First off, let me say, I ♥ Heidi Klum. Heidi's dress was fun and different. Loved it.
WHITE DRESSES
There was gobs and gobs of white, off white and neutral dresses on the red carpet this year! What I posted above is just a sampling, there was so much more white on the red carpet, it was interesting. The winner in the white category would have to go to Kate Beckinsale for me (2nd from left). The white dress I liked least? Probably Sandra Bullock's. The bottom of it is giving me an antebellum, "Gone With The Wind" type vibe that I'm really not feeling. (l to r: Elizabeth Banks in J. Mendel, Kate Beckinsale in J. Mendel, Sandra Bullock in Dior, Eva Mendes in Dior, Penelope Cruz in Georgio Armani Prive, Beyonce in Elie Saab)
JEWEL TONED DRESSES
A few celebs opted to go with bright jewel toned color which always pops on the red carpet. My winner in the jewel toned bright color category would have to be Mary Louise Parker's bright blue gown (2nd from left) and the dress I liked least here would be Freida Pinto's gold gown. (l to r: Freida Pinto, Mary Louise Parker in Carlos Miele, Christina Applegate in Roberto Cavalli, Anne Hathaway in Georgio Armani Prive, and Laura Linney)
BLACK DRESSES
It's pretty hard to mess up black formal wear, but trust, it can be done (see Renee Zellwegger below..) I think Taraji P. Henson looked really pretty on the carpet, the pics don't really do her justice here, but my favorite black look out of the ones above would have to be Sally Hawkins (far right) I really liked the way that dress flowed. And actress Lisa Edelstein (2nd from left) gets my honorable mention. I love the bow detail on her dress. My least favorite here was Tina Fey's dress, and I ♥ Tina Fey, but I did not ♥ her dress tonight. (l to r: Taraji P. Henson in J. Mendel, Lisa Edelstein, Kate Winslet in Yves St. Laurent, Tina Fey, and Sally Hawkins)
J. MENDEL DESIGNER DRESSES
Designer J. Mendel had dresses out in full force on the 2009 Golden Globes red carpet. The four J. Mendel dresses above are the ones I was able to catch.
RED DRESSES
Yes, a few celebs did dare to wear red on the red carpet. Sometimes it can work (Sally Field's dress works to me because of the shorter length) and sometimes the red carpet can drown out your red dress, which is what's happening in Eva Longoria Parker's case. Eva's Reem Acra dress was beautiful and it fit her perfectly but it get's lost in the pictures because it's almost the exact same shade as the carpet. Kyra Sedgewick's Oscar de la Renta dress (center) comes off a little better because it's darker.
THE LAST TWO DRESSES OF MY RED CARPET CRITIQUE...
I thought Viola Davis' dress was different, it had a unique kind of webbed design that gave it a bit of an edge. And the fit was great on her. Renee Zellwegger's Carolina Herrera dress on the other hand should not have made it off the hanger IMO. Whoever told Renee that this weird sheer bodiced, victorian skirted gown was red carpet ready was doing some major lie-telling to her, and that was so not cool.
