A look at Golden Globes fashion
The Golden Globes were last night, and, as usual, the only thing worth talking about is the fashion, and Robert Downey Jr’s speech, because he’s RDJ, and he can do no wrong.
Here are a bunch of photos from the red carpet, as well as some commentary. It was raining in Los Angeles last night, so credit to those who braved the weather, which turned the Golden Globes into a Golden Shower (*snicker*).
First up, the dresses in muted colors. These are never my favorite.
Christina Hendricks’ golden globes would look better draped in something else. Like some Don Draper-ing maybe. Hey now! (Last bad joke, I promise.)
Christina Aguilera looks shockingly natural and classy (for her).
Drew Barrymore, being even more Drew Barrymore-y than usual, only in a boring gown.
See this look here on Emily Blunt’s face? This is why I don’t understand, Jim Halpert.
Maggie Gyllenhaal always looks like she has a Fashion Design 101 class make her dress, this time out of papier maché.
Oh, Pam. How do you manage to look dowdy in a strapless dress?
Harrison Ford looks like a guy who eats a lot of steak. Clearly he just likes to have a toothpick around whenever he needs one.
Anna Kendrick, that dress is way too old for you. More “Twilight,” less “Up in the Air,” please.
Chloe Sevigny actually looks … still like Chloe Sevigny.
Not many people can pull off the drama of pure white, so props to Kate Hudson for trying (Stripper shoes, Kate? Really?).
As usual, there were tons of black dresses on the red carpet. It’s a safe color, hard to mess up.
… Unless you’re Halle Berry and you’re feeling saucy.
I love Julia Roberts. She always looks like she doesn’t really care what she looks like, but manages to look amazing anyway.
January Jones looks cold. Not Betty Draper cold, just kind of chilly.
Penelope Cruz always looks the same: glamorous, beautiful, safe.
Courtney Cox looks good. So does Jennifer Aniston (photo via Jezebel). Again, it’s tough to ruin a black dress.
… Unless you’re the designer who decided Julianne Moore doesn’t need full use of her arms.
Even Mariah Carey’s boobs can’t ruin this gown, as hard as they’re trying.
We get it, Tina Fey. You’re cute, quirky. And apparently only four feet tall.
And finally, here are the brave souls who went with color. These dresses are always most interesting to me.
Purple was a popular choice, and I think Sandra Bullock rocked it the best.
Jane Krakowsi is doing that slouchy model pose. Has that ever looked good?
Fergie.
I like the color of Leona Lewis’s dress, but hate the fabric.
Heidi Klum just had a baby, still looks amazing. And yet, I can’t hate her.
Green also was a popular choice. I feel like I’ve seen Sigourney Weaver in it before, though.
Jane Lynch rocks my favorite accessory on a dress: pockets.
I can’t say this is my favorite shade of green, Gabourey Sidibe. Do better at the Oscars.
The bright blue, the pixie hair — Ginnifer Goodwin is almost too precious.
Carey Mulligan, I have no idea who you are, but your midnight blue dress is my favorite of the bunch. Also, you look like Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Marion Cotillard, I’d tell you your slip is showing, but you’re French, so I’m sure that’s the idea.
Amy Poehler and Gob Bluth — one of the best couples in Hollywood. Good dress, too. (photo via Jezebel)
Cameron Diaz always looks great. Always. (Kinda hate those shoes, though.)
Mo’Nique doesn’t shave her legs, thinks it’s hilarious.
And finally, the worst dress of the night: Diane Kruger’s couture bridesmaid dress. How bad is it? Diane’s face says it all.

Heather, you’re so kind! I gasped when Christina Aguilera walked out on stage. The color of her dress was so flesh-like I thought half her bodice was having a wardrobe malfunction.
Drew Barrymore looked like she was wearing sparkly pine cones on her shoulder and hip.
And you didn’t mention who I thought was the best dressed of the night: Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray from Glee) is this gorgeous dress: http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/01/17/jayma-mays-dianna-agron-golden-globes-2010-red-carpet/
Sorry! I don’t watch “Glee” and I don’t usually pay attention to people on the red carpet that I don’t recognize, so I didn’t notice this person.
As for her dress … meh. Maybe it looked better in HD? Or in person?
Not one of these dresses would pass muster on Project Runway.
Such a horrible start of awards-season for fashion.
Kate Hudson looks like she’s a frosted wedding cake.
Even my friend Jane Lynch (name DROP), who looks the best, isn’t wearing anything memorable or superfantastic.
And that’s all the snark you have for Glitter girl Mariah? That’s a horrible outfit.
The nudes/pinks/peaches were ridiculous, the simple blacks were often overdone, Tina Fey looks like she’s auditioning for Alice in Wonderland.
Mostly I hated all the people sans RDJ, starting with MoNique* who claimed they had something SOOOO important to say that the music had best not start, only to do the same lame listing of people’s names.
Props to Jeff Bridges for thanking his stand-in – that guy was at home doing cartwheels.
Malaprops for Ricky Gervais phoning it in and starting the night with small penis self deprecation when he had a roomful of celebs to actually tell jokes about. Nothing about James Cameron SO wanting to be king of the world he actually created his own world?
No, just a cruel rip on Sir Paul that was biting and sarcastic and witty but meant for a comedy club where Sir Paul WASN’T in attendance. Ricky seems to have forgotten how beloved the Beatle is on this side of the pond.
*I traded in my MoNique fan card the very second you posted this photo and I saw them nastyass legs. Either shave ‘em or move to France, sweetie. Love your comedy, tho!
I kept waiting for the fiber optic sponges on Drew Barrymore’s to light up and float away.. Avatar style.
I thought some of the most interesting photos today were of men trying to hold an umbrella for their wives/significant others while not stepping on their dresses. Seal and Heidi Klum seemed to struggle the most.
