The 71st Annual Golden Globes Fashion
17:45Once again the Golden Globes were a disappointment. I think the problem lies with the stylists because fashion designers make beautiful clothes every year at the couture and ready to wear shows. A number of women need to release their stylists and hire new ones because there is no need for women to be looking plain and ordinary at award shows. Red and orange were the favourite colours on the red carpet this year and slits are still managing to make their way on the red carpet.
Let's begin with the women who make the okay dressed list.
Amy Adams looks very nice in her red and orange Valentino dress but at awards such as these, nice isn't good enough. The side profile of the dress is very flattering, just don't ask Amy to face you. I absolutely love the colour on her but that is about it. I don't feel the need to look twice.
Amy Poehler looks nice but boring in the black Stella McCartney gown. I hate to repeat adjectives but the only way I can describe these dresses is by using the words, boring and nice. Like Amber Heard, if the dress was in a different colour, maybe I would have looked twice. Her choice was too safe.
Emma Watson wore pants under her Dior Couture dress. I love the colour but not the risk. But I do congratulate her on being one of the only women who takes a risk on the red carpet.
I'm very disappointed at Helen Mirren. Last year I put her as one of the best dressed, I don't know what happened this year. Like most women, her choice was too safe and makes her look ... well, makes her look like a real granny. I think all women should dress for the age but if you have the opportunity to look like a glam granny, then go for it. To make matters worse, the colour is not flattering at all.
Julianne Margulies looked just alright in Andrew Gn however I can say that out of all the okay dressed women, she looked the best. It is something different and black looks very good on her. Just wish she could have changed her hair.
Kerry Washington looks okay in this pale green Balenciaga gown. The baby bump was the obvious statement of the night but she could have dressed her look up. One thing I can say is that she really does know how to dress up a baby bump.
Laura Dern looks just alright in this Roberto Cavali dress, if you ask me it doesn't even look like Cavali. I don't like brown, if this dress was in a happier colour maybe Laura would have worn a bigger smile on the red carpet.
Louise Roe looks amazing compared to her previous red carpet looks. This Monique Lhuillier dress looks really great on her, however the cut outs and lace are just not working for me. It makes the dress look a lot cheaper than what it is. Nevertheless great effort from Louise.
Naomi Watts was a stunner on the red carpet last year, at all award shows. I wish this year she looked as amazing as she did last year. This mermaid fabric dress by Tom Ford is too plain compared to how amazing she can look. I hope next year will be another big year for her.
Olivia Wilde looks beautiful in this floor length Gucci dress I just think it is a bit too wild for a pregnant woman. The fabric is making a big statement but she should just let her baby bump do the talking. Nevertheless, great effort!
Rosci Diaz tried to bring the glam to the carpet but this '00s looking dress has too much going on. Colour looks good but there is too much fabric.
Sofia Vergara wears the same dress every year just in a different colour. This black Zac Posen ball gown is way too dramatic for the Golden Globes and her jewellery makes the whole outfit look tacky. She does look good in the dress, she unfortunately wore it to the wrong award show.
Uma Thurman actually looks terrible. She has the height to pull off this Versace dress but I think the fabric is weighing her down. The only reason she isn't on the worst dressed list is because she took a risk and this outfit is not a complete disaster.
I love Zooey Deschanel and as cute and quirky she looks in this Oscar de la Renta dress is, it is a bit too much. I love how it's different with the crop top but the skirt is just not working for me. I wish it was floor length. Otherwise colour is great on her.
We finished with the okay dresses from the Golden Globes, now prepare your eyes for the worst dresses on the red carpet this year.
Berenice Bejo is a beautiful woman so I am not sure why she opted for a V-neck dress draped in roses. She is wearing the colour of the night but it does absolutely no justice to her and the '00s hairstyle just makes everything worse. Giambattista Valli makes amazing dresses but this one does not suit Bejo at all.
Caitlin Fitzgerald's blue Emilia Wickstead dress is not the worst we have seen but is also not the best. We are not on the set of the Mad Men and this blue hurts my eyes. The fabric also looks very cheap.
Emma Thompson looks alright in Lanvin but that gold top is just not working. Maybe if the skirt was longer she would have looked better, maybe. Please don't ask me about the lady behind her.
Gabourey Sidibe is one of my favourite people in Hollywood but this Rani Zakhem dress is not a favourite of mine. It's just too shiny for a woman of her size.
Jennifer Lawrence's Dior Haute Couture dress doesn't fit. White looks good on her but it does not fit her at her waist.
Julia Roberts decided to wear a shirt under her Stephane Rolland dress. Something South African woman do all the time. I just wish she knew she was on the red carpet and not shopping at Canal Walk.
Kate Beckinsale looks like a transformer. Her Zuhair Murad gown looks like it is made from metal. The fit is great but she should consider a different fabric next time.
Kate Mara is at the Golden Globes every year, yet I cannot tell you about anything she has acted in. I can tell you that she looks terrible at each Golden Globe red carpet and this year is no different. This J. Mendel dress has too much shine and too much draping. At least her hair looks good.
Lizzy Caplan tried to hard to make a statement and it flopped. This Emilio Pucci make it looks like she is wearing snakes on her arms. Not nice.
Mila Kunis looks like she is drowning in this Gucci gown. She isn't tall enough to carry this dress but the colour looks good.
Rashida Jones didn't make an effort. Her Fausto Puglisi palm tree dress is too informal for the red carpet and it doesn't look like the slit was sewn properly.
It looks like Sandra Bullock is wearing a colouring in book. Enough about that Prabal Gurung disaster.
Tina Fey should retire from the red carpet. I hope this Stella McCartney disaster will be her last red carpet dress.
Zoe Saldana wins the award for worst dressed at the 71st Annual Golden Globes. The unfortunate part about this disaster is that she thinks she looks good. At least she is confident. Prabal Gurung needs to stop dressing these women because it is quite obvious he doesn't know what he is doing.
As usual, the Best Dressed List is the shortest of them all. As I mentioned from the beginning, the Golden Globes this year were a disappointment so I say thank you to the women who tried their best and to those who put in some effort.
Guiliana Rancic looked amazing at the Golden Globes this year and is a runner up for best dressed. This plum Lorena Sarbu dress has detailed embellishments on the bodice and fits Rancic as if it was tailor made.
Jessica Chastain stuns in a black Givenchy dress. I absolutely love this neckline on her. She is a good example of how simple can look beautiful.
Lily Rabe's Georges Hobeika gown is not the best dress that walked the red carpet but it there is something amazing about it. I love the sheer and the nude, it makes it a classic beauty.
Lupita Nyong'o was a favourite amongst many this year and a favourite of mine. This bright Ralph Lauren dress looks beautiful on her and in terms of colour, she made the right choice. Another example of how simple does not have to be boring.
Maria Menounos is a resident on my best dressed list and this year she did not disappoint. Wearing her favourite colour, Menounos kept it simple in this Max Azria Atelier dress. The dress suits her personality and she definitely was one of the brightest on the carpet.
Sarah Hyland looks so mature and beautiful in this Georges Hobeika gown. I love the high neckline and how the dress gradually becomes darker towards the bottom.
