Whether it was Julianne Moore‘s jaw-dropping metallic feather number or the way George Clooney made the whole room blush when he thanked his new wife Amal, the 72nd annual Golden Globesonce again gave us all something to talk about. And the red carpet…well it certainly left us satisfied and hungry for more. From Lupita’s floral bodice to Rosamund’s unique cutouts, here were the trends direct from the 2015 Golden Globes red carpet.
Best Dressed
Two stellar hosts – two amazing trends on the red carpet! Tina Fey & Amy Poehler pulled out all the stops – showing up in a tea-length gown (Fey) and long sleeves (Poehler.) Of course, they had costume changes throughout the night but how can you say no to hilarious hosts who happen to be supremely stylish?
Tina Fey in Antonio Berardi Amy Poehler in Stella McCartney
A slew of showstoppers rounded out the evening in trends that included everything from incredible colors to draping, pleats, cut-outs, feathers, sequins, metallics, crop tops and more. And yet, fashionistas like Amy Adams, Naomi Watts, and Katie Holmes stood out from the pack. Here were the best dressed of the evening:
Naomi Watts in GucciAmy Adams in VersaceKate Hudson in VersaceHelen Mirren in Dolce & Gabbana
I know people were asking this about JLo but…does Helen Mirren ever age?
Lupita Nyong’o in Giambattista Valli
Give it up for Lupita to look stunning as usual – and yet, completely different from everyone else out there.
Katherine Heigl in Zac Posen
Minimal, subdued, but the cut on Katherine’s figure is fantastic.
Melissa McCarthy in DIY dress
I want to say it’s the weight loss, but it’s not…this is the best Melissa McCarthy has ever looked. Not sure if you all agree, especially when you find out that Melissa actually chopped up pieces from her closet to make this DIY dress, but I really think she looks fabulous.
Jessica Chastain in VersaceAnna Kendrick in Monique Lhuillier
A bit stiff with the side part but otherwise this works.
Katie Holmes in Marchesa
The draping on this Marchesa gown is stunning and Katie Holmes is a clear winner in my book, even though she wasn’t up for any awards. I’m not sure if the slicked ponytail did anything for the neckline of this gown, but the color and silhouette are stunning.
Emma Stone in Lanvin
Leave it to Emma Stone to take a big risk and come out winning.
More trends coming this way…
Striking MetallicsJulianne Moore in Givenchy
Metals and sequins and feathers…oh my!
Dakota Johnson in Chanel Couture
If you thought Julianne Moore was enough, well then you didn’t see Dakota Johnson mesmerizing all of us in this strapless sequin number that took firm hold of her sex appeal and one of the biggest trends of the night!
Uzo Aduba in Randi RahmLight MetallicsDiane Kruger in Emilia WicksteadReese Witherspoon in Calvin Klein
Reese Witherspoon always looks stunning in Calvin Klein. This is the second year in a row she’s worn the designer — but whatever it is, it’s working. Also, it’s a completely different look from last year’s column which was an aquamarine color.
Salma Hayek in Alexander McQueenKate Beckinsale in Elie SaabJennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad
Somehow, the cleavage isn’t as dramatic as it was back when JLo wore that green Versace jungle dress to the Grammys. Still, many were wondering how the 45-year old stays so ageless. If you want to know my opinion (which you probably don’t, but I’ll give it to you anyway) I think she has aged in the course of a year and her makeup is too severe. Also the blond washes her out. Thoughts?
Showstopping Colors & PastelsZosia Mamet in Andrew Gn
I know that most have a love/hate relationship with this dress, but I personally loved it.
Kerry Washington in Mary Katzantrou
For me, this isn’t Kerry Washington‘s finest moment, but kudos on the risk-taking.
Ruth Wilson in PradaClaire Danes in Maison Valentino
Everyone was so surprised to see Claire Danes in Valentino, because she’s so prone to wearing Calvin Klein or something minimal. I don’t love this dress, but I do like that she surprised everyone.
Lana del Ray in TravillaLana del Rey had Little Mermaid references coming at her all night – what with this sea-foam green pleated number and the style of her hair. Still, it was a showstopper!
Natasha Lyonne in Reem AcraCindy Crawford in Versace
Now here’s a woman who never ages…
Maria Menonous in Gabriela CadenaSienna Miller in Miu MiuRed
It was a striking statement last year and once again the red won us over…
Allison Williams in Armani PriveTaylor Schilling in Ralph LaurenCatherine Zeta-Jones in Angel SanchezJulianna Margulies in Ulyana Sergeenko
I love that Julianna Margulies picked Ulyana, a designer that does amazing work but is still making a name for herself. Love the tea-length, love the red but DO NOT love Julianna’s updo. It makes her face look old and taut.
Viola Davis in Donna Karan AtelierHeidi Klum in VersaceKate Mara in Miu Miu
The belt was a bit out of place, but I actually enjoyed Kate Mara‘s look. I know there were qualms about her hair, but I liked it! What did you think?
Lena Dunham in Zac PosenJane Fonda in VersaceJane Fonda is 75 years old. That is all.
Necklines – Boatneck, One-Shoulder, Cut Outs and More Felicity Jones in Christian DiorJulie Louis-Dreyfus in Narciso RodriguezKristen Wiig in Delphine ManivetEmily Blunt in Michael KorsRosamund Pike in Vera Wang
Kudos to Rosamund Pike for showing off her post-baby body! In that respect, she looked amazing! Still, this Vera Wang number failed to impress even with those impressive cut outs. I think it had something to do with her breasts sagging just a bit. No JLo breast tape here!
Best Dressed Couples
Which couple dressed best this evening? And which one looked extremely awkward? Who knew Camila & Jenna would wear similar dresses? Who knew Keira‘s husband was as “unique” and “awkward” as she was? Who knew Jennifer Aniston would wear Saint Laurent? Who knew David Oyelowo and his wife would match? And who knew Amal would wear those gloves? (And that button, of course.)
Anna Faris (in Reem Acra) & Chris PrattChanning Tatum & Jenna Dewan-Tatum (in Carolina Herrera)Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves (in Monique Lhuillier)Joshua Jackson & Diane Kruger (Emilia Wickstead)Benedict Cumberbatch & Sophie Hunter (in Erdem)James Righton & Keira Knightley (in Chanel)Jessica & David OyelowoColin Firth & Livia GiuggioliAdam Levine & Behati Prinsloo (in Kaufmanfranco)Justin Theroux & Jennifer Aniston (in Saint Laurent)George & Amal Clooney (in Christian Dior)
Best couple of the night – hands down! And yet, Amal doesn’t overpower her hubby (or anyone else) with too much fashion. She’s subdued, sophisticated, and lets George have his night. And the gloves…well she tried!! I like it.
