2010 Golden Globes

Award season has definitely arrived. And with it, the red carpet fashion! I know there was some rain on last night's red carpet, but over here in Perth it is well over 40 degrees and even though I have my AC cranking, it's doing little to alleviate the heat. And so, I have decided to churn out the photos in no particular order:

Hate: Jennifer Morrison - Luis Antonio (There's such a thing as too many ruffles)


Undecided: Anna Paquin - Stella McCartney (I love the cut of the dress, apart from the front slit, but I'm not sure about so much sparkles)


Love: Anna Kendrick - Marchesa (Perhaps a tad too ruffled but that fabric is so pretty it doens't matter)


Love: Jennifer Aniston - Valentino couture (I hate to say this, but she looks fantastic, albeit too much of the same old; it would be nice if she tried a different look once in a while.)


Hate: Amy Adams - Carolina Herrera (Could there be a more unflattering dress?)


Love - Zoe Saldana - Luis Vuitton (Love the deep burgundy on her and the detail on the bodice is to die for!)


Love: Calista Flockhart - Alberta Ferretti (Gorgeously delicate and ethereal)


Undecided: Christina Aguilera - Versace (Surprisingly ladylike in a gorgeous colour, though I'm a little unsure about the futuristic silver corset. Plus the absence or a strong red lip makes for a lovely change.)


Love: Diane Kruger - Christian Lacroix (Okay, so this is a bit Barbie but one has to admit that this dress has absolutely exquisite detailing)


Love: Jayma Mays - Badgley Mischka (The black and white bodice reminds me slightly of that iconic vintage Valentino dress worn by Julia Roberts at the 73rd Academy Awards, but the spiderweb skirt gives it a modern edge)


Love: Dianna Agron - Badgley Mischka (2 words - utter perfection! One of my favourites for the nite)


Undecided: Kate Hudson - Marchesa (I think this is cute, but definitely with different shoes)


Love: Emily Blunt - Dolce & Gabbana (Another perfect dress, my other favourite from tonight)


Hate: Chloe Sevigny - Valentino (Remember what I said about too many ruffles? This isn't as bad, but I still am not loving it.)


Undecided: Jennifer Garner - Atelier Versace (I just don't know about this colour on her, otherwise it's a lovely dress.)


Undecided: Marion Cotillard - Christian Dior (I love the colour and the bodice of this dress but I just can't get past that lace insert. I feel they should just have left it alone.)


Love: Cameron Diaz - Alexander McQueen (Gorgeous colour and cut - fits beautifully, but perhaps different shoes?)


Hate: Christina Hendricks - Christian Siriano (You know, overly beruffled seems to be a bit of a culprit tonight. Ordinarily, I think this dress might be okay, but the lovely Christina is no stick insect and we all know that ruffles serve to add texture and depth, none of which flatter Christina's voluptuousness.)


Undecided: Fergie - Dolce & Gabbana (I like the dress' pretty colour and simplicity but somehow this feels a little bit prom and/or bridesmaid's dress to me)


Love: Kristen Bell - Jasmine di Milo (Yes, it's a cliche but this dress certainly is short and sweet; love the twisted ruched effect.)


Undecided: Drew Barrymore - Atelier Versace (While I love the colour and the scultural detail on the shoulder, I feel that same detail looks very odd at the hip.)


Love: Sandra Bullock - Bottega Venetta (The semi-sheer skirt adds a bit of fun and the deep royal purple colour is simply gorgeous. It makes an otherwise simple design pop.)


Undecided: Olivia Wilde - Gucci (I really don't know about this one. I love how it fits on her but the fabric just seems a little too Vegas for me.)


Love: Ginnifer Goodwin - Vionnet (Gorgeous cut, gorgeous colour, gorgeous dress!)


Love: Maggie Gyllenhaal - RM by Roland Mouret (Maggie usually dons very offbeat looks but the peachey-salmon / salmony-peach dress with sculptural details is divine! The colour looks great on her and that fit is utter perfection.)


Love: Lea Michelle - Oscar de la Renta (Drama personified! The very quintessential Oscar de la Renta dress.)


Love: Carey Mulligan - Nina Ricci (Cute girl, cute dress. The lace detailing is pretty without being saccharine sweet.)


Love: Rose Byrne - Lanvin (Another gorgeous purple gown, a much deeper hue and more more structured but no less beautiful.)


Love: Heather Graham - Elie Saab (Black, sparkly and gorgeous)
