Last night was the Golden Globe Awards at the historic Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. It was an unusually warm day of about 80 degrees. The majority of women were in fine form in sleeveless or strapless gowns. Elphaba would have been happy that so much green was to be seen! Also seen were lots of black, red and blush tones. We saw hairstyles with bangs (Sandra Bullock, Olivia Wilde), updos (many) and side parts (Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Vergara).
For men, it was the classic B&W tux; most with bow ties, many with long black ties. The ones who separated from the pack were Robert Downey Jr. and Taylor Hackford. My least favorite look is the all-black outfit worn by such people as Christian Bale, Jeremy Renner and composer Alexandre Desplat. My top faves were Matthew Bomer, Mark Ruffalo and Jon Hamm(some)!
First to arrive (and who has my vote for best dressed) is the stunning Olivia Wilde in a brown jeweled Marchesa ball gown and dazzling shoes by Christian Louboutin. Well done! My second favorite was Mila Kunis in a dark green Vera Wang with an asymmetrical pouf shoulder piece. And coming in third is Claire Danes in a coral colored halter dress by Calvin Klein.
Honorable mention: Nicole Kidman looked soft and lovely in an ivory sequined one-shouldered Prada gown. Nice to see her look healthy and with some meat on her bones. Must be all that Southern cooking!

MISSES:
Top Three Un-Huh Dresses:
1st Helena Bonham Carter: Birds nest hair, mismatched shoes and floral print dress. It worked for Cyndi Lauper in the 80’s, not so much here.2nd Julianne Moore: Was the one sleeve an afterthought? Or forgotten?
3rd Jennifer Love Hewitt: A major ill-fitting wedding dress. Where is a seamstress when you need her?
Must Mention: Heidi Klum in her hot mess of a dress. Better at MTV Awards.
Worst Hair: Helena Bonham Carter, then Scarlett Johansson, looking like the bride of Frankenstein!
Channeling Mae West: Christina Aguilera

Oops! We can see through your dress Emma Heming (Mrs. Bruce Willis)

Olivia Wilde was by far the stand out dress, but I also really liked Catherine Zeta-Jones dark green number. January Jones, a beautiful lady, in that ridiculous red cut out thing was pretty bad. But Helena knows how to be number one on all the worst dressed. She lives the bohemian life. goes for that messed up homeless look that matches her partners. She doesn't care...good for her. The talent is more important than what she dons on the red carpet.
