Golden Globes- It's all about the dresses...

Well, the prequel to the Oscars was in full flow last week and although there was some hype about the winners and losers. However this blogger could not tell you who won what, as I was concerned about the same thing that women everywhere were concerned with- who wore what! It truly is ALWAYS about the dresses and the paps screaming "Who are you wearing?"

Here are some of the dresses which received the most attention, for both good and definitely bad reasons.....



Here's Kate wearing a Marchesa gown. Yes, it is Marchesa. Yes, it probably was sown by blind nuns. And yes, it does make her look like she got lost on the way to the church to get married. Dear God Kate, sack the stylist. The platform shoes, the sweeping train.....The saving grace came in the form of her chiseled face, blood red nails and stunning Stephen Russell Contemporary Collection.
Result: FAIL






Next contestant please.....



Ahh Mariah. This dress has got ridiculed by the press and fashion critics. But people be fair. This is a 40 year old woman in a Herve Leger by Max Azria body con dress and her body is smoking! You will find no 'she brought her own golden globe jokes' on this blog. Just admiration for this woman. Well done Maz!
Result: Pass









Step up Drew....



Here is one that is undecided by this blog. Ms Barrymore hits Spring/Summer trends on the nose in this Atelier Versace light peach gown adorned with Swarovski crystals. The one big shoulder is amazing but the 'thing' on her hip just does not sit well with me. It brings to mind images of Bootstrap Bill in Pirates of the Caribbean with barnacles and the such sticking out of his face.....

Result: Undecided





The one that shocked....



I will be the first to admit that I LOVE Jennifer Aniston. Her hair, her face, her eyes....I think the woman is just a goddess. But Jen, less is more. This Valentino couture gown borders on slutty in my opinion. The thigh high slash is just too much. The black is just too safe and a habit Aniston cannot seem to break. The one time she did,the result was amazing (Valentino light blue gown at the premiere of Marley and ME).

Result: Disappointment




The one that surprised.....



Although she has been compared to the Jean Paul Gaultier Femme bottle, I think that Christina Aguilera shone at the awards. Its almost what Drew Barrymore's dress wanted to be. The Versace gown paired with Nina Ricci jewels is everything the Golden Globes encompasses......glamour, daring dress design, classic labels and diamonds.

Result: A+ Ms Aguilera
