It's that time of year again! Award season. The most famous stars of Hollywood showcase their sense of fashion and the world's top designers. Here are my nominees for best dressed at the Golden Globes.
Lupita Nyong'o
12 Years a Slave
This was her first appearance on the red carpet, and I think she looks gorgeous! Most new stars don't get it right the first time, but she definitely did. She is wearing Ralph Lauren.
Why does this work?
To start with, this dress was a big risk to wear on the red carpet because it has a cape. It works because the cape is off her shoulders, which gives this dress a slight sex appeal. The cape is also close to her body unlike a superhero cape, so it doesn't look like a costume. The actual dress underneath is tailored to perfection. Beautiful!
Taylor Swift
Taylor definitely went out of her comfort zone with this glamorous dress by Carolina Herrera. If you look at her past pictures from award shows, she usually wears champagne with a little sparkle. This time she choose a bold color in a very classic silhouette.
Why does this work?
Let's start from the top! Since this dress has a timeless, classic silhouette, I love that she choose a 40s inspired hairstyle. The modern twist she put on her hair was the side sweep bangs. The sweetheart neckline is great for her small chest because it gives her the illusion of curves. The high waist line on this dress makes Taylor look longer and leaner than she already is.
Olivia Wilde
Can you believe she is pregnant?! When I first saw her on the red carpet, they were showing her from the neck up, and I already knew her dress was stunning. Then they showed her baby bump, and I almost passed out. I hope I can look this beautiful when I'm pregnant.
Why does it work?
Olivia's dress is tight, but not too tight. The slight simmer allows the viewer's eye to travel to different areas of the dress, so you don't focus on her baby bump. Her make-up and hair are flawless as usual. I think you could wrap this girl in a trash bag with the perfect hair and make-up, and she would still look incredible.
