68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Tina Fey in L'Wren Scott Spring 2011

Tina Fey put away her Mary Poppins Umbrella of last year and donned a navy blue silk charmeuse (or possibly velvet?) fitted gown by Mick Jagger's partner, Designer L'Wren Scott.

It featured a scooped V-neck and flange-like ruffles (yes, kids, I'm throwing out Fashion School Terminology 101 at you!). To be honest, I'm, "on the fence" on this one, it definitely looked better onstage than it did here in this picture...What did y'all think?

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Michelle Williams in Valentino Resort 2011

Here's actress Michelle Williams in Valentino Resort 2011 designed by the House's Designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. It's a flower printed/embroidered Silk Gazar featuring one of the most popular gown detail at this year's Globes: The cascading ruffle.

I'm not a big fan of this gown on Michelle. My main problem is how WIDE the bust/top section is. I would have dropped that neckline about one and half inches. It almost looks dowdy. Her hair and make-up, however look so beautiful! Tell me what you thought...


68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Scarlett Johansson in Elie Saab Spring 2011

Another all-over beaded gown--yes, it's a 2011 Golden Globe Trend officially! Actress Scarlett Johansson in Elie Saab Spring 2011. The blush-nude colored all-over beaded gown features a deep V neckline and caplet detail at the shoulders (similar to Jennifer Lopez' Zuhair Murad gown).

On the runway, it was belted but Scarlett (and/or her stylist) decided not to. With her dramatic hair and the "Antique" look of this sublime gown, she almost looks as if she stepped out of a John Singer Sargent painting.

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad Spring 2011

Jennifer Lopez in ivory silk chiffon gown from Beirut-based Designer's Zuhair Murad Spring 2011 Collection.

It's HEAVEN! Give it to them Miss JLo! This white silk chiffon front-gathered gown with see-through capelet featuring gorgeous light-to-heavy sequins is SOOOO my Mom at a Caracas Embassy Party circa 1975. I have to say, Jennifer Lopez really is the ultimate DIVA on the Red Carpet. She doesn't play kids. EVERY detail is accounted for; from the white eye shadow to the sequined purse to the earrings, bracelet and nail color. And what I love most is when she gets up to do the interviews on the Red Carpet, she's all "Who me?? I'm just Jenny from the Block." PUHLEEEASE!!!! What did you guys think of this gown?

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Halle Berry in Nina Ricci Fall 2009

The gorgeous Halle Berry in Nina Ricci (from Olivier Theyskens' last Fall 2009 Collection for the house).
*Thank you to my informed commenter/reader for pointing it out--LOVE my readers!

Wish I could say the same for that gown. Two Words: Oh Dear. In a sea of Statement-Making Architecturally Draped Gowns and all-over beaded stunners, she shows up in this? A black chiffon and satin bustier dress that looks as if she's wearing her undergarments and hasn't actually gotten dressed yet. Is it 2003 or 2011?

The under-dress cuts her off at the thigh and the chiffon over-drape skirt is just odd. And to top everything off, she makes a very safe and dated shoe choice. If she had gone with an edgier platform shoe, I might have thought she was making a statement. Definitely NOT one of my favorites of the night. And interestingly enough, why I do LOVE it on the model, on the runway, and with those STOMPING boots? But, wow, Halle is GA-GA-GORGEOUS!!?? Look at that body, that face!!! What did you guys think of her gown choice?

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Sandra Bullock in Jenny Packham Spring 2011

I love this gown that Sandra Bullock is wearing here on the 68th Annual Golden Globes Red Carpet...but I'm not loving the hair WITH this gown.

I like the one-shoulder delicately beaded blouson shape of this Jenny Packham Spring 2011 gown and I just feel that wearing the hair down--and with such severe bangs distracted from the dresses soft and feminine quality. No one's looking at the dress--just her hair. And with one shoulder dresses, it's all about showing that exposed shoulder, not hiding it. I still ADORE you Miss Sandra.

