golden greats
Well it’s award season yet again…ooh how we girls love to watch those super glamorous actresses, smiling from ear to ear, when we know they are secretly checking out the next A-list starlet to walk the red carpet, seeing how they measure up in their designer frock.
The first award ceremony to kick off this year was The Golden Globes, a ridiculously star-studded event recognising excellence within film and television from all over the world. The first ever Golden Globes Awards was held in 1944 at 20th Century Fox Studios in Los Angeles, the awards are now held in The Beverley Hilton Hotel. The Globes are broadcasted to 167 countries worldwide, either on radio or TV and ranks the third most popular ceremony behind The Oscars and The Grammys. It’s been most reported recently because it’s been hosted for the last three years (mostly controversially) by Ricky Gervais.
So that’s the interesting facts out of the way, let’s get down to the business of fashion.
White and off white was a big theme this year, with Angelina Jolie, Jessica Biel, Charlize Theron and Kate Beckinsale all choosing various shades. Ms Beckinsale and Ms Biel, although opting for beautiful dresses would have looked more at home walking down the aisle than the red carpet. Ms Theron looked stunning in draped elegance in her Christian Dior gown. Ms Jolie turned heads in her Atelier Versace dress, with its thigh high split and red off the shoulder neckline, with matching clutch and lipstick. Ms Klum showed real understated chic, in a simple but incredibly stylish nude Calvin Klein dress, which she accessorised with turquoise jewellery. The award for capturing real Hollywood glamour, had to go to jointly to a few stars, Diane Lane looked fabulous in Reem Arca, this stunning, light gold, metallic gown, was very similar to the Jenny Packham dress that the Duchess of Cambridge that she wore to the Annual Ark Charity Gala recently. Actress Shailene Woodley shimmered in a strapless silver and grey Marchesa, Salma Hayek wore an amazing strapless Gucci dress, the bodice decorated with a geometric gold design, the skirt decorated with black sequin stripes, which glittered and dazzled. Emma Stone looked beautiful and bang on trend in a stunning berry chiffon gown, with a deep v neckline and gorgeous belt and Laura Dern looked amazing, in a simple, long sleeved, green, all over sequined v-neck dress. Some of the stars that deserve a mention for their bravery, but maybe, need to think about getting a new stylist, were Sarah Michelle Gellar who looked like she may have had a tussle in the paint aisle in B&Q. Kelly Osbourne who’s Star Trek shoulders and grey hair just didn’t work and also aged her. Emily Watson, wore a nude dress, but unfortunately, it matched her skin tone exactly and it really had no redeeming features. Meryl Streep, added a few sizes to her frame in a cowboy inspired black number and Amanda Peet looked like she was wearing an over sized toilet roll dolly. Never mind ladies there’s always the Baftas!
