Golden Globes: Best Dressed

Kate Hudson:
Designer: Alexander McQueen
The first words out of my mouth during her interview were "Holy Kate Hudson!" That girl is smokin'!!!! This McQueen gown is simply AMAZING, no more words necessary!

Jennifer Garner:
Designer: Vivienne Westwood
Wow, talking about ravishing in red! Hot mama! This Vivienne Westwood gown was not only the perfect shade of red but the sweetheart neckline and cinched waist made this an effortlessly chic best dressed nominee instantly!

 Miranda Kerr:
Designer: Zuhair Murad
Let's take a minute to all wish we could look like her! Wow! Sexy and classy! The ruching and cinched bow waist are very classy and awards worthy, the slit doesn't even need a mention. Love!!!!

Amy Adams:
Designer: Marchesa
Swoon! I mean, it is Marchesa, so of course it's perfect! This "ballet pink" as Amy calls it is perfect for her skin tone. And while it may not show up as well in pictures on TV it was breathtaking. The lace bodice and tulle fishtail were anything but unnoticed on the red carpet. And while she was one of the first to arrive, her dress made an impact to be talked about through the entire night.

Naomi Watts:
Designer: Zac Posen
Posen strikes again! If this deep berry red wasn't already enough to make you swoon the shape it gives her is amazing. I am loving the long sleeves and the added fishtail gave the extra oomph to make this a show stopper! Reminds me of the white Tom Ford gown that Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the Oscars last year.

Ryan Seacrest:
Designer: Burberry
I typically find myself complaining about Ryan ALWAYS being in Burberry, not that it's not a great designer! But just wish he would mix it up a bit. While his suits are typically more understated as he is the host of well, everything, this was a bold choice that made me stop and stare! The beautiful grey, with black lapel and bow tie were stunning! Always know its a fabulous suit when you can see the texture and quality of the material through pictures and TV! Bravo!

Golden Globes: Worst Dressed

Halle Berry:
Designer: Versace
Don't even know what to say about this gown. Props to her rockin' body at her age, but even the Angelina pose can't salvage this look! Only Donatella herself could get away with wearing this.

Lena Dunham:
Designer: Zac Posen
It makes me so sad to see that this is a Zac Posen design. He is one of my favorite designers and typically specializes in mermaid style, tight fitting gowns that are beyond stunning. This gown is all kinds of wrong on her figure and makes her look bigger. Also, if it were in yellow, it could be used for Belle's dress in Beauty and the Beast.

Taylor Swift:
Designer: Donna Karan
Taylor, you are 23, not 40! This gown is made for someone much older and mature than you! The high neckline and satin finish, that is in fact wrinkled, is all kinds of wrong. And let's not even get started on the hair. While I am glad she has grown out of the sparkle phase, I am disappointed in this look. I just want to see her in something younger and sexier!

Debra Messing:
Designer: Donna Karan
Let's just say black is not always slimming, and it kind of looks like a Chinese Lantern. Sorry, better luck next time! Makeup and jewelry is beautiful though!

Jessica Chastain:
Designer: Calvin Klein
Where do I start? You're Jessica Chastain! You have the power to get ANY gown you want, and you choose Calvin Klein!? While this color is great with her skin tone, it is a spring color....it's January. The top is not fitted correctly and makes her bust look weird and waiting for a wardrobe malfunction to happen at any moment. Should I even mention the hair? Ugh, all kinds of wrong!!!!

Golden Globes: Honorable Mentions

Nicole Kidman:
Designer: Alexander McQueen
Beautiful Alexander McQueen gown! This designer choice is a big step for her considering she always sticks with a more conservative L'Wren Scott. The details take a simple black dress to a whole new level and give her a shape anyone would die for in their mid 40's.


Anne Hathaway:
Designer: Chanel
While yes, this Chanel gown is beautiful in a classic Chanel white with peplum it is simply not enough for my taste. The dress is perfect, classy and understated but a pop of bright jewels would take this to a whole different world. 


 Hayden Panettiere:
Designer: Cavalli
Hayden is all grown up! This beautiful blush Cavalli gown was something that reminds me much of classic Marchesa. The fitted bodice and mermaid bottom gives her long lines and makes her boyish figure womanly curves. Bravo!

 Helen Mirren:
Designer: Badgley Mischka
Its simple, can we all look this amazing at 67? Also, it shows that a dress can create curves and give you the figure that you want. The perfect style, design, and fit on a dress can really make a difference!

 Kristen Bell:
Designer: Jenny Packham
Now THIS is how you wear a dress while you're pregnant! We all remember Claire Dane's canary yellow Lanvin gown from the Emmy's HERE that was very unflattering over a baby bump. This Packham gown is not only stunning with its bead work but the color is magnificent on her skin tone.

 Julianne Hough:
Designer: Monique Lhuillier
I've been going back and forth on this gown all night. Her hair is super fierce and the beaded bodice is gorgeous! Very edgy and different for Lhuillier! While I love that this look is more edgy, I just don't know how I feel about the tulle on the bottom.
