Another red carpet round up, so soon! We must be in awards season now.
Last night was the Golden Globes, and I was glad to see a little bit more colour on the red carpet than at the People's Choice Awards. Yet again, my best dressed list is a little different to some of the others out there, which brings home that maybe I'm looking at things a little differently, especially where colour is concerned. A good example of this is Kate Winslet, yes her monochrome Jenny Packham dress last night was beautiful, but such harsh, contrasting colours really do nothing for her. All you see is the dress, rather than Kate herself. As a Soft, she is far better in softer, more muted colours that let her shine through! However, the cut of the dress was gorgeous, so she doesn't make it onto my 'didn't work' list!
Agree? Disagree? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!
Working It
 |
| Dianna Agron in Giles Deacon. The Glee star pulls off this directional, laser cut dress with aplomb. I always love red on a blonde, but wearing a dress this exciting it would be all too easy to disappear behind it. However Dianna is styled to perfection with simple hair, red lips and minimal jewellery. |
 |
| Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. Just gorgeous! This frock is sculpted around Sofia's lovely curves, and the deepest midnight blue is fantastic with her deep colouring. |
 |
| Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann. Wow. You can always count on Tilda to wear something different, and this jacket and mermaid skirt combo is no exception. The icy blue is wonderful with her cool blonde colouring, and her lean, straight lined figure carries off the sculptural jacket perfectly. |
Didn't Work
 |
| Piper Perabo in Theyksens' Theory. Oh dear, unfortunately the proportions of this massive gown on such a petite lady are all wrong, making it look like poor Piper is drowning in this dress. |
 |
| Frida Pinto in Prada. Something about this dress is just off on beautiful Frida. I suspect that it's a combination of the waist being in the wrong place (looks a little high to me) combined with it being too stiff over her curves - the skirt seems to be sticking out at strange angles. |
 |
| Julianna Marguilies and Amy Pohler in Naeem Khan. You get a 241 here, both ladies are wearing fabulous colours, but unfortunately the straight cut of the dress is all wrong for them, with the high neckline giving them a matronly look, and the fabric fitting their curves in all the wrong places. |
The only one I disagree with is the first red dress, I think it's too overpowering for her. All you see is dress, with a little head stuck on top.
