It's that time of year again, kiddos! The Golden Globes have come and gone, and in their trail they have left chaos and controversy. And I don't only mean because Avatar won Best Motion Picture -Drama (UGH. Don't get me started on that one).The real controversies, at least in my eyes, start on the red carpet. That's where America has some say in the winners and losers. And there were a lot of each, let me tell you. I'll begin with the good news.
Jennifer Aniston, as always, looks FANTASTIC. Good God, I wish I knew her secret. At 40, Jenn looks just as beautiful as she did back in her Friends days. Although she came under some criticism and ended up on a few worst dressed lists (WTF?!) for wearing black yet again, Jenn is one of the best in my opinion. Always consistent, she never over does it, preferring to stick to elegant black gowns with unique elements like the draping of this Valentino couture gown. Her shoes are Versace and elongate her gorgeous stems even more than they normally are, which is extremely helpful when wearing a thigh-high slit. A dress cut like this is difficult to pull off without looking a bit thick in the thighs, but Jenn manages to do it effortlessly. Big props for that!
I'm not a huge fan of Sandra Bullock - Miss Congeniality is all I can think of when I see her. But apparently her performance in The Blind Side was extremely impressive, and so is her choice of gown. The violet Bottega Veneta creation is absolutely lovely on Sandra, and she stands out without trying too hard. We don't see that enough, so way to go, girl! Also, she recently donated $1 million to the Haiti relief drive. She's quickly redeeming herself for Miss Congeniality as far as I'm concerned, and she's one of the best dressed for this year. Absolutely lovely.
Unfortunately, not everyone was as lovely as these two fabulous women. There were some other winners, such as Kate Hudson, Drew Barrymore, Penelope Cruz, and many more, but there were also the flops, as there are every year. Some stars just can't seem to get
their act (or their stylists) together! Although definitely not the most heinous, Fergie makes my worst dressed list. Sorry, hun!
Let me say one thing before I cut into Fergie-Ferg. The Golden Globes are not a chance to relive your high school senior prom. That is why I absolutely abhor Fergie's Ellie Saab dress. I have personal beef with the color lavender, but I could have overlooked it if Fergie hadn't accessorized with a tacky orange tan, ridiculous cleavage, cakey make-up, and a I-Just-Had-a-Quickie-in-the-Limo hair-do. Seriously, I'm having high school flashbacks, and they aren't pleasant!! Really, Ferg? Thank God you had Josh Duhamel on your arm. He's almost sexy enough to distract me from that outfit (although I can't imagine why he stuck around all night)!
Check out more fashion flops on Diane Kruger (Christian Lacroix gone so, so wrong), Tina Fey (I'm actually at a loss for words), Mariah Carey (oh hey, boobs!!), Cher (I swear she does it on purpose at this point), and Rita Wilson (her dress may have matched her drapes).
