Archives for January 2011

I wasn’t going to mention Golden Globe dresses because pretty much everyone is talking about them… but because everyone keeps talking it makes me want to say something. First, I don’t believe in worst dress lists anymore. I think they are just mean and we already have enough hate based media in the world. I think we should spend more time telling one another how good we look and when we don’t think so we should shut up. No one needs or appreciates having their appearance put under a microscope and really what purpose does it serve other than maliciousness. Hiding behind the “education” viewpoint is a cop out because the same could be said about all the “if you ate better and exercised you wouldn’t be fat” comments. And we all know the real sentiment behind those. Off soap box and on to favorite dress picks for the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. There were so many women in beautiful dresses and it was very hard to limit myself to ten favorites:

1. My absolute favorite for the evening was Jennifer Lopez-Anthony
2. Jane Krakowski showed off her lovely baby bump in a soft blue goddess gown.
3. Claire Danes was very Hepburn in pink.
4. Amber Riley was looking particularly Hollywood in her one shoulder gown that highlighted her curves.
5. Christina Hendricks rocked the red and ruffles.
6. Milla Jovovich was a model of grace and perfection.
7. Catherine Zeta-Jones made me green with envy with her subtly sparkling deep green gown.
8. Christina Aguilera shone in her pop meets Hollywood glam lace overlay gown.
9. Elisabeth Moss was all wrapped up in her multi-directional gown.
10. Mandy Moore was electric in this classic blue gown.
11. Scarlett Johansson was classically divine in her pale lace gown.

It was obvious from the red carpet what colors are going to reign supreme as we go deeper into 2011 — deep green and the palest of pinks.
