It’s that time of the year! When stars descend to The Beverly Hilton to walk the red carpet decked in sparkling jewels and designer creations. The 73rd Golden Globe Awards honors the best in film and television and that one night a year where the women of Orange is the New Black rub elbows with the cast of Downton Abbey or Khaleesi could end up in a photo with Leo DiCaprio (hey, a girl can dream!) And this year, Ricky Gervais is back as the host so really, anything can happen but more of that later!
For now, let’s focus on the red carpet and there’s only three things you need to know: colors, sparkles and unkempt hair!
What better way to kick things off than with the night’s big winner and everyone’s best friend, Jennifer Lawrence who won for her film Joy by director you guessed it, David O. Russell who also happened to be her date for the gathering. We saw the conclusion of the mega blockbuster franchise of The Hunger Games but it seems like JLaw isn’t quite ready to give up the role yet as she showed up as the girl on fire in a fiery cutout creation by again, you guessed it Dior (duh).
From one Jennifer to another, Jennifer Lopez surprised everyone with a look that was so erm.. un-J.Lolike. The American Idol judge and presenter looked like a movie star in a color she described as “mustard, marigoldy yellow” designed by Giambattista Valli which was accessorised with Chopard jewels and a bold lip.
Aside from splashy colors, sequins also made quite the appearance at the bash with last year’s Best Actress Julianne Moore showing up in a sequined Tom Ford with Mr. Tom Ford himself accompanying her on the red carpet! The navy blue dress which featured an open-back and a cut-out neckline complimented her signature red locks and her alabaster skin.
Another actress who’s also feeling sparkly was golden girl (literally!) Brie Larson, star of Room, breakout artist of the year and Golden Globe winner tonight showed up in a custom Calvin Klein creation which showcased her toned tummy, svelte arms and just basically #bodygoals.
Also showing off her enviable figure was presenter Olivia Wilde who wore a custom Michael Kors creation, this would’ve been my favorite look of the night if it wasn’t for her matching eye make-up (oops) but the rest of the look works for me. She can be next seen in the upcoming Martin Scorsese HBO series.
For my favorite of the night, Cinderella and perennial English rose Lily James cascaded down the red carpet in a beautiful dress by Marchesa – now, some might say that it’s a bit bridal but I beg to differ because it reminded me more of a swan than of a bride plus her disheveled hair and the smokey eye make-up helped too!
Following in Lily’s lead are more stars wearing white and others who showed up in blush tones (another trend of the night).
Full disclosure, these were the looks that I liked but not a single one of it really blew me away I was expecting Cate Blanchett or Alicia Vikander to do that but to no avail and unfortunately it’s a no Emma Stone/no Marion Cotillard year too so… ANYWAY! They better bring it on the Screen Actors Guild!
