There were a lot of surprises on the Golden Globes and not least of which is Sasha Baron Cohen winning for Borat (I personally think he’s brilliant and had the funniest acceptance speech, if you can call it that). I don’t think anybody expected Eddie Murphy to ever beat out Jack Nicholson for any award involving acting skills and of course the underdog of underdogs, Jennifer Hudson proves that American Idol cannot be trusted for picking out real stars. I hated the Devil Wears Prada but how can you not love Meryl Streep? Don’t we all wish we could be like her? Dignified, humble and get everything you want without having to be a bitch about it. OK, enough gibber gabber, let’s get to what we all want – the fashion. I loved that there was a lot of color and tons and tons of WHITE!! Many were highly questionable but where’s the fun for us if celebrities don’t take risks?
Sienna Miller
Like Sienna Miller, I really expected a lot more from her, I’m not sure why I would but this Cesar’s Palace get up was so far from her usual edgy style. That braided headband is like the kind you find at a mall kiosk. The whole look was very I-went-to-the-local- Macy’s.
Salma Hayek
You really can’t fault Salma Hayek for wanting to show off her hot bod but from certain angles this gown is clearly not flattering. The white is great for showing off the design of the dress but as we all know, it is a huge risk when it is body hugging.
Cameron Diaz
I know people are going to make fun Cameron Diaz’s Bjork inspired gown, but if you look at the whole thing and not just the one shoulder wing, it is really a great gown. The ribbon belted waist line is super adorable. Her make up was another story, it’s way too harsh and with the dark hair, it’s just not a good combo for her.
Ellen Pompeo
I really didn’t like Ellen Pompeo’s futuristic Greek goddess toga. And I don’t know why she thinks it’s a good idea to pull her hair back (remember last year’s slicked back grossness?). Maybe I just don’t like her whiny character on Grey’s Anatomy and it is skewing my view.
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner had the worst white gown on but that aside, I think she looks great. Motherhood definitely suits her and the extra pounds has done wonders to soften her face. She looks really pretty and fresh and happy.
Rinko Kikuhi
Rinko Kikuhi decided to show up as a Dr. Seuss character. I guess it could be interpreted as cute and interesting but I can’t get over how all those shower poofs look like poodle pom poms.
Angelina Jolie
Other than looking like she was made to show up at gunpoint, Angelina Jolie looked incredibly good. Too bad her sour puss face ruined it for everyone. It just goes to show that no matter how beautiful, hot and sexy you are, personality does count. It pays to smile once in a while.
Beyonce
I think Beyonce sent in her wax mannequin robot in her place. Her skin was so perfect, it looked fake and waxy. And that dress fit her almost a little too well, it really really accentuated her famous derriere.
Renee Zellweger
I loved Renee Zellweger’s jewel toned gown. The pleat that opens up is simple and understated but really flattering and adds interest. The emerald really shows off well on Renee’s fair skin – all it takes is a bold and beautiful color to create a red carpet look that stands out.
Vanessa Williams
I love Vanessa Williams and she did me proud by showing up looking absolutely stunning! I even loved her big hair – it worked by keeping her neck bare. The bronze lace in the varying cuts and ruching looks perfect on her, making her long and lean.
Penelope Cruz
We have to give Penelope Cruz props for her Chanel Couture. It is absolutely fab even though it was simple black. The belt on the overall ruffled gown is so delightful and chic. I loved that is was a little bit flamenco and a little bit princess.
Jennifer Lopez
I hate to do this to my beloved but what the hell was Jennifer Lopez wearing? It’s either a tablecloth or a sheet. The asymmetrical and the cheesy gold border and the sash in the back, the whole thing was so incredibly hideous. How can she do this to me? Is she like, look at me, I can wear the ugliest mess, be married to a rat and still be a gorgeous diva?
