best in show

i apologize for not being the early bird with this Golden Globes post. i was out in the country without (gasp!!) even having access to any red carpet shows!! while on one hand it did make me have heart palpitations for a moment, i have to be honest. the peace and quiet was worth it! but here we are now, so let's just have a look at what i loved the most, shall we?

there was a bit of green on the carpet. i love a good dash of color when it's done right. when it's done wrong a person looks as if she is wearing a chenille bedspread. i name no names there. i am more of a neutral person i must admit - so it does take a killer dress for me to love it. and i LOVE Angelina Jolie in Versace. she rarely does bold color and this was a gorgeous departure from her norm, while keeping to her signature slim sexy silhouette. love the sparkle and adore the low back exposing her tattoos. haute couture sexy bad-ass. LOVE.

my most recent girl crush also hit the mark in Vera Wang. Mila Kunis wears this dress perfectly. it almost feels like a "coming out" dress for her as a serious actress. the shape of the dress is gorgeous in and of itself, fits her to perfection, and the texture of the fabric hurls it over the edge into the absolutely fabulous
realm. brilliantly played.

over to the other side of color... another clump of ladies rocked the nudes. with varying success. a number of dresses got a bit lost in the details. what could have been perfect was way over-worked. rising above this was the absolute genius simplicity of Emma Stone in Calvin Klein. she was spot on PERFECT - just abs gorge. she wears it like it's her own skin. everything about her is perfectly pulled together here, and she beats out my girl crushes for my favorite of the evening.

cheers to all the winners and nominees at the awards!!
