Golden Globes 2012: That Reminds Me...

Jessica Biel's (above) Elie Saab look from last night's red carpet was beautiful. The nude lace dress, which featured a train and a front split, is one of my favourites from the night. But, don't you think it looks extremely similar to Leighton Meester's Burberry Prorsum dress from last year's Golden Globes (below)? Nevertheless, Jessica looks beautiful. I just need to see a close up of her hand to see whether Justin has really put a ring on it...

Golden Globes 2012: Blushing Beauties

Another colour trend of the night (and at every red carpet event since late 2010) was shades of nude.

Charlize Theron looked as amazing as always in her Christian Dior gown. The colour and hairstyle made the look cute, but the plunging neckline and front split kept it sexy.

Heidi Klum managed to pull something off that she usually fails at. She attended a major red carpet event without looking overdone. A round of applause for Heidi I think, especially after last year's Golden Globes appearance.

Jessica Alba looked beautiful in a pale lilac embroidered gown. How do these celebrities do it, she had a child about 5 minutes ago and she already looks like that!? Oh to have access to the world's best chefs and personal trainers...

Kate Beckinsale provides proof of the motto "If it aint broke, don't fix it" here. The actress loves herself a strapless, fishtail hemmed, slightly bridal gown. But when you have the body to pull it off, why the hell not? Another question, is it wrong that I really want to go see the new Underworld film?

Kristen Wiig looked simple and chic in her halter dress. The colour and style really suit her, but I have a slight problem with her hair. Does anyone else think it's too dark?

Sarah Hyland always seems to get it right on the red carpet. Some might say that this look is a little too grown up for such a young actress, but I think she looks fantastic. A mature and elegant choice from the Modern Family starlet.

Golden Globes 2012: A Splash of Colour

Dianna Agron

Natalie Portman

Stacy Keibler

Angelina Jolie

I always love when there's some interesting colour at a red carpet event.

Dianna Agron makes interesting choices for events such as these, and I this is no exception. I love the red lace, as I've said before, I'm a sucker for a blonde in red.

Natalie Portman's is another dress that is getting mixed reviews, but I love the Marilyn Monroe Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend reference.

Stacy Keibler (AKA George Clooney's latest hot girlfriend) looked showstoppingly sexy in a simple red Valentino dress, I love the bow detail on the back.

And finally, I'll give credit where credit is due, Angelina Jolie looked amazing in this Versace gown. I'm not really an Angelina fan but when she wears something that isn't plain black or white I'm interested, so the flash of red from her collar, lips and clutch got my seal of approval (which is obviously better than getting an actual Golden Globe).

Golden Globes 2012: A Sea of Blue & Green

Jenna Dewan-Tatum

Tilda Swinton

Emma Roberts

Helen Mirren

Following on from SMG's blue printed gown, here are a few more actresses who wore hues of blue and green at the Golden Globes last night.
My favourites here are Tilda Swinton and Emma Roberts. I love the light blue colour and the addition of a tailored jacket to Tilda's look, she always does her own thing on the red carpet, which I love. I love the details on Emma's dress, and again she has chosen a navy hue, which looks goregeous on her.

Golden Globes 2012: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Yes or No?

I'm going to start my Golden Globes coverage by defending Sarah Michelle Gellar. Yes, yes, I know, you hate this dress. It's the worst dress you've ever seen on the red carpet. Your eyes are offended. But I don't care what you say, I love Sarah Michelle Gellar, and so I love her dress.
The blue and white smoke print gown is by Monique Lhuillier, a label I like to think of as a less embellished Marchesa. I think the main reason people are hating this look is because it swamps SMG's petite frame, too much fabric for a little person. But she looks like she's loving it, look how gorgeously smiley she is!
SMG told reporters on the red carpet that her 2 year old daughter picked the dress for her to wear. Well, bless her heart for making her little girl happy. There have been far worse disasters on the red carpet for no reason at all.

W Magazine's Pre-Golden Globes Party

Thankfully, other's faired better at the W magazine party.


The rumoured future Mrs Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, looked as gorgeous as ever in a shimmering gold sheath dress. Her hair, which I wasn't fond of when she first dyed it darker, also looked gorgeous in polished but loose waves. I'd hate her for stealing my man, but when she looks this beautiful I can't really blame the Trousersnake for choosing her. Even I'd try it on with her looking like this.



Emmy Rosum, who stars in America's version of Shameless, looked like a beautiful ballerina in a silvery-grey pleated dress. I love the addition of colour via her bright red satin pumps. Very chic for someone who plays America's version of a council estate dweller.



Miranda Kerr (and her enviable body) look fantastic in a white satin cocktail dress. Can you believe that she had a baby less than a year ago?! Them right there are some good genes. The bouncy waves and red lipstick add to Miranda's Hollywood vibe.



Emma Roberts was photographed outside the venue arriving at the party. Her backless long satin dress, which look black on some pictures and navy in others, made Emma look very grown up. She is also sporting one of the biggest hair trends amongst celebrities at the moment, The Lob (aka the long bob).
I think this might be one of my favourite red carpet looks so far from Elizabeth Olsen. The Proenza Schouler dress and over-the-shoulder plait make Elizabeth look cute and sexy. And can I just say I LOVE that this Olsen SMILES! She makes me melt with her charming chops.

Emma Stone at the W Magazine Golden Globes Party

Well, I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. The ultimate girl crush of girl crushes, Emma Stone, has had a style slip on the red carpet.

She attended the W magazine pre-Golden Globes party last night in a peach and nude dress with embellished sides. Surprisingly, the dress is a Alber Elbaz design for Lanvin. I say surprisingly, as I didn't think it was possible for Lanvin to make Emma Stone look bad after her gorgeous look at last year's BAFTAs, but here you have it.

Unfortunately rather than looking chic, Emma looks like she is ready for a rather posh scuba diving lesson. Her hair and make up also let this look down dramatically. As you can see on the model, the embellished side of the dress curls around the back of the neck and over the shoulder to form a snake's head on the collar. But Emma's slightly greasy looking hair covers up this detail leaving the snake's head looking like a neacklace, which kills the look. Her mocha overextended eyeshadow also gives her a slightly hungover look, which, while she may be after 3 nights out in a row, I'm sure was not the intended effect. (See a close up of Emma's makeup here).
