The Golden Globes Roundup, Part II: The Dresses

We’ve talked about the talent, now it’s time to talk about the fashion.  Hollywood’s elite (and the people who wish they were) showed up trying to impress.  With all the glitz and glamour, it can be hard to choose the Oh-Yes and Oh-God-No-Please-Make-It-Stop looks.  But, never fear, dear reader, we’ve got you covered.

THE GOOD

Lucy Liu

• This is either a dress that you love or hate.  Personally, we find it to be striking and different.  In a sea of red, black, and nudes, she at least took a risk.  Plus, it’s Lucy Liu.  We’re afraid she could break us with her pinky finger.

Amy Poehler

• Yes, we know, this is not a dress.  But you can’t deny the woman looks fantastic.  So, four for you Amy Poehler, you go Amy Poehler (because life is better with a Mean Girls reference).

Taylor Swift

• T-Swift, you should never ever ever get back together with the princess dresses you’re used to wearing.  Rock that eggplant gown, girl!

THE BAD

Jessica Chastain

• This is a case of “Love the color, hate the cut.”  Sorry, Jessica, we love you.  We really do.  But you can do so much better.  Also, her hair looks like she was in the middle of putting it up in a ponytail but changed her mind.

Jennifer Lopez

• We get it, JLo.  You have a rockin’ body and want to show it off.  What we don’t get is why you’re at the Golden Globes. 

Kerry Washington

• She comes from Downton Abbey's skanky sister citadel.  The Dowager Countess would not approve.

Rachel Weisz

• This is the kind of dress that happens when a designer can’t choose.  Should the dress be short?  Should the dress be sheer?  Wait!  I know!  Let’s make it both.  Wrong.  You should have chosen option C.  None of the above.

THE UGLY

Sienna Miller

• Of all the British designers, in all the British fashion, in all the world, she picks this dress.  Here’s to not looking at you, Sienna.

Eva Longoria

• **Insert obligatory Angelina Jolie comparison/joke here**

Halle Berry

• And so Cinderella sewed together the rags, and pretended she was going to the ball.  Sorry, Halle, but we’re rolling the clocks ahead.  It’s midnight, honey.  Time to take that dress home.

We hope you enjoyed our rundown of the Golden Globes fashion!  Stayed tuned for Part III!
