“This
is always the most fun night of the year," said Stacy Keibler, girlfriend of George Clooney.
So let’s dive right in. Here are the fashion hits
and misses of the most amusing night in Hollywood.
The Hits:

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture. Theron looked stunning in
this pale pink masterpiece by the French fashion house. From her
jewel-encrusted Cartier headband to
her strappy Givenchy heels, this
elegant look was a far cry from Mavis Gary’s outlandish style in her
Globe-nominated performance in “Young Adult”.

Keibler in Valentino. George
Clooney’s better half sizzled on the red carpet in this form-fitting red
number. The back of the dress was just as gorgeous as the front, with an
unexpected bow adding even more glamour to an already lovely look. Keibler’s
gorgeous ensemble reminds the world that you don’t have to be a nominee to win
the approval of fashion critics.

Elle
Macpherson in Zac Posen. The Australian beauty resembled a real-life Barbie in this
flesh-tone creation by the American designer. The tight bodice, exploding into
a sea of tulle ruffles, complemented Macpherson’s physique perfectly and
reminded us of why she’s still nicknamed “The Body”.
The Misses:

Mary
J. Blige in Michael Kors. Blige’s
dress was definitely a red carpet worst. While the color matched the pale pinks
and blushes worn by others, the overall ensemble came off as cheap. The
stretchy bodice did not flatter the singer’s figure and the feathers at the
bottom seemed both out of place and a bit dirty.

Michelle
Williams in Jason Wu. Williams’ did
not impress at the awards show with this dowdy, patterned frock. The color and
cut aged the “My Week With Marilyn” actress and it would have been great to see
her in something more youthful and bright.

Jessica
Biel in Elie Saab. Speaking of dowdy
dresses, Biel’s gown reigned supreme as the drabbest of them all on the carpet.
It seems that she’s taking her newly engaged status a little too literally in this wedding dress
look-a-like. Her messy tresses add more mess to this already chaotic ensemble and
it’s eerily reminiscent of Sandra Bullock’s wedding dress in “The Proposal”. If
only this was a joke…
Overall,
it was a good night for fashion at the Globes. While some stars clearly missed
the mark, the majority of attendees were right on target—a promising sign for
the awards shows to come!
