Golden fashion moments at Globes
Pale nudes were definitely the top colour of choice for dresses; Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a heavenly dress by Roland Mouret with folds of fabric decorating a tight silhouette that released at the knees to a mermaid style train of flounces. Vogue did a top 10 list of the best dresses on the runway and nominated Gyllenhaal as best dressed. Some other women who had the same colours in mind when selecting their outfit include Drew Barrymore, decked out in Atelier Versace that was seen by everybody when she accepted her award for “Best Performance By An Actress In A Miniseries Or Motion Picture Made For Television” for her work on Grey Gardens (HBO). Emily Blunt wore a light pink strapless gown by Dolce & Gabbana, adorned with flowing folds and ripples of soft tulle fabrics. Some chic black dresses were spotted as well; some of my favourites being January Jones' Lanvin dress with a satin belt and collared neckline and asymmetrical flounces at one shoulder, she accessorized with a matching headband. Penelope Cruz wore vintage Armani Prive, black with horizontal stripes, lace at bust and sleeves and tiers of fabric from her knees to the floor. Kate Winslet chose black Yves Saint Laurent, Jennifer Aniston in black Valentino, Courtney Cox Arquette in a strapless black Victoria Beckham dress garnished with Lorraine Schwartz jewels at the belt, and the lovely and legendary Sophia Loren really turned heads in her black hourglass Armani Prive frock with a plunging sweetheart neckline.
Diamonds and beads on dresses were very common- the most beautiful and probably most expensive being Jennifer Garner's Atelier Versace dress with Bulgari jewels, but Anna Paquin also showed off some glimmer in a golden Stella McCartney gown. I found Ferragamo shoes to be the most popular choice for the evening, with good reasoning, but the most popular accessory had to be the rainbow coloured ribbons worn to support relief efforts for victims of the Haiti earthquake. Many celebs voiced their concern on the matter with George Clooney even stating that he was up three days straight working on putting together a telethon with proceeds to go to Haiti relief. Also, Chrysler teamed up with the Golden Globes and donated a 2010 Chrysler 300c Sedan that will be auctioned to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief efforts. Celebrities gathered around to sign the car - everyone from Paul McCartney to Nicole Kidman to Leona Lewis.
