Golden Globes 2016: Best and Worst

SadieLeave a comment

Awards Season 2016- here we go! I thought the Golden Globes carpet was relatively reserved this year. Not too many crazy facing statement, and not a ton of skin. There were a few plunging neck lines, but more clavicle than cleavage in general. We got all the requisites- 100% beads, Grecian draping, all metallic, retro nods, bright red… Not a ton of overarching trends but there was a lot of red and a lot of etherial looks with the lace, scattered bling, and tulle. All in all a good solid start to Awards Season.

As always the pics are from People.com.

Jennifer Lopez all day! I’m a little blown away because she looks fabulous and her dress is completely opaque! She left her sheer blinged out bodysuit at home tonight. I love that it’s conservative but very flattering, and nod to the retro with the yellow tone.

Jane Fonda is EVERYTHING! I love a fashion statement that is actually really pretty. I also love that Jane Fonda is making this statement and not a Zendaya or Amy Adams.

Kate Winslet is understated but fabulous. I think she makes an effort to be understated on the carpet and steers away from anything very sexy or fashion forward. It’s a fine line between chic and boring, and she’s really pulling off the chic tonight!

Emmy Rossum in red perfection by Armani Prive! This dress looks like it was made for her. I also love the lip and the funky but subtle necklace. Perfect!

Leslie Mann erring on etherial. I think this dress looks unfinished, like they forgot to add embellishment to the bodice. The silhouette is not my favorite, but I think it would have been do-able if the fabric above the waist had a little more drape or there was a better necklace. It looks too stiff up top. Not really loving the color on her either.

Amanda Peet being Amanda Peet. She is never my favorite. She often does a drop waist 1920’s silhouette and I don’t love it. It’s not her worst but it’s not my favorite. I would love her to do something different like full on Hollywood glam just once.

Amy Schumer is a little too boring. I love Amy Schumer and I get the concept of the look. I think she wants to do something basic to play by rules but keep a low fashion profile. I just want to see her in something a little more interesting and little less prom.

Heidi Klum is a flapper flop. I find this dress neither flattering nor pretty. If anything it gives a saggy look. Her makeup and jewelry can use some help too. We can do better Heidi.

Who were your best and worst?

Golden Globes Best and Worst

Awards season 2015: here we go!

First of all, I have not seen too many movies this year for whatever reason, but I did see The Imitation Game on Christmas day and it is the best. I think it should win every award from now on! I am a full fledged Cumberbitch now!

Now lets talk about clothes. There was a lot of white on the red carpet, and a lot of rather simple dresses. Lots of glamorous mermaid and column silhouettes rather than more fashion forward unique choices. It seemed relatively understated overall, but very elegant. A lot of pretty and sexy dresses, but not many statement fashion pieces. A good steady start to Awards season.

I borrowed all of the images from People.com.

My Best:

Amy Adams

Amy Adams: At first I thought this was a little boring, but frankly it’s quite impeccable. Usually she chooses a bolder color, so I was surprised she went for a pastel blue. The draping and the fit couldn’t be better. If it wasn’t perfect I think it would fall in the realm of bridesmaid dress, but Amy did it right!

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain: She always cracks me up because she seems like such a sweet, understated person during the red carpet interviews, but she really serves up the drama with her dress every single time. Not a groundbreaking silhouette but it’s definitely working for her and I love a metallic!

Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick: Anna is a Kate Spade spokesperson, and this gown seems very Kate Spade-ish to me so it makes sense. I like that it’s classic but has some interest with the beading. It works very well for her.

Reese

Reese Witherspoon: This is very plain but I think it’s just done very well. There were several stars that did similar looks, but the metallic kicks it up a notch. I don’t know that Reese is usually this sparkly so I was happy to see her amp it up a little. (The one thing that would have pushed it up one more notch would be some big sapphire statement pieces to add some interest)

My Worst:

Rosamund Pike

Rosamund Pike: The concept of the dress is not terrible. I find it ill-fitting and very unflattering on her. It seems like the straps are two inches too long.

Amanda Peet

Amanda Peet: She usually leans towards a retro look (somewhere from 1920’s-1940’s), so this dress does not surprise me for her. I wish it was a little less blah. If the waist was defined with a wide band and it bloused out a little above the natural waist, it might be a little more flattering. With a little nip and a tuck it would be so much better, it’s just too much blousey material.

Taylor Schilling

Taylor Schilling: The dress is not a bad dress, but the whole look seems way too severe and she does not look her best. I think it’s the middle part, strong eye brows, and red lips. It’s a little much.

George Clooney, Amal Clooney

Amal Clooney: Could this be more of a snooze? I think she was trying to be subtle so she wouldn’t steal George’s thunder, but I was very disappointed.

What are your thoughts? Who were your best and worst?

The SAG Awards’ Best and Worst

Sadie1 Comment

Here we go with the second awards show of the season. I thought there were some higher highs and some lower lows from a fashion perspective as compared to the Golden Globes last week. The name of the game was simple and perfectly tailored. It’s the busier, blousier dresses where people seemed to get into trouble. (photos from People.com again)

The Best:

Amy Adams: This blue is spot on for her red hair and fair complexion. Though her Golden Globes look got praise, I think this was an improvement.

Amy Adams

Jennifer Garner: Super simple, nothing new, but dare I say perfect? It’s hard to look better than this.

Jennifer Garner

Cara Theobold: I don’t know who this is, but she can pick a dress. I like how this is nothing outrageous, but it’s not the average sleeve, or print placement. Classic but interesting.

Cara Theobold

Elisabeth Moss: It’s got to be difficult picking several perfect dresses to wear throughout awards season. Elisabeth is definitely off to a great start this season. Plus she got the orange-red memo like many others this year as well.

Elisabeth Moss

The Worst:

Claire Danes: This one has a lot of different textures going on and a weird cut, plus her makeup looks a little scary to me. Not my favorite from Ms. Danes.

Claire Danes

Edie Falco: Can you say unflattering? Between the silhouette and the bohemian print, I don’t really understand why she made this choice.

Edie Falco

Amanda Peet: Is she serious? In what world is this flattering, pretty, or glamorous? Amanda needs a refresher course on red carpet fashion.

Amanda Peet

Meryl Streep: I didn’t want to have to do this, because it’s Meryl. I wasn’t going to, but she was mediocre at the Golden Globes as well. She’s just not trying anymore. I get it, it’s not her thing to find a fabulous gown, but we can do better than this Meryl.
