Below are a few of my favourites and a few which I thought were nice despite it being a bit blah.
Loves.
Is it any surprise that Angelina Jolie’s gorgeous red & nude dress by Atelier Versace would be a favourite? The stunning cut, the appropriate slit, the perfect folded red lapel, everything is just perfect! Coupled with Jolie’s slick back hair, red lips and red clutch. This definitely has to be my favourite dress of the lot!
While it may seem a tad Chinese New Year-ish to some people, I personally rather like it! I love the cut outs on the top, the tiers at the bottom. I love it’s gorgeous firecracker red. Frankly, I think this dress by Giles Deacon on Dianna Agron is simply stunning. I like how it stands out from the rest of the dresses.
Am loving the shade of purple this Dolce & Gabbana dress is in! I love how Ariel Winter looked in this lovely purple ballerina-like dress, I do find the dress wearing her a little instead of her wearing the dress, but I think it’s still a good choice. The dress is young & fun, perfect for someone her age.
Lea Michele is looking absolutely sexy & stunning in this silver Marchesa number. I love that it’s sheer on top with silver patterns all over, covering up the appropriate bits and I love the silver train on the dress. It’s a very liquid silver look, and I must say Lea wears it well.
This dress somehow reminds me a of a viper, albeit a rather feathery viper at the bottom, but a viper nonetheless. I think it’s just the unique shade of gold/green that is the dress and how it hugs then flares out at the bottom. Not a shade I’ve seen often and Evan Rachel Wood really manages to pull off this Gucci dress well.
I like how Kelly Osbourne manages to pull off this edgy Zac Posen dress. I like how the dress itself is edgy but Zac Posen decided to tone it down with a simple shade of blue. However, what I don’t like is Kelly’s hair with the dress. Unless her goal was looking like a vampire, in which case I think she succeeded quite well.
Sarah Michelle Gellar in an ocean blue and white Monique Lhuillier dress. What absolutely struck me about this dress is the bright ocean blue and the way it’s painted. I love how it looks like a brushstrokes by a painter and how it reminds me of the crushing waves of the clear blue sea.
Not a dress I would normally wear, but I do like how it’s a mermaid cut below with a fitted jacket on top. I like how the waist of the jacket is pulled fitted with a chiffon material that goes well with the chiffon in the skirt. Also, I don’t quite think anyone else would be able to pull this Haider Ackerman dress off as well as Tilda Swinton.
Like, but don’t love.
I like how this dress is really simple. It’s a classic black all over, with a simple one-shoulder and a lovely full drape skirt. The dress itself isn’t too wow or outstanding, but in all it’s simplicity it’s really very pretty. I also like how Debra Messing kept everything really, really simple in this Monique Lhuillier gown.
A pristine white dress by Maria Lucia Hohan. I love the slight train at the back of the dress, the backless-ness of the dress and the way the straps just fit on to Kathleen Robertson’s shoulders. Another simple dress, that is lovely. While simple dresses are really nice & lovely, I find that I always prefer the edgier, more elaborate ones. Hence why these few dresses are in the Like, but not love section.
There were quite a number of nude dresses that night at the Golden Globes, but I frankly like this Donna Karan one that Katharine McPhee the best. It’s not floor length like all the dresses there, it’s got a nice simple fitted cut and i love the slightly layered, shin length mermaid hem that it has. Another thing to note, is the subtle, shimmery leaf-like detailing on the dress.
If it was not for the dress being in shimmery bright yellow, I don’t think I would like it very much. What really makes this simple Blumarine dress unique is the shade. While Maria Menounos does make the dress look good, on it’s own I don’t think this dress would be particularly spectacular. But as I said, I love the colour!
Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. I like how Sofia said that she liked Vera Wang because, she zips and it closes! She doesn’t have to go for fitting after fitting to just get it to fit right. With a banging body like Sofia, who wouldn’t wanna dress her! While I personally am not a fan of navy blue, I will make an exception to this dress. I love the way it hugs Sofia’s body and I just love the bottom detailing of the dress, I bet when she walks she’ll look like she’s gliding!
While I like the colour of Natalie Portman’s Lanvin dress, I wasn’t too crazy about the cut itself. I like the folded bust area in a different shade of magenta, but other than that the dress itself just doesn’t do much for me. While Shailene Woodley’s Marchesa dress has a really interesting design across the bust all the way down to her hips, the dress itself does look very ethereal but it’s still a bit blah for me. Nicole Kidman’s Versacec dress has patterns that are no doubt interesting and different and she looks really good in it, I still find it interesting and different but not outstanding. I like how it reminds me of goddesses in the olden times.
Pretty, but blah.
Nice shade, nice slit, nice flow of chiffon but nothing too interesting or great. A pretty dress, that’s a bit blah. Emma Stone in Lanvin.
With Heidi Klum being known for her crazy, different outfits (especially for Halloween!) I found this nude Calvin Klein dress with turquoise neck detailing immensely blah for her. We want something more!
Mila Kunis, I love the dress, I love the different lengths in the chiffon but girl this Dior dress is making you look a little short and frumpy. You can do so much better than that!
Kate Beckinsale I find has always chose to wear rather safe options. Lovely, but safe options. Like this pale, nude Roberto Cavalli dress. I love her jewellery, I love the sparkles in her dress, I love the chiffon flows in the dress but to me, it’s nothing spectacular. Another pretty but blah dress.
Elle Macpherson in Zac Posen. The dress itself no doubt is lovely, the tiers at the bottom is just crazy! But I find that it’s too much of a wedding dress to be worn on the runway. Not something I would wear to my wedding, but I’d consider it as one of the outfit changes. :)
Indifferent.
Jessica Alba in Gucci. Elizabeth McGovern in Jacques Azagury (she’s not 50! Is she?). Salma Hayek in Gucci.
Livia Giuggioli in Armani (gown made out of recycled bottles!). Kristen Wiig in Bill Blass. Sharon Osbourne.
Kayte Walsh. Paula Patton in Monique Lhuillier. Charlize Theron in Dior (at least she was being considerate this time and decided to put her giant bow LOWER!).
Julie Bowen in Christian Dior. Madonna in Reem Acra.
Zooey Deschanel in Prada.
And that’s just my take on this year’s Golden Globes gown. What’d ya guys think? Which are your favourites? :)
Till next time!

Ps: I know it’s supposed to be Golden Globe, but I just can’t help calling it the Golden Globes.
