Thoughts on the Golden Globes.
* I got a lot of these photos from the Telegraph and I didnt put those hit or miss signs on them. I agree mostly, but not completely.
Trend #1 Emerald Green: 
Mila Kuniz looks GORGEOUS in Vera Wang. DIE. Brunettes with pale skin and light eyes look fantastic in emerald green. (Kyle Richards has this one down.)
Catherine Zeta Jones… Shape is cupcakey but the color is gorgeous. Dress Monique Lhullier.
Elizabeth Moss in Donna Karen.
Angelina Jolie rocks it in Alteier Versace. DIE. She took last years Oscar earrings and turned them into a gown:
(Oscars 2010)
(PS you can get earrings like hers, the ones Kyle wears on RHOBH HERE. And they are only $125!)
She is also rocking the long sleeve trend, which works for her because she has bony and veiny arms.
Green is this year’s purple:
(Purple dresses from 2010)
Trend #2 Long Sleeves:
Leighton Meister in Zac Posen. The telegraph says she is a hit, but I dont think so. Too frumpy.
Anne Hathaway- Not in love with the hair, but I like her in the dress. Armani Prive. And yes, Rachel Zoe did style her. The back:
WOWZA!!!!
(Also remember, Angeline wearing long sleeves.)
# 3 Floppy half long sleeves:
Again- I disagree with the Telegraph. Scarlet’s hairdo is so lame. And if those floppy arms were cut off this dress it would have been 1000x better.
J Lo’s dress is tragic. Ugh. That shawl kills it. And although I like the shape of the dress, the whole thing looks so dated. Like 1999.
Again- I disagree with the little hit sign. I like the dress well enough, but Sandra’s hair looks like a wig and she kinda looks like she is dressing up as Cleopatra for halloween. Its not just the bangs, its the way the ends were cut and blown. I also would like to see her with a little more color on her face. She almost looks goth to me.
#4 The what the hell were they thinking and they should fire their stylist trend:
Im pregnant, and I am much uglier than Natalie, Im not nominated for a Golden Globe and I dont have a team of stylists and I wouldnt be caught dead in that dress. Forget the rose, the fabric choice is horrific. It looked bad from every angle and it wrinkled. She should have worn this:
Now sold out Alexander McQueen dress that I love.
Also, perhaps worst of the evening:
This dress is truly baffling. Aside from the fact that its January and there are daisies all over it- its wrinkled, it makes her look fat, her boobs have no support and it completely washes out her skin tone.
The fact that this woman judges a fashion competition is mind boggling. This dress is OK, if you are on vacation in Ibiza! But then again, she also liked and WORE this dress by Project Runway runner up Mondo Guerra:
UGH.
Everything about this makes me want to know why she is still around- some ghost whispering show?
This dress is absolutely awful. It looks like a WORSE version of all the dresses I hated last year:
This designer Romona Keveza is a bridal designer. BAD choice.
Im on the fence on these looks:
Megan Fox obviously doesnt look BAD, but the dress is just a little too prom for me.
Julianne Moore in Lanvin. What’s with the wrinkled trend tonight? I love the dress, but I hate that its so wrinkled. Really. And I dont think a necklace is ever necessary with a one shoulder dress.
Emma Stone in Calvin Klein. Ok I LOVE the dress and I think she does look beautiful, but I think she needs to go back to her auburn hair color. She looks so much older with that bleach blond hair!
Torn on this one. Claire Danes looks simple, sophisticated and chic in this Calvin Klien, but I would have liked it a little better if it had a drop of a twist to it. It also makes her frame look SUPER boyish. She does look beautiful though. But I just wish it fit a tad differently. Reminds me of Cameron Diaz’s Chanel dress in 2009, except I liked that much better:
The didnt someone else wear this last year dresses:
Olivia Wilde in Marchesa 2011.
Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta, 2010.
Also:
Eva Longoria in Zac Posen. Where did those boobies come from? There is such a thing as too much cleavage and too much puddle and this dress has both.
Reminiscent of Mariah’s Herve Leger dress last year:
I actually like this one better!
My favorite of the evening… hmmm… toss up between all the emeralds. You? Which dresses did you love and which did you hate?

I agree with you on all these Nicole! Mila Kunis looks the best, really gorgeous. My other fav (not pictured) was that girl from Glee Diana Agron, she looked very pretty. Even though I’m not an Angelina Jolie fan, she did look beautiful. I am so disappointed in Michelle Williams, I always love her style but she loooks terrible.
Thanks for the recap x
Rachel Zoe should be FIRED for putting anne in that poof sleeve monster of a dress. The back was beautiful, but you know what? ..the front’s whats important.
Julianne Moore in Lanvin. PAINFUL. I had a hard time looking at her. The color, the fabric, the neckline…wrong, wrong, and wrong. WOW.
Angelina was the only one who brought it last night. Every other dress was disappointing to say the least. Celebrities are supposed to look their very best at these events. Some just passed, while others failed miserably. I would do better getting fashion inspiration hanging out at Cafe Gitane on a Tuesday.
Ha! I was actually at Cafe Gitane last week and the waiter spilled 2 drinks on me!!! 2!
Im not SO anti the anne hathaway dress. I dont love the poof sleeve either. But the dress had nice lines and she looked better than she normally does. Normally she looks like a pale princess.
