Golden Globes Glamour

Let's do a little run down of Golden Globes fashion, shall we (which, by and large, I have to confess I was disappointed with - not nearly enough risk takers in my opinion. But then again, who am I to dictate what the stars wear?).

Here we have Amanda Peet. And I do not understand what is happening here. She looks like she stole all the shabby lace curtains from someone's grandmother's house (or a weird aunt) and stitched them together.

This gown is very reminiscent of a blue one that Poehler wore to the 2011 Emmy Awards but it's working for her. Also I want to hang out with Leslie Knope and Gob Bluth so they can pretty much wear whatever they want and I will think they're amaze balls.

I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about this. I mean I like the silhouette but I'm not sure about the cream and white. Thoughts?

This is just too much for me, although Charlize looks amazing in the blush color.

I appreciated the risk taking involved in wearing orange but I'm not sure this entirely works for Dianna Agron...it's just a lot of dress with a lot of detail work.

My pick for the night's best dressed, Emma Stone looks radiant and bold in Lanvin.

But Evan Rachel Wood was a close second for me - the feathering on this gown is just a show stopper.

I really thought Glenn Close looked refined and elegant...black works for her.

Jessica Biel in another dress I don't get - it's not the most flattering cut on her and it just strikes me as bridal...or as something Dolly Parton might have worn to perform in in the late 80s (wait, that's not a bad thing....).

Yes this is simple and not terribly dramatic, but with her gorgeous red hair and the emerald earrings, Julianne Moore looks radiant.

Oh Julie Bowen, you always seem to draw the short end of the stick when it comes to award show attire. This isn't a terrible dress or anything (objectively, it's quite beautiful) but without a bolder lip color or some statement accessories I just feel like it washes her out. And then there's the hair.

Obviously emerald was a huge trend on red carpets past and so Laura Dern is a bit behind the curve, but she also looks absolutely amazing and it's great to see a re-articulation of emerald.

Merly Streep has a fairly prominent history of whack-a-do dressing for events like this but, honestly, she's got far more important things in life to care about and she'll be perfect no matter what she wears. So free pass.

As the new face of Dior it's unsurprising that Mila Kunis would opt for a Dior creation at the Globes and I really love this on her. She made some bold and very successful sartorial choices at last year's awards season and, while this is definitely more sedate, I think she looks elegant and sexy - and that's not a bad combo.

I was personally wowed by Salma Hayek's Art Deco-inspired look.

This was my least favorite of the night. It's Monique Lhuillier and, while the print is lovely, the silhouette is just too overwrought. It's too much dress.

The Swinton! Who, as you know, can do no wrong in my eyes. Also, she's wearing Haider Ackermann, one of my favorite designers. The architectural work on the jacket pairs up perfectly with the architectural majesty of her hair and I am forced to bow down before her.

Viola Davis has been pulling it out at her various public appearances lately and last night was no different. I just love this on her. And the gold clutch is a perfect touch.
