Jewelry and Accessories: Big was definitely in last night - bringing back the saying "Go Big or Go Home"! Huge cuff bracelets and chunky bracelets were seen in waves last night from celebrities such as Ellen Pompeno with her three set diamond cuff bracelet, Angelina's double gold bracelet set, and Beyonce's horrid chucky gold bracelet that reminded me of a slap bracelet I could have purchased at the skating rink with my tokens! We saw chandelier earrings, beautiful tear drop earrings and my favorite sleek stud earrings as seen on Reese Witherspoon and Renee Zellweger. Jack Nicholson was in the house with his best accessory his signature sunglasses; however P Diddy (aka Puffy who knows what he goes by these days) was also sporting sunglasses as well. So here is who I believe had the most fashionable and best use of Accessories last night - Helen Mirren! She had the most beautiful blue topaz "Titanic looking" necklace supported by her tiny crystal drop earrings really brought the whole look together with her dark blue jersey gown with antique silver sequined tulle. Also Drew Barrymore traded in her Urban Outfitters jewelry for some major bling and we loved it! Honorable Mention: Jeremy Piven his best accessory - his Mom! Worst use of accessories last night: Hillary Swank and her hair accessory! I personally did not like it and I just thought it took away from her beautiful sleek spaghetti strap black dress that she was wearing with the striking bow-tie waist that gave her a nice curve to her otherwise stick figure.
Hairstyle and Makeup critiques are after the jump.
Hairstyles: We saw a lot of natural looking hairstyles last night! Some stars chose to wear their hair down while others choose lovely loose tie backs as well as some very classy up do's. Felicity Huffman shined with her beautiful long blonde hair flowing at her shoulders. Sheryl Crow with her gorgeous loose light brown curls draped her bare shoulders a lovely compliment to her purple taffeta dress! Evangeline Lilly we loved, loved, loved her brunette hair in loose wavy curls draped down her back - hated the dress! Adrian Grenier he cut his hair since the season finale of Entourage but we love his dark curly hair! Vanessa Williams retro 1970's through back hair very glam! A little scary at first but this blogger feels it was a well made choice with the jewelry and the dress! At first I hated Sienna Miller's hair but the more I looked at her dress the more I loved it - she was trying to go for the Grecian princess look and I think she pulled it off flawlessly! Best hair of the night goes to Eva Longoria what an excellent choice to wear her hair up totally showed off the jeweled bust line and straps of her gorgeous navy dress it totally complimented the ensemble. Honorable mentions Courteney Cox and Reese Witherspoon - we loved the straight hair and Reese's bangs were totally cute! Worst hair of the evening goes to Jennifer Love Hewitt her petite figure was overwhelmed by her big hair and voluminous gold ball gown.
Make up: I am not going to spend too much time in this category, we saw a ton of great looks last night from dramatic and bold to soft and subtle! Ali Larter looked stunning her make-up was flawless and not overdone she used the light pinks and creams to bring out her natural complexion with her cheeks and lips and her dazzling dark eyeliner brought out her blue eyes! Drew Barrymore looked radiant with her glowing tan and her sun kissed complexion! Worst of the evening: Cameron Diaz her dress was just awful but her dark hair and bright red lips she looked totally mismatched. Honorable Mention: Patricia Arquette besides her unflattering drab dress that did not compliment her figure at all her eye make up made her eyes look squinty, too much of the smoky affect is a bad thing.
Hopefully we will see changes by the time the Oscars roll around!