I liked the Lanvin, but I HATED the way it was all wrinkly and she did not need a necklace!
I LOVED Claire Danes but I’ve always had a girl crush on her so I’m a little biased. I also adored Anne Hathaway’s dress and Angelina’s- definitely my top three.
I thought claire looked beautiful as a whole, but something about the way that dress was laying over her boobs was weird to me.
And Anne Hathaway- I liked seeing her look cool for once, but Im not sold on the pointy shoulder.
LOVED Angelina. She looked comfortable, elegant and like a real movie star.
Claire Danes looked so gnarly skinny. Skeletor! Her ribs were poking out! But I adored her hair.
I like Emma Stone as a blonde; the color isn’t brassy and it goes with her skin tone. Red seems to be a more interesting color choice on her, though. I thought that her peaches’n cream complexion worked well with the peachy tones of her lipgloss and the CK dress.
Jennifer Love Hewitt NEVER looks good. The clothes always wear HER, never the other way around.
Finally, Michelle Williams. Girlfriend, what HAPPENED?! I think she’s so chic and fun, but wow. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe I read somewhere that dress is (gasp) Valentino?! HOW?!
Mila and Angelina were my absolute favorite. I have similar coloring to them and have some serious inspiration to find something emerald green, ASAP. They both looked absolutely stunning. And my least favorites were Natalie Portman (even more so because I love her so much) and Michelle Williams. Gross gross gross
I agree with Christine – I think Claire Danes looked lovely. I agree with you as well that the dress didn’t flatter her chest but she’s flat and like Kate Hudson doesn’t worry about it. Anne Hathaway would have been my favorite if not for the shoulders. And I just don’t love emerald green so that eliminated the other 2 contenders. Maybe there will be more to choose from at the Oscars. Oh – and your pick for Natalie Portman was brilliant.
Last night was truly a tragic mess. Between that bedsheet that Natalie Portman was wearing and that doily that JLo slapped over a slipdress, I just can’t believe that these stylists are still employed. And didn’t Sandy Bullock look just THRILLED to be there? What the hell was going on with that hair?
How can you not just laugh at Helena Bonham Carter? Seriously, she was like “I’m owning the crazy, right down to my mismatched shoes. Deal with it!”
Helena makes me laugh, with her, not at her. I dig her funky I dont give a shit attitude. She talks the talk, and walks the walk- always. Its not like she sometimes looks glam and sometimes like a clown- she is not trying to be edgy to get a career boost and some tabloid attention- she is just genuinely wacky!
That mother fucking rose. Seriously, she should be ashamed. And why did J-Lo have to destroy that dress with that shawl??? It made her look so old.
As per my favorite? I’m gonna have to give it to Angie. Hands down.
One last thing, Michael C. Hall (Dexter) should not grow a beard ever. Because it is orange. And weird looking.
I agree with your review — except for eva longoria, i think she looks kind of cute! I’m still reeling over that natalie portman dress though, I just can’t understand how she walked out of the house like that.
JANUARY JONES WAS ON FIRE LAST NIGHT!
I couldn’t believe Natalie P would make such a bad choice! I like the emeralds and the long sleeves a lot, but what’s up with the terrible hair, everybody?
Julianne Moore looked horrible, and I usually LOVE how she dresses- I don’t know if it’s the dress (could have done without the poofy sleeve) or the hair & makeup.
I’m right on with pretty much all your hits and misses…except for Angelina. She always dresses like an old lady to me. Yes, I realize she’s covering up those veiny, bony arms (maybe she should eat something) but still…uck! Oh and Jennifer Love Hewitt…isn’t she just always a disaster? That girl has 0 style most of the time. If she has a stylist, they should be shot.
I like the old lady dress!
And JLH- OY. She looks like the prom queen of 1997. Always. All the time.
You summed it all up so well. Great job choosing a dress for Natalie! Ever thought about becoming a stylist?
Ha! I have the worst style ever. For real.
i can’t wait to comment lol! first, you have to put a picture of january jones in her gorgeous versace red dress!! she looks amazing!!
i LOVE anne hathaway’s dress, shoulders and all. she totally pulls off the big shoulders!
i also love angelina jolie’s dress (for once it’s not black and boring) and mila kunis looks great too.
also i wanted to buy that alexander mcqueen dress for my cousins wedding in may because i will be 8 months pregnant but i decided i can’t buy that hoping that it fits me then because if it doesn’t, im screwed lol!
I dont know if that dress is still available! I love it though. I think there is boning in it, but you can probably have it taken out and adjusted. Its seriously one of the prettiest dresses ever.
And January Jones, I dont know what I thought of her, so I left it out!
i thought just about everyone looked like shit. except the guys. they guys killed this year.
i think angelina and emma stone looked the best. natalie portman looked terrible and not only that but her speech was weird too. if she wasnt pregnant i would have thought she was drunk.
If Anne Hathaway’s dress did indeed have a low cut back, it would be very sexy (well, except that it really makes her behind look flat). But it really has a full coverage- nude spandex fake-out- back. It’s like a a figure skaters costume back there. That nude fabric wrinkles up and shines!
She’s a lovely, lithe beauty anyway tho.
