Media Monday: Golden Globes Fashion Recap (The Hot Mess Edition)

January 15, 2012 Nik

The 2012 Golden Globes.  Well…ok.  I’ve been writing Thread Conscious for two years.  You know by now that I try to stay positive at all times.  But there comes a time when fashion is so bad, and so disappointing, that you find yourself picking the best of the worst, because there just wasn’t enough good to go around.  That time has come.  I was not wowed by the fashion of the Golden Globes this year.  I was sooo…underwhelmed.  It was a fashion fail.  Up first is the Best Dressed (relatively speaking) and then the Worst Dressed…plus some more mess.  All photos courtesy of  WireImage except where noted.  Happy Monday.

 ON TO THE BEST DRESSED

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci

Rooney Mara: Edgy cut-outs in black.  That seems to be Rooney’s M.O., so it’s expected.  At least the dress was interesting.

Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren:  Love the color on Helen, and the fact that there’s a different texture on the bottom.  Sophisticated with just the right amount of bling, at the waist, no doubt.  I really like this dress.

Paula Patton

Paula Patton: Paula looks gorgeous in this classic mermaid silhouette, in the happiest hue of yellow.  I don’t hate it.  #winning.

AND ON TO THE WORST DRESSED!

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace

Angelina Jolie: I don’t know.  No, I can’t.  It’s just wrong.  The fabric looks cheap, the slash of red at the neckline isn’t a pleasant surprise, it’s an eye sore.  For once, I paid more attention to what Brad Pitt was wearing.

Amanda Peet

 Amanda Peet: Unfortunately, I think I’ve seen something like this before.  And it was a very unflattering wedding dress.

Missi Pyle

 Missi Pyle: The color’s not bad, but that’s the only good thing about this frock.  This dress looks like it came straight from Windsor.  Actually, Windsor has better looking dresses than this.

AND MORE FASHION FAILS

Natalie Portman, Repeat Offender

 Natalie Portman: I love Natalie Portman.  She’s known for her intelligence as well as her talent.  But I don’t understand why she repeated last year’s Golden Globes red and pink fiasco this year.

AND IT GETS BETTER.  I MEAN WORSE.

Zooey and Emily Deschanel- Worst Dressed Duo, Double Fail

Zooey Deschanel and Emily Deschanel: People seem to like Zooey’s zany fashion sense and I have to admit I don’t completely hate her dress.  I’m just having trouble articulating what I don’t like about.  But Emily, Betty White called and she wants her dress back.

Ok, that’s enough.  The rest of the week will be more positive, I promise!

Fashionably Yours,

Nik

    My dear Eve, I do love you and I think your baby collection is divine! But Angelina’s look was just…off. I do acknowledge that white satin is difficult to wear, and if anyone can pull it off, it’s Angie. But the dress and clutch failed to wow me. Her hair and makeup were flawless though! As always, thanks for commenting!

    Oh, my darling Nik…we will have to agree to disagree again this year. I didn’t get to watch but 10 minutes of the program, but when Angelina Jolie appeared onstage in THAT dress…well, she simply took my breath away. It was classic Old Hollywood glamour and I was floored by how it complimented her pale, creamy skin and brunette updo. Her coordinating lips and toes matched the classic glamour feel as well. I consider the look the best of the evening!

    AND…Natalie Portman’s maternity gown last year was a fabulously feminine look. It was one of my favorites and even became an inspiration for some of my baby collection.

    Love you and enjoyed reading the blog post (while being decidedly unglamorous in my breastpump attire – ha!)
