I confess: I did not watch all of the Golden Globes last night. I went to see an actual movie. (Yes. I left my house. I did. It happens. Occasionally.) Anyway. By the time I got home, the ceremony was well under way. So. I spent some time today surfing and surely, surely, I saw most of the dresses. And it seemed like most of them were flesh-toned. And I like nude. I do. But there was just too much of it.
My favorite, dress, without a doubt: Catherine Zeta-Jones' Monique L'Huillier. Wow. The color is exquisite. The design is elegant. Total 1950s glamour. I would so wear this. Absolutely. This is the gown I would bring home, swathed tenderly in glossy box and layer upon layer of tissue paper.
And my second favorite gown of the evening: the sleek Calvin Klein Collection column worn by Claire Danes. Love the color. Love the style. Love, love, love! Love. It is sexy. It is regal. Not your usual combination, I know. I do. But this number deserves both adjectives, in this blogger's humble O. Yes indeedy. And it looks comfortable, too.
The glittery Marchesa that Olivia Wilde (or her stylist) picked out won my heart, too. 
Again, 1950s glamour. Love the girly silhouette. The sparkles. However. The hair. Yikes. This gown deserves something better than beach-girl bangs. Perhaps an elegant French twist. Definitely an updo. Something sophisticated yet simple.
On the other hand, what was Sandra Bullock thinking? What? I am a fan. I am. Really. Admire her acting. Love her style. She's usually perfection on the red carpet. Usually. Not so last night. No. No way. That dowdy dress. (Designed, if you care, by Jenny Packham.) Those bangs. Oh. My. Oh my oh my oh my oh my. My theory: She had plastic surgery and cut those bangs 
to distract the persnickety critics among us. That — or she was having a total mutton-dressed-as-lamb moment. Mmmmm. What do you think? Am I being too mean? I'm not, am I? Of course not. Never. On the other hand, did I mention that her hair looks stringy? Did you notice? Sandra, come on, girl. You're a style icon. Get with the program. Don't let us down.
So. Who were your favorites? Which dress would you pick for your moment at the podium? Which?

Since she is a new mom, she might have cut her bangs becuase it was easier. As for her dress, she was probably just happy it didn’t have baby barf on it! ;-p

I didn’t find time to watch, usually don’t, I enjoy others comments. One thing I did notice was more stringy hair than usual. Come on chickies, your putting on the fancy duds, strutting around, lets loose the mall hair look. I agree, Denise, Catherine and Claire chose dresses appropriate for their body styles and coloring. Sandra, unfortunately, looks a bit washed out, style-wise, color-wise and definitely hair-wise. Oh well, just wait for the Oscars, we can do this again. Now, I have to hang up my red carpet gown, and go stitch up some vintage style aprons because I am a sloppy cook! Love your special take on these things, I do, I really do!

My only issue with the pink dress that Claire Danes wore is the hem line. How do you walk daintily with a pool of fabric in front of your toes? I think I’d need to see her walk in that to believe she didn’t have to kick it up to avoid falling on her arse.
I absolutely agree about the hair comments too. Sandra Bullock looks like she was hiding behind her hair.

And why can’t the men shave?!

Celkalee, thank you. I so love a compliment. I do.
Cathy, His Bertness and I were discussing the impractically of her hem last night. Love the dress, though. And her eyelashes — it’s enough to make a woman consider Latisse!
HB and I discussed that, too. It’s a most unfortunate trend and gives style-lazy hubbies an excuse they don’t need!

Oops. Impracticality.

I didn’t even recognize Sandra Bullock. The blown up lips, Cleopatra eyes, frumpy dress, awful hair, oy,,,,,,,
My favorite was the Marchesa. I agree. It deserved a better do.