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman in Custom Prada

Custom seems to be the "new" Couture. It's no longer fine to wear the runway sample on a Made-to-measure Haute Couture Gown from the French and Italian Fashion Houses.. No kids, seems that actresses and their stylists now turn to non-Haute Couture Houses (Calvin Klein, Prada, etc.) and get their gowns custom made.

In other words, you won't find this style in any Look Book. Also, a lot of these design companies, of course, are offering custom designs to these A-List clients GRATIS, in exchange for the press and that Red Carpet Moment. And so we have Exhibit A: Statuesque actress Nicole Kidman in ivory all-over sequin paillette one-shoulder Custom Prada gown. Prada doesn't do gowns. But for Nicole: Si!

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Natalie Portman in Viktor and Rolf

What was "Black Swan" actress Natalie Portman going to wear? This was the BIG Fashion Question on everyone's lips. Tout le Monde (including moi) said it was going to be Dior (she's a Spokesperson for Dior Perfumes) or Rodarte (they costumed "Black Swan"), but no, she wore a strapless dusty pink silk charmeuse gown by the Dutch design duo of Viktor & Rolf.

The silhouette, and draped cascading center front ruffle were perfect to "hide" her little baby bump. And the oversized sequin rose placed right at the bust line also drew your eye to her gorgeous face. She looked pretty, elegant and rather "Madonna (not the singer kids!) with Waiting Child"-like.

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Angelina Jolie in Versace Atelier

The one and only Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace (custom/made-to-measure Haute Couture Versace).

My TV Guide "The Fashion Team" and "Award Show Fashion Wrap" partner-in-crime , stylist Jen Rade, told me when the Golden Globes were announced that for Angelina--whom she styles--she gets requests left and right to dress Angelina: Quel Suprise!--but she always LOVES the House of Versace because there's NEVER a question that it will be done and done right! Here Angelina wears a 1940s-inspired emerald green all-over-sequin gown with padded shoulders, bateau neckline with a scoop back and lightly blouson detail. STUNNING. Love it. Her hair and make-up look amazing as well.

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive Fall/Winter 2010

Sleeves, covered shoulders, all-over beading, and a 70's Disco Vibe. Note those. Why? FOUR DEFINITE Red Carpet Trends.

Here the beautiful Anne Hathaway hits ALL of them in one dress by Armani Prive Fall/Winter 2010. Armani Prive is the Haute Couture "arm" of Designer Girogio Armani in case you didn't know. In other words, if you wanted to actually order and purchase this made-to-measure sequined gown, it would run you about $100,000. I like the shape and the twisted-draped sleeves but I'm not sure if that blushed copper color works on Anne. Although it helped that she had a major plunging back to the very covered front. What do you think?

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Catherine Zeta-Jones in Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2011

Ball Gowns are another Trend for the 68th Annual Golden Globes (which I predicted thank you very much!). Here, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones chose a hunter green strapless ball gown from Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2011 Collection (yes, kids, we're in Pre-Fall now!). It features folding and architectural-inspired draping. She looks a tad bit "The Mask of Zorro", but I still think she looks glamorous and the definition of a Hollywood Actress.

68th Annual Golden Globes Fashion: Who Wore What? January Jones in Versace Spring 2011

The stunning January Jones--is always known to make big FASHION RED CARPET Statements and this was no exception. She wore lipstick red Versace Spring 2011. She saw the turquoise blue version on the Spring 2011 Versace Runway Show in Milan and asked them if they could make it in red--since she's never worn red...on the Red Carpet. Well, if you're January Jones and want a dress in red, Versace will deliver! I'm kinda loving it. It's very Madame Gres in a way.

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Piper Perabo in Oscar de la Renta Spring 2011

Actress Piper Perabo wears a black U-neck silk taffeta gown with shoulder bow detail from Oscar De La Renta Spring 2011. The shape is what I call "Mermaid Light"--since it's fitted-but-flared-from-the-knee shape it suggests the Mermaid silhouette but yet since there's no seam at the knee, it really isn't. Black seems to be a popular color (or non-color?) at this year's Golden Globes and this Oscar de la Renta on Piper is one of the best examples.
