Golden Globes 2010: Wet Carpet Glam

3 Comments

Last night’s Golden Globes kept me on my toes! So long boring red carpet – hello risky, fun fashion! I loved all the fashion that showed up on the red carpet – from the variety in dress shapes to the different hues and shades to the dazzling, exquisite jewellery.  The glamour radar was sky high even with all that nasty rain.

One of the biggest trends seen last night was ruffles.  We saw some edgy, roughly cut ruffles…

Ruffles

Zoe Saldana in Louis Vuitton; Jennifer Morrison in Luis Antonia

As well as some soft, cascading ruffles.

The bling was on on the red carpet.  Celebrities showed their glamour with beading, jewels, sequins and stones.

Jewels

Toni Collette in Elie Saab; Olivia Wilde in Gucci; Heather Graham in Elie Saab; Jennifer Garner in Versace

Some created a flattering shape with a jewel-clinched waist.

Waist Jewels

Courtney Cox in Victoria Beckham; Fergie in Elie Saab; Julie Bowen in Georges Hobeika

Coinciding with a major trend we are seeing in fashion, designers dressed stars in sharp shoulders.

Lace-details peeked their way into dresses.

Stars in hues of purple looked royal on the red carpet.

All the blush tones were far from boring.

Maybe it was the rain, but some daring ones chose to keep it short.

Kristen Bell in Jasmine di Milo; Julia Roberts in YSL; Amy Adams in Carolina Herrera; Ginnifer Goodwin in Vionnet

The one-shoulder never fails to deliver an elegant look.

One of my favourite trends was the sculptural look that some stars rocked.  Some showed rigidity with their architectural dresses….

Christina Aguilera in Versace; Kate Hudson in Marchesa Bridal

While others took a softer turn with their dresses looking almost like origami.

Finally, there are always the few mega risk takers that truly stood out in the crowd.

    Didn’t got the chance to watch the Golden Globes,
    so it’s nice to see a summary of the dresses!

    It’s great to see Zoe Saldana decently, without the Avatar make-up..
    She looks gorgeous!
    And there aren’t so many people who could pull off wearing Diana Kruger’s dress,
    but of course, she can pull off anything..
    I love her dress!

    Love your top picks – fine work!

    My favorite was Sofia Vergara in Carolina Herrera by far – the color combination was so original and beautiful, followed by Penelope Cruz in Armani Prive. She looked stunning on so many levels. I was also a BIG fan of the sharp shoulders, definitely a style I would wear…the dresses were classy & subdued all the way around for good reason given the current devastation/situation. Loved that Sandra Bullock wore a purple Bottega, she looked fantastic.
