Everyone was waiting to see what he and she wore on Golden Globe Awards night at LA. Like every year, also this year stars show out on splendid gowns and less good gowns. I picked my favourite dresses below. For me personally Anne Hathaway proved her fashion bona fides in an Armani Privé sparkler that dipped way, way down in back. Best Actress winner Natalie Portman surprised insiders whose money was on Dior or Rodarte with a ravishing strapless pink Viktor & Rolf dress.
My Personal Favourites:
left to right:
- January Jones: This dress was seen in Versace's Spring 2011 runway show. Originally in sky blue, January Jones requested it to be made in this stunning red colour; a good move on her part. The best part about this dress is undoubtedly the fringe.
- Mandy Moore: This Monique Lhuillier gown is absolutely gorgeous. The colour alone is stunning but the mermaid silhouette and the airiness of the tulle skirt really makes it that much more beautiful.
- Scarlett Johansson: Another throwback for me, this Elie Saab gown reminds me of one of my all time favourite dresses, a champagne Versace gown donned by Kate Hudson at the 2003 Academy Awards. I'm just a sucker for a nude dress with sparkly detailing! Also the fluttery sleeves are just lovely.
- Anne Hathaway: I must say, this is a bit of a departure for Anne. We normally see her looking classy and elegant but I've never seen her look this vixen-like ever... And I love it. Long sleeves, sequins, padded shoulders; all fantastic details. But the best part about this Armani Privé dress? It's completely backless.
- Olivia Wilde: This Marchesa gown definitely takes the cake for me. I mean, what's not to love? The ball gown silhouette makes Olivia look like a princess (isn't she one, technically? :p) and the nude to black gradient is stunning. Same with the "lots of sequins" to "less sequins" gradient. Wow, I'm really getting technical with my terms :p. No matter, this dress speaks for itself and will probably be one of the best dresses of 2011.
Tone-to-tone dresses:

- Natalie Portman: The empire waist of this baby pink Viktor & Rolf dress really flatters her mommy-to-be figure. The red floral accent is also really sweet.
- Christina Aguilera: Holy curves, Batman! Christina separated herself from the rest of the nude crowd by picking a Zuhair Murad gown that incorporated black lace as well. Absolutely stunning!
- Nicole Kidman: This sparkly Prada dress really accentuates Nicole's statuesque frame.
And how adorable is that bow?
- Leighton Meester: Burberry Prorsum looks good on Leighton. Love the Victorian vibe and the thigh high slit. Not to mention, the shoes are fierce!
left to right:
- Heather Morris: Looking super classy in a sparkly, nude dress. Love the clutch, too!
- Kyra Sedgwick: I'm reminded of Michelle Williams at the 2006 Oscars. Kyra definitely stood out from the crowd in this mustard yellow dress. Very boho, absolutely lovely.
- Emma Stone: Easily the simplest dress at the Globes and yet it's one of the most striking. The clean silhouette coupled with the gorgeous peach shade really make this Calvin Klein dress a standout.
- Julie Bowen: The detailing in this Tadashi Shoji dress is so, unbelievably gorgeous.
Beauty Queens:
left to right:
- Carrie Underwood: Gorgeous look, but her foundation makes her look much too pasty.
- Eva Longoria: Like Carrie, her foundation is much too light (nothing new for Eva, though).
Plus, I'm not a fan of the uber-nude lip.
- Emma Stone: I will never be a fan of orange skin. I'm not sure if it's the combination of her peach dress and her newly blonde hair or if she really did apply the self-tanner a little too liberally,
but the orange was definitely visible.
left to right:
- Mila Kunis: Flawless skin, long fluttery lashes, warm apricot on the lips & cheeks... One word: gorgeous.
- Julianne Hough: What an amazing sun kissed glow! But the standout is the coppery colour lined around her eyes, it really makes her beautiful blue eyes pop.
- Jenna Ushkowitz: Loving the soft, grey smoky eye and her voluminous hair.
left to right:
- Olivia Wilde: Subtle, yet gorgeous cat-eye and soft nude lip really compliment the rest of her look; plus, I'm really loving this fringe on her.
- Scarlett Johansson: Scarlett always looks so classy. Love the updo and the soft pink lips.
- Christina Hendricks: All this pinks & reds should clash, but I find it doesn't. The pink flush of her cheeks matched with the soft, red stain of her lips are especially pretty.
- Natalie Portman: Pregnancy suits her, that's for sure! She's definitely got that inner-glow and her berry stained lips compliment her blush perfectly.
- Michelle Williams: Pretty in peach and rockin the pixie cut. So lovely.
left to right:
- Halle Berry: Classic smoky eye and a nude lip that I can get appreciate.
- Dianna Agron: She has such a gorgeous, girl-next-door face. Looking lovely, as usual, but it's the pinky-brown lip colour that makes the look quite grown-up.
- Jennifer Lawrence: Another sun-kissed beauty. The hint of shimmer in her lips makes the look much fresher, perfect for a young actress like her.
- Megan Fox: I really love a smoky eye on Megan, her eyes look so much bluer. She's sporting some shimmer on her lips as well, much like, Jennifer; though Megan's is much more subtle. But the show stopper in this whole look is definitely her brows, I love how full and natural they are.
P.S. Megan, please gain some weight.
- Leighton Meester: As Benefit would say, "her name was Glowla."
I'm seriously lemming for whatever was used on her cheeks. Anyone know?
