2014 Golden Globes - A Fashion Review

I have had a lot of fun reviewing movies lately but I thought I could try my hand at a fashion review as well.  I love to watch the award shows - but I must admit, I mostly watch for the dresses.

I must say - the 2014 Golden Globes was very underwhelming.  No one really blew me away.  There were some gorgeous dresses - but nothing gave me that "WOW!" that I was waiting for.

So, in reverse order...here is my top 5 worst dressed:

#5

Berenice Bejo
Wearing Giambattista Valli

This was just too much for me.  The rose detailing
on the hips and shoulders added to her frame in
an unflattering way.  Also, I thought the top part
of the gown looked more like a wrinkled dress shirt .

#4
Emma Thompson
Wearing Lanvin


Too tight!!  The hair-do is not helping but the tightness of her skirt
is just awkward!  She can do so much better.


#3
Sandra Bullock
Wearing Prabal Gurung

Now...don't get me wrong.  I love Sandra Bullock!  And, she has been killing it lately on her Gravity tour.  This however, is not good.  The pink and blue color blocks just do not work with this dress...at all.  But, her hair and make-up are flawless!
 #2
Paula Patton
Wearing Stephane Rolland Couture

Just no.  The white "thing" growing out of her shoulder is just too
too much.  It's WAY too big and just too tissue looking to be glamorous.

#1
Catilin Fitzgerald
Wearing Emelia Wickstead

This is just bad.  The shoes are at least interesting but
I still don't like them.  The skirt bells out weirdly and the high neck
on the top is aging.  The hair is quite fried looking as well.
She definitely needs a do-over.

 On to the fun part...the best dressed!

#5
Monica Potter
Wearing Romona Keveza

Gorgeous!  She is glowing.  Some sites slammed this dress as too boring but I think she looks beautiful.  Her hair and make-up are just as perfect.
 #4
Kerry Washington
Wearing Balenciaga

Pregnancy perfection!

 #3
Kate Beckinsale
Wearing Zuhair Murad

Unbelievable!  She definitely knows what looks great on her body.
She rarely makes a misstep.  Radiant!

#2 
Margot Robbie
Wearing Gucci

The emerald detailing in the dress - along with the emerald shoes is just gorgeous!  I might have added a bracelet - but that is it.  She looks amazing.
 #1
Lupita Nyong'o
Wearing Ralph Lauren

Classic Ralph Lauren.  Simple yet perfect.  The color just pops against her skin and she is radiant and confident!


And finally...a little lesson on the color yellow...

                            The Right Way                 

The Wrong Way

Just as an after-thought just in case you thought I had missed out big time by not including Sofia Vergara on the best dressed list.  Yes - she looks gorgeous.  Yes - the dress fits her perfectly.  Yes - she looks almost exactly the same as every other red carpet event.  
Strapless - check
Hair loose and flowing - check

Maybe something just different next time??
