Golden Globes 2011 Fashion & Gossip

Our favourite celebs were out in full force on Sunday night to celebrate the 68^th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, and for anybody that watched it you’ll know the winners and losers were overshadowed by the controversial presenting of Ricky Gervais who hasn’t been out of the news ever since. We sat and watched it just to check out our favourite dresses from the evening but ended up watching the whole thing just to see who Gervais would make fun of next. Aside from the fabulous fashion, at least he injected a bit of spark into what tends to be a pompous awards ceremony even if some of the jokes were a little insulting.

Our favourite moment was when he introduced Bruce Willis as Ashton Kutcher’s dad. Genius!

Top Trends & Best Dressed

This year’s ceremony proved that old school Hollywood glamour is well and truly back in style. Most of the stars opted for full length and fabulous gowns, with  fishtails and trains proving much more popular than the shorter numbers.

If there was one standout trend from the 2011 Golden Globes red carpet though, it was the A-list penchant for stunning emerald green gowns. From Catherine Zeta-Jones’ voluminous Monique Lhuillier frock, to Mila Kunis’ one-shoulder Vera Wang design and Angelina Jolie’s amazing Atelier Versace creation, the jewel tone was the shade to be seen in. We think they all look amazing, and are so glad Mila opted for this glamorous number after her dowdy People’s Choice Awards frock!

Another popular colour of the evening was red- with Mad Men’s January Jones leading the way in her scarlet Versace number. The dress is very revealing and has been criticised by many fashion observers, but we think she looks gorgeous, and there aren’t many people who could pull off this daring creation!  Her co-star Christina Hendricks also had heads turning in her Romona Keveza dress which showed off her beautifully curvy figure, while Malin Akerman followed suit in scarlet Tommy Hilfiger.

There were lashings of top-to-toe sparkle this year and leading the way (literally- she was the first to arrive) with the full-on embellishment was Olivia Wilde in our favourite dress of the night. The gold Marchesa ballgown is stunning and so glamorous and looks utterly fabulous with her glittering Louboutin shoes. If we had a red carpet event to go to we’d dress like a princess as well!

Anne Hathaway continued the sparkly trend in her spangled bronze Armani Couture gown. We love the fact it’s modern and demure with long sleeves and a high neck but still has that movie star magic when she turns around to reveal a daring backless style.

Our other favourite dresses included Halle Berry’s and Eva Longoria’s, who proved the time-honoured long black dress is a style staple that will forever prove popular.

Eva’s Zac Posen fishtail number oozes old-style Hollywood glamour and gives her a gorgeous hourglass silhouette, whilst Halle’s Nina Ricci satin corset dress show’s off her to-die-for figure. The full impact of this dress was fully captured when she walked on stage to present an award and had the chiffon billowing behind her like a goddess.

Worst Dressed

Sack the stylist!

Tilda Swinton’s gold Jil Sander skirt and blouse were shapeless and dowdy and really did nothing for her. We do wish she’d wear a bit more make-up as well….

Michelle Williams gets hippy chic … minus the chic. The ‘Blue Valentine’ star’s flower power Valentino number, blooming with daisies on the neutral nude fabric, is a little too garden party and not enough Golden Globes. The neckline is a little too mumsy, and the cut is all wrong. She looks as unimpressed with her choice of outfit as we are…

Jennifer Love-Hewitt made a really bad fashion choice with her shapeless Romona Keveza number. The dress looked more bridal than Golden Globes, and the pleated bust and draped skirt did little for her curvy figure. Her glamorous updo is completely lost in this visual assault as well.

The lovely Natalie Portman should have been the belle of the ball with her nominated ‘Black Swan’ performance, her engagement, and a baby on the way but this Viktor & Rolf pink satin dress — complete with a hideous sequined rose — is uninspired at best.

One of our biggest disappointments of the night was Sandra Bullock’s look. Her pale pink Jenny Packham gown is lacking in structure and sex appeal whilst her new fringe is too heavy and unflattering. She looked thoroughly miserable both on the red carpet and on stage as well.

Julianne Moore’s hot pink Lanvin gown swamps her figure with its shapeless, strangely asymmetrical style. We love the bold colour as bright hues are bang on trend, but the pink really clashes with her red hair, and the dress is badly wrinkled.

And finally…. Helena Bonham Carter… (Best? Worst? Or just bonkers?)

We couldn’t leave Helena out of our blog post! You can always rely on the actress to wear the most bizarre outfits on the red carpet, and her Vivienne Westwood dress and mismatched red & green shoes certainly made her stand out. She may not have been the most fashion-forward but she sure looked like she was having fun! We love the mad professor hairstyle and sunglasses too! If Helena ever stepped out in something less than bonkers we’d be disappointed….
