Hello awards season. It's nice to be able to celebrate the cream of the crop in Tinseltown. All those compelling films and nominations are great, but what I'm really interested in is fashion. Bring on the red carpet! Who's wearing what. Tell me about that necklace. I can't believe she picked that dress. These are just a few of the words that came out of my mouth yesterday as I was watching the Golden Globe Awards. Let me just say, I was throughly entertained by all the fashion hits and misses. What really caught my attention... the color of power and passion. The ladies in red won my heart and knocked them dead.
Amy Adams, Lupita Nyong'o, and Emma Watson are my top picks for best dressed. They all hit the nail on the head in very different ways. Let's start with Amy Adams. If you saw her in American Hustle, then you know she was oozing with sex appeal. She definitely channeled that in this two-toned Valentino gown looking like a slice of red velvet cake. Mmm mmm. You didn't see this during the pre-show, but Amy also had a red cape to go with the dress. But I'm sure once she saw showstopper Lupita in a caped dress, Amy probably decided to leave it off for photo opps. You can't compete with Lupita in all her scarlet glory.
Her dress had me at hello. That Ralph Lauren number is something else. The 12 Years a Slave actress looks like a superhero and I'm crazy about it. Let's get a better look at the face. Can we say flawless! You can't fake a glow like that. The hint of blue around her eyes is like icing on the cake. And for all the girls with short and sassy cuts, how can you not be inspired by her hair. It's sleek and polished but still funky. Even guys are sweating her side part right now. Lupita knows how to work her beauty.
Here's a closer glimpse at why I'm loving Emma's look. The color, the spunk, that back. She went for a Christian Dior pants look that I'm still dying over the next day. Emma is young and not afraid of taking risks, and this outfit really works for her. She keeps her makeup and hair simple but gorgeous, and allows the outfit to make a statement. Some of you might argue that the choice is all wrong, but Emma's having fun. Would you rather her dress like a 50 year old? Exactly.
The Golden Golden Globes are just the beginning. For the next month or so, we're going to be flooded with even more awards shows and red carpets. Some of my best dressed ladies could tank later. You never know. But I'm sure Princess Lupita will be shutting it down. That girl's a star! Can't wait to see what all of these ladies do for the Oscars.
