2011 GOLDEN GLOBE FASHION - THE LATEST ... & GREATEST?

THE GOLDEN GLOBE RED CARPET DELIVERED GORGEOUS GOWNS IN AN EXCITEMENT OF COLOR, BEAUTIFUL BEADING AND TERRIFIC TEXTURES.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE LADIES WHO HIT A HIGH NOTE!

1. CARRIE UNDERWOOD 

COUNTRY CUTIE, CARRIE UNDERWOOD WENT FOR GLAM AND GLITTER IN A STUNNING, STRAPLESS SWEETHEART SILHOUETTE BADGLEY MISCKA GOWN.  THIS RAY OF SUNSHINE FINISHED OFF HER LOOK WITH A SWAROVSKI BLUSH METALLIC CLUTCH, BRIAN ATWOOD SHOES AND JOHNATHON ARNDT ACCESSORIES.

2. OLIVIA WILDE

OLIVIA WILDE SHOWED UP AS A MODERN DAY PRINCESS IN A FROTHY CHOCOLATE BROWN MARCHESA SLEEVELESS BALL GOWN WITH GOLD SEQUINS THAT SPARKLED AND SHINED AS SHE GLIDED DOWS THE RED CARPET.  HER CHRISTIAN LOUBOUITINS AND SEXY STRAIGHT HAIR WERE PICTURE PERFECT.  EFFORTLESS ELEGANCE.

3.  HAILEE STEINFELD

FOR HER FIRST RED CARPET WALK, THIS 14 YEAR OLD TRUE GRIT STAR WAS TRUE GLAMOUR IN A WINTER WHITE - PRABAL GARUNG - DRESS, AMANDA PEARL CLUTCH, NUDE SATIN PEEP TOE PUMPS FROM FERRAGAMO AND CHIC TIFFANY AND COMPANY JEWELS.  THE LOOK WAS YOUNG, FRESH AND FABULOUS.

4.  PIPER PERABO

PIPER LOOKED LIKED RED CARPET ROYALTY IN THIS EXQUISITE, FORM FITTING ONE SHOULDER, BOW - ADORNED, BLACK OSCAR DE LA RENTA FISHTAIL GOWN.  HER HAIR WAS SLEEK AND ELEGANT AND THE PERFECT FINISH WAS HER RED STAINED LIP.  THE JEWELS WERE SIMPLE AND ELEGANT.

5.  ANNE HATHAWAY

SET TO HOST THE 2011 OSCARS AND PLAY SELINA KYLE IN THE NEXT BATMAN FLICK, THIS BEAUTY ONCE AGAIN SHOWED UP LOOKING EVERY BIT A MOVIE STAR IN A SEXY, FORM-FITTING AMBER TONED, ARMANI PRIVE GOWN - FULLY EMBELLISHED WITH PALETTES AND SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS.  HER BEST ACCESSORY WAS HER BACK - AND SHE CHOSE VINTAGE VAN CLEEF AND ARPEL JEWELS TO FINISH THE LOOK.

6.  JENNIFER LAWRENCE (THE ONE TO WATCH OUT FOR...)  

WINTER'S BONE, JENNIFER LAWRENCE IS DEFINITELY THE ONE TO WATCH OUT FOR ON THE RED CARPET THIS YEAR... AT 20 YEARS OLD, EVERYTHING SHE DID WAS RIGHT - IN CHOOSING THIS FLAMENCO INSPIRED -  RUFFLED AND CORSETED LOUIS VUITTON DRESS WITH CHOPARD EMERALD EARRINGS, ROGER VIVIER SHOES AND A JUDITH LEIBER BAG.  THE LOOK WAS FUN, FLIRTY, EDGY AND AGE APPROPRIATE.

OFF KEY STYLES:

1.  LEIGHTON MEESTER

THE COUNTRY STRONG STAR  TOTALLY HIT THE WRONG NOTE IN THIS NUDE - CREPON PRINT RUCHED CRESCENT DRESS - FROM THE PRE-FALL 2011 BURBERRY PRORSUM COLLECTION.  THE LOOK WAS TOO OLD AND WASHED OUT.  I THINK SHE LOOKED GOOD FROM THE NECK UP AND THE ANKLES DOWN.

2. HALLE BERRY

BEAUTIFUL? YES. BUT, HALLE BERRY WALKED THE RED IN A DISAPPOINTING BLACK CORSETED NINA RICCI MINI DRESS WITH A SHEER OVERLAY AND STACKED HARRY WINSTON BRACELETS.  HER BODY WAS ROCKING, BUT THE LOOK FELT DATED AND DONE.

3.  JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT

THE 31-YEAR-OLD ACTRESS WORE AN ICE BLUE  RAMONA KEVEZA DRESS WITH CASADEI SHOES. SHE ALSO ADDED A JENNIFER BEHR BELT, A SANG A CLUTCH, THREE LE VIAN RINGS AND BRACELET.  TOO, TOO MUCH, FROM THE HAIR, TO THE BELT TO THE BUILT IN FOOD CATCHER!!

4.  HELENA BONHAM CARTER

ONE TO NEVER DISAPPOINT, HELENA TWIRLED DOWN THE RED CARPET IN PLUNGING MULITI COLORED VIVIENNE WESTWOOD DRESS, MISMATCHED SHOES AND A BIRDS NEST FOR HAIR.  POINTS FOR STICKING TO HER STYLE, BUT ... REALLY?!

5.  JULIANNE MOORE

THE KIDS MIGHT BE ALRIGHT, BUT YOUR STYLIST ISN'T...  JULIANNE SHOWED UP IN THIS ONE SHOULDER, ILL-FITTED LANVIN CREATION THAT LOOKED LIKE A HOT PINK MESS.  JUST TOO MUCH.

BUT WAIT...
THERE'S MORE!
