The nominees, presenters, and dates at the Golden Globes never fail to amaze and astound us -- with their fashion, that is.  Of course, the primary reason I watch award shows is to see who wins, but let's be honest: don't we all love to clamor over the deliciously bad and good fashions that present themselves on the red carpet?  I know I'm not the only one who feels no shame in watching Red Carpet Specials merely to see what everyone is wearing.   


Best Dressed

Natalie Portman in Viktor & Rolf

The winner for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) is positively glowing -- and not merely because she won her first Golden Globe and is won step closer to Oscar.  The newly-engaged Black Swan star concealed her burgeoning baby bump in a beautiful Vikor & Rolf strapless pale pink dress.  Some have complained about the seemingly random placement of the red rose, but I think it makes the dress a lot less boring, though it would've looked anything but boring on Portman regardless.  

Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive

The nominee for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Comedy) is the epitome of Hollywood glamor; I don't always love long-sleeved dresses, but this shimmering Armani Prive looks gorgeous on the Love & Other drugs star.  As far as she has come from her Princess Diaries days, it seems she has retained some of that princess sophistication. 

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta

The nominee for Best TV Comedy Actress doesn't shy away from the bold yet fun looks that made skyrocketed her to the top of Best Dressed lists in 2010.  On anyone else, this pink one-shoulder Oscar de la Renta dress wouldn't been too much, but it looks fantastic on the Glee star's figure.  She may have lost to the absent Laura Linney, but between her flawless Red Carpet looks and Glee's Best TV Comedy win, she has much to smile about. 

Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

The nominee for Best Supporting Actress (Movie) has been working her way up to the Best Dressed lists, with her glamorous yet unique looks.  The Black Swan star has come a long way since her That 70's Show days, and thankfully she has gained some much-needed weight since she trimmed down to a scary-skinny 95 pounds for the film.  This dress combines two of the night's most popular trends, one-shoulder and green, without being ostentatious. 

Jennifer Lawrence in Louis Vuitton

I'm surprised that few have talked about the dress worn by the nominee for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) -- the talented newcomer's Louis Vuitton corset dress is a welcome departure from the bold colors that dominated the evening.  I have the feeling that, as was the case with Carey Mulligan last year, Lawrence will surprise use with unique looks. 



















Worst Dressed

Heidi Klum in Marc Jacobs

Can someone tell me why the Project Runway host was at the Golden Globes?  She wasn't a nominee, presenter, or a date.  Regardless, the frequent Worst Dressed list beauty once again finds herself here, in a look that screams for attention: the dress itself is too busy and so far removed from the above Best Dressed looks that it alone seems like a Project Runway disaster.  And, Heidi, did your kids do your make-up?  Maybe they did your styling too. 

Christina Aguilera in Zuhair Murad

What happened to the trim, toned physique that the Best Original Song nominee sported in her feature film debut?  Either she has has gained a considerable amount of weight or she is pregnant again.  I hate to say this, but Christina's body is not right for this mermaid-shaped Zuhair Murad dress: yes, she has the right hourglass shape, but at her current weight the dress accentuates her curves in all the wrong ways. 

Helena Bonham Carter in Vivienne Westwood

I wish that the nominee for Best Supporting Actress (Movie) had taken after her perfectly proper Queen Mum, as opposed to the crazy Bellatrix Lestrange, who seems present in this nutty Vivienne Westwood concoction.  Of course, we wouldn't expect anything less from an actress whose style is as varied as her roles, but, seriously, mismatched shoes?? 

January Jones in Versace

The presenter looks stunning in everything, and if only her fashion choices were as gorgeous and wise as those of her Mad Men character, Betty Draper.  But, alas, the blonde beauty makes another daringly bad decision with this Versace dress that inappropriately showcases her, um, assets.  If there's anyone who could pull off a look like this, it would be her, but when she was having second thoughts about wearing it she should have gone with her instinct. 

Julianne Moore in Lanvin

The nominee for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Comedy) wears a dress that combines two of the night's most popular trends, pink and one-shoulder, with disastrous results.  The kids may be all right, but this look most certainly is not.  What happened to the rest of her dress?  It's as if the designer suddenly stopped and never finished it.  Additionally, the hot pink color doesn't seem appropriate for Moore's pale skin; she should have opted for a more subdued pink, a la Emma Stone.
