Now that a week has passed, opinions have leveled-out and we've all had a minute to catch our breath, let's talk about the Globes!
Besides Autumn, Award Season is definitely my favorite! From the movie uproar to the gowns - oh, how I love the gowns!
This year was exciting as always, and while I wasn't thrilled with everyone's dressing choice, I did appreciate many of them.
First, we have (one of my personal favorites) Hailee Steinfeld at the Netflix after party in an Andrew Gn number. I adore Hailee's supreme awareness of not only what looks stunning on her shape, but also her ago and her desire to remain clothed within that age. Never does Steinfeld look too mature or too young; it's always just right, and this gown is a perfect example of that.
Next, on the other end of the black and gold spectrum is Monica Potter. I may have a swayed sense of likeness for this dress just because of my love for Mrs Potter (you should understand if you watch Parenthood!) but I like it nonetheless. The color looks great against her skin complexion and the neckline of the dress really brings out the fabulousness of her updo.
Kate Beckinsale blows my mind; she wears the same mermaid silhouette each time she walks the red carpet, but she never fails to make it look like something we haven't seen before. Beckinsale wore this Zuhair Murad strapless gown to the globes - one very similar to Sofia Vergara's InStyle after party gown by the same designer.
Naomi Watt's also stuns in her form-fitting Tom Ford ensemble. The cut outs on the side are so simple, yet the small slits take the gown from something simple to something very new.
Now to my favorites!
This high-low trend has been everywhere for the past two years . . . but I have never seen this asymmetrical style done so elegantly and with such class as these. In my opinion it's the dramatic pleats and powder blue on Caitlin Fitzgerald's dress that makes hers' one to remember. Fitzgerald's short chops look great along her mock neckline.
Michelle Dockery really owns the carpet in this Oscar de la Renta piece. This soft neutral tones of this ladylike gown and simple cut to the top make the dress one of my favorites.
Yes. Yes. Yes all over these two! Newcomers Margot Robbie and Lupita Nyong'o (who I've mentioned my admiration for before) really hit glamour on the head right here. The split in Margot's Gucci gown, although rising up near her hip, is the most demure and appears to be almost modest. The accented emerald jewels and (hidden) gem-tone peep-toed pumps add the perfect amount of color to her cream dress.
Lupita has done it again. I'm not the only one who has been obsessing over Nyong'o's style, but this Ralph Lauren sums up the entire Lupita craze. From the incredible color to the off-the-shoulder draping, this dress is like nothing we've seen in a long time. The brilliance of this red against the richness of her skin tone really brings something new to the award table. Thumbs up, Lupita!
And last, but certainly not least, is my personal favorite, Cate Blanchett in this lace Armani Couture mermaid gown. Blanchett really put herself back on the map with this piece. The patterned lace is so beautiful on it's own . . . then Armani adds in the sleek design of the capped sleeves, the drama of the neckline, and then the fanning bottom. All these things add up to making (in my opinion) the most fabulous dress on the carpet last Sunday.
