Golden Globes Fashion Part Deux!

 Ethereal Light


A staple at almost every awards show red carpet is the pale hued dress. It perfectly compliments a tan or fair complexion and with a few adjustments, can help any individual wearing the colour bring out their inner glow. Glee star Lea Michele simply glowed in this ballerina pink Oscar De La Renta gown. The one-shoulder ruffled detail cascaded to the side of the dress flowing into a full skirt. Simply beautiful! Carrie Underwood wore a subtle yet glittery gown by Badgley Mischka in the colour that speaks Hollywood. The sweetheart neckline and long train make the gown perfect for any 'sugar and spice and everything nice' starlet. Nicole Kidman wore a cream one-shoulder Prada gown that was accented by a soft sparkle. The small bow adds a ladylike touch with the pin adding small hint of colour with the turquoise stones. Lovely!

Peachy Keen


These stars seemed to be channeling spring with their peachy coral shades which added a summery touch to the wintertime awards show. Newly blonde Emma Stone glowed in her soft orange Calvin Klein Collection gown. The simplicity of the gown is perfection as it lets the colour shine and her shiny gold Calvin Klein Collection cluth pop. Claire Danes also chose a gown by Calvin Klein instead in a pink coral shade that was complimented by a gold cuff. The soft draping in the front adds a sensuous touch to the halter gown.  Television star Kyra Sedgwick walked the red carpet in my favourite colour combination orange and turquoise. In her ruffled, goddess-like tangerine Emilio Pucci gown, she accented the lightweight dress with turquoise and gold jewelry. Love it!

Golden Globes Fashion Part One!

How amazing was the Golden Globes fashion? I loved it so much that I have to make TWO posts! The Golden Globes are one of my favourite award shows because it tends to have a more laid back feel and let's face it fashionista's, we all know the real reason why we love watching these awards shows..........the FASHION!!!

This year it was all about sequins and colour galore. Look on and be inspired:

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star


Sequins are the applique du jour. Not only do they add a dash of glam to every outfit but they also channel the over-the-top craziness of the Dynasty days a.k.a. the '80's. Although some of these gowns have some old school, vintage inspiration they were each modernized for a 2011 feel. Amber Riley let her dress do the singing this time in her one-shouldered silver sequin gown. With a mermaid fit on the bottom half of the dress the look brings out her inner diva. Olivia Wilde looked like a modern day princess in this gor-juss Marchesa ball gown. The ombre sequin design stood out against the black tulle and the colour enhanced her sun kissed glow. Anne Hathaway really stepped it up in this Giorgio Armani Prive gold disc gown. The open back and exaggerated shoulders really made her shine and solidified her fashionista status. Well done, Rachel Zoe!

Luck be a Lady

These actresses had everyone green with envy in their emerald gowns that are simply to die for. I love jewel tones and in the colour that is the perfect contrast to the red carpet, these stars stood out in the colour of the night. Mila Kunis dazzled in this jade one-shouldered, ruffled, pleated Vera Wang gown. The colour lit up the red carpet and brought her green eyes. Broadway veteran and Oscar winner, Catherine Zeta-Jones chose a forest green Monique Lhuillier gown that spoke volumes in its layers, ruffles and texture. This dress is reminiscent of an enchanted fairy queen who rules the forest, only this time Catherine ruled the red carpet. Nominee Angelina Jolie looked stunning in this green sparkly Versace gown. The strong shoulders and cinched waist perfectly suited the star making her look like a modern-day Aphrodite.

Rain or Shine, the Stars Come Out to Play!

This past Sunday we saw the 67th annual Golden Globes. Robert Downey Jr., Avatar and Meryl Streep all walked away with awards, but these ladies will walk away with best dressed. Drew Barrymore, Diane Kruger, Emily Blunt and Cameron Diaz each glamourous-ly made it down the red carpet in floaty feminine gowns to be remembered. Soft nudes, shine and chiffon appeared to be the looks of choice for this rainy evening.

Twinkle, Twinkle

Golden Globe winner, Toni Colette shimmered her way along the red carpet in a gold sparkling stunner. If there is one thing a love it's sequins. If you want to have fun and take centre stage, be sure to shine!

Birds of a Feather

Although this Dolce and Gabbanna gown does not actually have feathers the floaty layers are light as one. This soft pink gown is reminiscent of soft, beautiful wedding gown.

The Little Mermaid

Drew Barrymore's Atelier Versace was beautifully draped emphasizing her small waist. The sea urchin-like details on the shoulder and waist were a unique touch to the pale sparkling gown.

In Full Bloom

Just because it is January, it does not mean that a little nod to flower power is out of order. Diane Kruger's Christian Lacroix gown had a beautiful ruffle detail accented by a waist detail similar to that of a Japanese obi sash.

Lady in Red

Cameron Diaz made her way down the red carpet in a satin Alexander McQueen gown with soft draping in the centre. With the pastels the soft colours that we saw that night Miss Diaz stood out indeed.
