Golden Globes Red Carpet Goes Black 2018

/

Dior, Gucci, Tom Ford, Valentino, Miu Miu, Zac Posen, Brandon Maxwell, Prabal Gurung, Atelier Versace, Armani Prive, Louis Vuitton and Calvin Klein is who they wore. No one asked because for the first time in more than two decades, the red carpet focus was NOT fashion! That's not to say that our A-list faves were not chic or glamorous, they most definitely were, but instead they chose to place humanity over clothes and discuss the validity of their career and not the designer labels on their backs.

Black was the color du jour as celebs - veterans and newbies alike - stood in solidarity over gender inequality and sexual harassment within their industry, politics and beyond. Men and women at the Golden Globes brought overwhelming awareness to the #TimesUp initiative that promotes gender equality and an end to sexual harassment and abuse. Many celebrity women walked the red carpet with the founders of women-based non-profit organizations bringing further awareness of their mission and important work. Many of the men, donned the Times Up logo on a black & white pin on the lapel of their tuxedo.

Last night, Hollywood showed the world that glamour has a strong, powerful voice and they used it to ROAR about significant issues.

Golden Globes 2016 Fashion Recap

/

The kick-off to award season also means the start of red carpet fashion. Last night's Golden Globes had more fashion hits than misses, so overall, I'd say we're off to a good start! Jennifer Lawrence looked red hot in Dior and sporting a lighter shade of blonde. She is really coming into her own on the fashion front. Jennifer Lopez, stepped outside her comfort zone and embraced a mustard-yellow Giambattista Valli gown. She was stunning. Perfection from head-to-toe, so before all the haters start [or continue] to comment on JLo... check your personal insecurities at the door. Julianne Moore is always flawless and in Tom Ford, so would you. Alicia Vikander made Loius Vuitton proud and Lady Gaga was sophisticated in Versace.

The unfortunates of the evening, just to name a few+, because there were more than a few, were Zendaya, Bryce Dallas Howard, Maura Tierney, Katy Pery and Kate Hudson.

Zendaya is nothing more than a spoiled little girl playing dress up in women's clothing. Go away.

Bryce Dallas Howard bragged about shopping for her Jenny Packham at Neimans. Jenny must have been horrified at how frumpy she made her frock look. Bryce argued that as a size six she wanted choices... bitch please, you've got daddy money and can afford to have any designer dress you. Bryce look better in her Jurassic World white suit running through the mud and being chased by dinosaurs than she did on the red carpet in her old lady dress.

Kate Hudson must be going through a mid-life crisis because she looked like an old hooker. I mean, cougar. An old cougar. Cover up!

And speaking of covering up... Katy Pery had too much hair and too much 'Globes'... Did Prada run out of fabric? 

But, the worst of the worst goes to Maura Tierney. Did you notice that no one bothered asking who dressed her? Goodwill? Salvation Army thrift stores? And what about that hair?? Ladies, you know when you go to the gym and you pull up your hair to get it out of the way?

My best dressed ladies on the red carpet are those who know how to work a gown, how to style their hair, wear their make-up and accessorize with confidence. Of course, there's always room for improvement as you shall see... MY pick for best dressed  is 52 year old

Julianne Moore

. She embodies, fashion, style and sophistication. She was totally on trend with her black & white Tom Ford gown. Julianne knows how to wear a dress; the dress does not wear her. Younger starlets can learn a lot from watching Julianne Moore. Flawless.

Just look at that pose... a true A list celebrity... I hope Anne keeps her hair short for a little while!

Amy Adams looks beautiful and glamorous though the gown washes her out and I wish she had worn large earrings. It would have better balanced the silhouette.

Lucy Lui is so gorgeous in this Carolina Herrera gown. The dress is pristine while Lucy's hair not as perfect making the entire look fresh and modern.

I just adore Adele. Love her signing, love her speaking and love her style. The only suggestion I'll make is to consider a modern hairstyle.

LOVE the dress but really Robert Verdi (Eva's stylist) did you make her stick the leg out like that? It ruined it for me... Did anyone notice her walking down the carpet? Eva looked like a baby ostrich. It was very distracting. Not crazy about the hairstyle either. Seems like I've seen it, a lot.

Jessica needs to lose the necklace and take notes from Julianna Moore on how to wear a gown... It's wearing her.

[caption id="attachment_18878" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Jennifer Lawrence; Dior"]

Jennifer Lawrence does not deserve to wear this dress. She said to Ryan Seacrest, "I am wearing Dior Haute Couture. I don't know what "haute" means but I was supposed to say it." Clearly Jennifer is more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. The Dior had fit issues as well making her side profile weird looking around the cup area.

Julianne Hough wore her prom dress to the Golden Globes. How cute.

I nearly died when I learned this was a Zac Posen. Only Lena could make such a sophisticated gown look like some horrible Sherry Hill pageant dress. Lena, also had difficulty walking. She obviously couldn't work her heels. As for her HBO show Girls... I love it. I love her too actually! But I doubt she make any "best dressed" lists anywhere anytime...

The necklace is in violation of this look. Its all wrong. The bodice has no structure because of the oversized beading which did no favors to her figure. The hair didn't work. Again, you must always take everything into account. If you are dead set on wearing a particular dress, then the hair, shoes and jewelry MUST complement it.

The combination of the ill-fitted, sagging dress and the boring as heck hairstyle is a big, sad fail for Jessica Chastain. The dress is too long, btw.

It kills me to pronounce Halle Berry as MY worst dress pick, but she has gone rogue on good fashion! What is this?! Donatella Versace must have an expression of horror on her face, if she could move it. Was Halle coming from a movie set where she played a warrior princess?? And then, there's the awful leg trend that Angelina started. Halle Berry owes us big time at the next major awards show!!!

BTW, here is what the dress looked like on the Versace runway:
