Ms. Paula Patton is stunning and rocking all the hot fashion trends at the Golden Globes!
This is a shout out to all the fashion designers who create clothing, jewelry and accessories. It’s the day after the 2012 Golden Globe Awards and a fabulous opportunity to give your opinion about one of the most important fashion shows of the season-Hollywood style. If you haven’t already set this marketing tactic in motion it is time to travel to cyber space and tweet, blog, email and discuss who wore what and your likes and dislikes and the trends of the nite. This is also a good time for hair stylists, make up artists and other stylists to get your voice out there too because your digital voice is the best way to communicate and marketing is all about communication.
Blatant fashion trends abound this year at Sunday’s Hollywood Foreign Press Association awards ceremony. Lots of jewel toned gowns with colors like garnet, ruby, teal, amethyst, and citrine (which i adore) plus the “no color” color that was a big thing too but which I didn’t really care for. The fishtail silhouette was all over the place paired with a skin-tight strapless bodice. This definitely was the silhouette of the evening. Too many, if not just about everyone on the best dressed lists had on some version of this dress with a different color and a different texture. Lace here, beading there and a few feathers here and there. Fancy hair like the finger waves on the young lady from Modern Family in the pretty purple age appropriate tea length dress and lots of chignons/updos was a sure nod to old Hollywood glam and bold jewelry-a lot of cuffs and bracelets which I adore! were two accessory trends on the red carpet. Some made sure the backless look was on full view too. Classic tuxedos are a standard for the men but unfortunately a few were sloppily accessorized. Sneakers-no please. Last but not least, so disappointing-Reese Witherspoon had on a really fabulous ruby-red dress but I did not like the hair. Too big and too CMA.
Forget Gervais. Yawn. The show was boring after so much hype about him the second time around. I, thankfully, was too tired to care after spending the day at the fancy food show with entrepreneur Laura Forst of Laura’s Nuts where we happily sampled way too much food. I just put my feet up and watched the red carpet shows with a cup of tea followed by a glass of pinot noir.
One predominant focus was old school Hollywood with Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Spielberg and Scorsese. The most classy acceptance speech was from Morgan Freeman awarded by Helen Mirren and Sidney Poitier (I was worried when I saw him because this legend looked a little frail didn’t he).
Ok, that’s my dish. List your top 5 best dressed and your worst dressed. Here are mine.
BEST DRESSED
Idris Elba is so handsome! So Fine! Whatever he wears is OK with me.
Paula Patton was Stunning with a capital S! That yellow was such a vibrant, fabulous color on her. She is not playing it safe and that is a good thing. Sophia Vergara was in a great fitting dress and a standout color. This particular blue was seen in various shades. And she was rocking the mermaid look. Rooney Mara was perfectly edgy in a little black dress with strategic cut outs. Black was the other color trend. Julianna Margulies is always very classy and I love the color of her jade earrings paired with her purple dress.
WORST DRESSED
Natalie Portman in a satiny pepto bismal pink prom dress with a huge bow on the side. She is too tiny for all of this and must get back on track. Sarah Michelle Geller should have understood the silhouette did not fit the tie died look. So wrong. Maybe a tank dress shape. I liked her ponytail though. Elle McPherson looks great but I do not understand the raves this dress is getting. It reminds me of a saloon gal’s dress with all that crinoline. Kelly Osborne Wow! Although she was on point color wise the shape had a space cadet and matronly vibe. And I could not understand the strange color of her hair. Maybe it was my TV-it is old. Depp Didn’t like what Johnny was wearing but he was his usual self.
Cheers, Gwendolyn
