couture. It fit her figure well, so many women wear that type of dress with the fitted top and it doesn't fit properly, but this did.

 

Jessica Chastain looked absolutely stunning in a gold Giorgio Armani gown that fit her like a glove. What tied everything together was her auburn hair and her clean, simple, makeup. 

Amy Adams looked so princess-like in her pale purple Oscar De La Renta gown, her hair was perfect with her dress, I loved how the dress was so light looking and flowy. 

 

Reese Witherspoon's cobolt blue Louis Vuitton gown with black detail, including a bow, at the top, was simple, yet sexy. Her hair was old Hollywood, and the touches of jewelry were just right. 

Charlize Theron was one of my personal favorites in a white Dior Haute Couture, her hair, everything, she looked white hot.

Jennifer Aniston looked like fire last night in a red Valentino gown. I know a lot of people criticized the puffiness of the dress, but I thought it looked beautiful on her, especially knowing her figure. 

One of the best dressed couples of the night was Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum. If anyone knows what designer Jenna was wearing please let me know because she looked gorgeous. 

Halle Berry channeled her inner Bond girl and looked Studio 54 sexy in an eye catching Versace gown. I feel like Halle is one of those women who never ages. 

Octavia Spencer was angelic in a pale yellow Tadashi Shoji gown. The details were divine, her shoulders looked great with the sheer overlay at the top partnered with pretty bead work. She made being an Oscar winner from last year look mighty good.

Jennifer Garner glowed with husband Ben Affleck by her side in an eggplant Gucci gown. The dress was beautifully fitted in the front with lots of ruffles and a short train in the back. Great jewelry and hair were the finishing touches on this polished, yet fun, look.

George Clooney's girlfriend Stacy Keibler rocked a fitted black and silver Naeem Khan gown. If you think the front of it was a sight to behold, you should see the back. Her hair looked awesome partnered with the dress and her whole attitude. 

Last but not, least, a star in the making-- Quvenzhane Wallis looked adorable in a navy Armani gown and a puppy purse. The beauty of this is that she actually looked like a child which is what she is. It was so heart warming to see.
