An ongoing love affaire with all things fashionable, tasty and fun

Party Party Party

Since just having a red carpet for the Golden Globes wouldn’t be enough exposure, all of the events after the show have their own red carpets. Not complaining, mind you, just acknowledging the ridiculousness of the whole thing.

Anyway, here are more pretty people in pretty clothes for all of us to enjoy!

A bright pink cocktail frock w/ pointy cobalt pumps? Absolutely! Ahan O'Reilly was a pretty picture at the Warner Brothers InStyle Afterparty.

Jessica went from an embellished pale rose column gown to a glitzy metallic tube-dress. Again, her earrings are PHENOMENAL. This girl knows how to accessorize her dresses.

 

I absolutely LOVED this midnight blue & black Zac Posen gown. The keyhole top is interesting and modern while the bottom is 20's-inspired with its intricate beading and pleats. Gorgeous!

Miranda Kerr was a vision in a pale blue, floral, sequined Dolce & Gabbana tea-length frock. The cut at the bodice and the sequins keep the print from being matronly and the overall look is unusual and really striking.

J'adore bleue! Joe Manganiello stood out with his bright blue button down. I like that his tie has a subtle black on black pattern as well.

Garcelle Beauvais was a vision in red. In addition to the fabric being a really eye-catching color and texture, the capsleeves and pockets kick it up another notch. Just wow.

Jamie Chung looked great in a pale, breezy shift dress and killer platforms. I thought that this look was fun and relaxed, she seemed much more comfortable than a lot of the other ladies.

Golden Girls. And Boys.

The 2012 Golden Globe Awards were Sunday night and the ladies & gents did not disappoint. Join me.

One of the most talked about looks of the night was Angelina Jolie in cream & red Aterlier Versace. Whether you're a fan of hers or not, its hard to argue that this isn't a striking, head-turning look.

I love dramatic black and white gowns and I absolutely adored the sequin embellished open back of this J. Mendel dress. Such a great choice for her.

Nicole Richie was an art deco goddess in Julien Macdonald. Loved the dress. Loved the stacked bangles. Loved the stand out clutch. Would kill for the ring and earrings. Kill.

Shailene Woodley was by far the most well-dressed of the starlets her age. Her strapless Marchesa was a beautiful fit and color, I just wish she's added some bright jewelry or a flashy clutch.

The drama queen of the night was Evan Rachel Wood in a knockout green Gucci gown. Say that three times fast! The cut, the sequined embellishments, the feathery train... Fabulous.

If you'd shown me this gown prior to the red carpet, I would have assumed she was the wearer, so it is very much sticking with her style of late. Something dramatic and out of character is always nice at these more important awards shows, but I have to admit that she looks striking. No faults here!

The high in the front, low in the back hems are not my favorite, but this Christian Dior gown is breathtaking. She looks phenomenal, from her diamond encrusted headband to her strappy cream sandals. Bravo!

Haider Ackermann has been Tilda Swinton's go-to designer for the last few years and you have to admit that this combination gown/blazer suits her unbelievably well. And the fit is absolutely perfect. Love the double cuffs.

Nicole Kidman was quite a sight in studded Versace. She's been a fan of the pale, almost bridal looking gowns the last few years but I have to say that I like this one best of all of her choices lately.

Helen Mirren held her own in Badgley Mischka, outshining stars half her age. Proof that aging gracefully is where it's at!

Jessica Alba always chooses eye-catching, flattering gowns for the red carpet, but one of her real strengths is her accessories. She always has AMAZING jewelry. And these earrings and cuff are just as gorgeous as expected.

There were lots of neutrals and sequins on this year's Golden Globes red carpet and I found Miss Natalie's dress all the more striking for how much it stood out from her peers. Similar cut and style to Angelina's, but in a much more striking color combination.

This wasn't the most loved gown of the evening, but personally I couldn't take my eyes off of her. The color was divine with her skin tone and hair color, the cut suited her extremely well and it was a head turning look overall.

Ready for some yummy men in tuxedos? Me too.

Swoon. Mr. Darcy.

Bradley Cooper looked dapper in a strandard bowtie tux & some questionable facial hair.

Personally I'm a big fan of ties over bowties with a tux so Channing Tatum's look really did it for me.

First, I have to say that I was devastated that two of my all time favorites didn’t appear to be in attendance for the Golden Globes. SOB. But in Diane and Zoe’s absence Evan brought the glamour.

My favorites?

  • Best jewelry – Nicole Richie
  • Best hair – Charlize Theron (LOVED the jeweled headband)
  • Best dress – Couldn’t decide on just one. Top three: Tilda Swinton, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone. With Charlize Theron & Angelina where right on behind them though.
  • Best tux – Colin Firth. Of course.
