Golden Globe Style

After several years of not watching any of the awards shows, I'm back on the band wagon and watching the Golden Globes. I was not disappointed, due in large part to Ricky Gervais. Can he please host every awards show from now on? I was in stitches.

Some other highlights:

• Mo'Nique's acceptance speech was filled with so much emotion - it was inspiring.
• Mickey Rourke and his gorgeous date (just how old was she?) couldn't keep their hands off each other.
• Meryl Streep's speech was lovely lovely lovely.
• Drew Barrymore's reference to Jeff Spicoli - awesome.

And now... on to the fashion. One shoulder dresses definitely made a statement on the red carpet, as did platform heels (NOT a favourite current trend of mine) and large drop earrings.

Here are my favourites:

Tea Leoni graced the red carpet in an oversized shirt and simple black skirt, a welcome change amongst all of the gowns. She looked stunningly understated and sexy.


Marion Cotillard donned a one shoulder number by Christian Dior.

Julia Roberts stole my attention in the red carpet special. She was full of personality (and perhaps some pre-awards show wine) and was absolutely glowing. Her hair was fantastic and that necklace was a great statement piece.


Carey Mulligan in Nina Ricca.


Sofia Vergara wore a grey gown with a splash of red across the bodice.


Ginnifer Goodwin's Vionnet dress was electrifying. The blue was stunning.


Courtenay Cox looked radiant.

Toni Collette's dress draped perfectly.

Meryl Streep accomplished simple elegance and looked beautiful in her classy gown.

Kevin Bacon's tuxedo, hair and glasses made me swoon. (Picture coming soon...)

Cameron Diaz looked exquisite in her brilliant red McQueen gown. The cap sleeves were a fantastic touch.

Jennifer Aniston was a knock out with her slit up to there by Valentino.
