While I like to spend most of my blogging focused on what I like to call 'financially friendly fashion' it doesn't hurt every now and then to glimpse into the fabulous lives of the A-list elite bite back a jealous sigh, or sometimes a laugh. The Golden Globes provides a (pun completely intended) golden opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat, also know as the red carpet. This years Golden Globes had its fair share of highs and lows in the fashion department, the best dressed of the evening would have had to been Kate Hudson. Hudson's Marchesa gown held of a bride with it's ivory color and strapless cut with plumes along the neckline, yet there was an undeniable edge to the structure of the dress which was fitted at top with a flared skirt. Everything about her ensemble oozed elegance and fineness, down to carefully selected accessories which included Stephen Russell tassel earrings, and a Stephen Russell geometric diamond bracelet. La pièce de résistance however was Hudson's footwear; triple platform pumps, Casadei's signature shoe. Hudson took quite a risk with this little number but boy did it pay off, the outfit made quite a statement and ushered in the platform shoe and ruffle trends forecasted for 2010.
Coming up second on my list is Drew Barrymore, who strutted her stuff in an Atelier Versace nude gown. Barry
more went on to win an award for her role in Grey Gardens. What drew me to the dress at first glance were the glass fringe bead embellishments placed on her hip and shoulder which highlight the swarvoski crystals which are all over the dress. It's asymmetrical cut is de mode right now, and hides the bustier underneath layers of chiffon. With Lorriane Schwartz diamond stud earrings, a Roger Viver and Jimmy Choo sandels to top off the gown Barrymore took great risks, and I do not care what anyone says, this dress was not only a fashionable statement but a moving work of art, and I applaud Barrymore for pulling it off.
Another outfit of note was the stylish Christian Dior gown the lovely Marion Cotillard sported that evening. Staying true to the Christian Dior label, seeing as she is the new face of the Lady Dior bag. Nominated for best actress, Cotillard's bottle green satin gown caught my attention instantly, sexy and sleek it's asymmetrical cut, paired with a corset fit about the waist and flowing train was breathtaking. The key feature of this dress is the carefully cut slit running from Cotillard's waist to the floor revealing a black lace slip. Not only does this dress exude classic red carpet class but the slit and lingerie touch defiantly up the anti and make it a new decade dress. Finally the accessories opting a hair piece for earring Cotillards bun had its own bling with 12-carat platinum and diamond Chopard hair clips, not to mention the latinum and trillion cut diamond Chopard bracelets and Roger Vivier satin clutch. Finally last but not least noir gladiator Jimmy Choo sandals.
kates dress was my favorite too!
