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!

Worst

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?

SAG Awards Best and Worst

SadieLeave a comment

The SAG awards is always an interesting fashion event because there is usually a little more creativity than the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards, but this year there were some really chic simple gowns. I’m not sure if this is valid, but I felt like there was some star power missing from the show. And by star power I mainly mean Benedict Cumberbatch, the only star who matters (I also didn’t see Mark Ruffalo, Kate Hudson, Tina Fey, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, or Channing Tatum). I will forgive him though because his fiance is expecting, so maybe they have to pick their moments this year. (Speaking of pregnant: Is Amy Poehler pregnant? I can’t tell, and it’s always awkward to ask… I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend.)

I borrowed the images from People.com.

My Best:

Felicity Jones

Felicity Jones: This is a perfect combination of interesting and understated. I love the architectural detail and the perfect fit. She looks flawless, timeless, glamorous, elegant…

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon: Another chic simple gown. Reese always stays pretty simple, but it usually looks great, and this was no exception. The back was interesting as well. She’s now a regular on my best list!

Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum: I thought this was a great combination of pretty, interesting, flattering, and fashionable. I love a lace motif, and this is a great spin on the standard lace overlay dress. I’m not thrilled with the middle part bangs, but you can’t win ’em all.

My Worst:

Rashida Jones

Rashida Jones: This is just not doing it for me. The hair and makeup is nice and the silhouette is not hideous but I don’t really get the print and trim. It looks like it could be the makings of a great apron, but it doesn’t seem like a formal enough print/color for the red carpet.

Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep: This kills me a little because who would want to be negative about Meryl. The problem is that I could wear this dress to work, and frankly, it wouldn’t be one of my “dressy” days. She was a nominee! She pretty much does this for every awards show, I would love to see her do a gown and wear something other than black. Also, would it kill you to wear a necklace with that v-neck?

Claire Danes

Claire Danes: I don’t get it. The fabric looks like drapes, and the belt kills it. It’s baggy and not particularly flattering. I know Ms. Danes likes to be fashion forward in a creative way, but better luck next time. I will say, though, hair and makeup is pretty great.
