Backseat Styling: Globes Edition

The following red carpet moments represent the best and worst of the Golden Globes red carpet parade. Those who do not appear in this list were…safe. Barf.

The Winners

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace

Her Versace habit shows no sign of letting up, and that’s ok. But worth celebrating is the fact that Angelina Jolie finally found color! And if this particular color were any more perfect, she and Brad would be pursuing Leprechaun adoption.

The sleeves. The slightly done hair. The slightly retro makeup. She is the cast member of ‘Dynasty’ that got cut for being too demure. Perfect!

Julianne Moore in Lanvin

Oh, how I love this woman. Just because she isn’t doing lines in roller skates these days doesn’t mean that she must surrender to jewel tone Tadashi. With this glorious pinkish-reddish (depending on whether you saw it on TV or in print) concoction, she does Mr. Albaz proud. Again. 

As I’ve said before, Lanvin is not for everyone. It requires a certain degree of skill. [Got that, Taylor Swift?] Julianne Moore shows time and time again that she is qualified to operate the machinery. She looks cool, chic and elegant at THE.SAME.TIME.

Colin Firth’s Wife in Colin Firth’s Magical Glow

Yeah, Colin Firth’s Wife! We haven’t met, but you have confirmed that your husband picks his life partners as thoughtfully as his scripts.

All joking aside, some careful Google research has revealed that Livia Firth is a fox.*

She is an outspoken sustainable fashion advocate and this dress, by TENNESSEE label Prophetik was made of “peace silk” which is a process by which silk worms are unharmed. 

Eco responsibility aside, she looks perfect. The draping and color of this dress are flawless. Her accessory - simple yet playful - elevates to another level. Her bag is nice too.

* Don’t believe me? Ask Hilary Alexander. We all know that bish doesn’t play.

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein

Sometimes [and by sometimes I mean all the time] fashion is the bait by which I register celebs’ existence. For better or worse. If Britney Spears had a stylist and behaved herself, I wouldn’t look twice. But as long as the Wet Seal is flowin, I.am.so.there.

Such is the case with Emma Stone. She was not on my radar until her big “coming out” at the Globes.

I would like to salute her PR people here, because they knew what they were doing. And as profile-raising campaigns go, this was some MacGyver shiz. All bases covered.

Sister worked her way to this moment. And when the moment finally came, the worked it.

Blonde. Tan. Skinny. And not a Swarovski crystal in sight. Calvin Klein? EXPERT LEVEL.

The look says “Don’t F with me. I am the thinking man’s Cameron Diaz.”

Tilda Swinton in Jil Sander

Love you, boo.

No further explanation needed.

The Losers… can best be expressed in a montage of fail.
