Golden Globes 2016 Fashion Recap

The kick-off to award season also means the start of red carpet fashion. Last night's Golden Globes had more fashion hits than misses, so overall, I'd say we're off to a good start! Jennifer Lawrence looked red hot in Dior and sporting a lighter shade of blonde. She is really coming into her own on the fashion front. Jennifer Lopez, stepped outside her comfort zone and embraced a mustard-yellow Giambattista Valli gown. She was stunning. Perfection from head-to-toe, so before all the haters start [or continue] to comment on JLo... check your personal insecurities at the door. Julianne Moore is always flawless and in Tom Ford, so would you. Alicia Vikander made Loius Vuitton proud and Lady Gaga was sophisticated in Versace.

The unfortunates of the evening, just to name a few+, because there were more than a few, were Zendaya, Bryce Dallas Howard, Maura Tierney, Katy Pery and Kate Hudson.

Zendaya is nothing more than a spoiled little girl playing dress up in women's clothing. Go away.

Bryce Dallas Howard bragged about shopping for her Jenny Packham at Neimans. Jenny must have been horrified at how frumpy she made her frock look. Bryce argued that as a size six she wanted choices... bitch please, you've got daddy money and can afford to have any designer dress you. Bryce look better in her Jurassic World white suit running through the mud and being chased by dinosaurs than she did on the red carpet in her old lady dress.

Kate Hudson must be going through a mid-life crisis because she looked like an old hooker. I mean, cougar. An old cougar. Cover up!

And speaking of covering up... Katy Pery had too much hair and too much 'Globes'... Did Prada run out of fabric? 

But, the worst of the worst goes to Maura Tierney. Did you notice that no one bothered asking who dressed her? Goodwill? Salvation Army thrift stores? And what about that hair?? Ladies, you know when you go to the gym and you pull up your hair to get it out of the way?

Golden Globes 2015 Red Carpet Fashion

The 2015 Golden Globes red carpet sparkled and shimmered with a never ending fashion wave of glamour and couture. There were very few misses and even then, they weren't disastrous. By the same token, there were really no show-stopping red carpet moments. Except for Jennifer Lopez who wore a super-fashion hero cape. Julianne Moore, who is one of my regular faves, did not disappoint in a shimmery, feathered Givenchy and "it" girl Felicity Jones in Dior Couture. I also loved Lorde in a two-piece Narciso Rodriguez. She seemed happy and comfortable with herself, even sporting red lipstick - a welcomed and chic departure from the gothy dark! 

Some of the ladies who missed the mark were, but not limited to, Lena Dunham, Claire Danes and Kerry Washington. But the most offensive had to be Keira Knightly. She looked like a sister-wife on a FDLS cult date night. Uncle Karl what were you thinking?

The men, well most of them, brought it. Sharp, classic, dapper and debonair in their fitted black tie. However, Kevin Hart's blazer with piping was so 2009, stop it! But the worst one of all, though not surprising, was Alan Cumming. The color, fit and shoes were just plain ugly and he buttoned both buttons of his blazer - a huge no no! 

Take a look at the red carpet photo gallery and you can decide who takes the good, bad and the ugly...

The New FASHION POLICE with Kathy Griffin

fashion police

Joan Rivers' legacy lives on Monday night when the E! Network premieres the first Fashion Police after the untimely passing of its iconic and beloved host. Kathy Griffin was the obvious choice for the show and while's there's no replacing the late, great Joan Rivers, Kathy, I believe, will do quite well. C'mom, the bitch can work a pair of Loubs and has a sharp tongue - prerequisites for the job, surely. She'll be fine. And in the spirit of change and newness, stylist (and cutie-pie) George Kotsiopoulos has been replaced by flaming stylist & IG #selfie queen Brad Goreski. There hasn't been an official statement about George's departure from the show so I'm not going to speculate. I do know he is a very busy boy... and talented. I have a good feeling we'll be seeing lots of him in 2015! 

*Tune to E! on Monday for a Golden Globes Fashion Police Red Carpet Recap at 9PM. Best wishes to the new team, Giuliana, Kelly and Melissa Rivers! I'll be watching & tweeting.

W Magazine's Best Performances 2015 & Stunning Celebrity Photos

With the award season among us, kicked-off by this weekend's Golden Globes, W Magazine has released their annual "Best Performances" movie issue. Stunning, brilliant and colorful images of Hollywood's superstars like Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and Shailene Woodley have captured the creative mind and lens of photographer Tim Walker. W Magazine says Walker "was influenced by the colorful, sun-drenched Los Angeles paintings and photographs of David Hockney, as well as the '70s free-love aesthetic that informs the artist's work." The willingness from the actors to transform played beautifully with Walker's vision and sensibility resulting in an exquisite, stylized and visually dynamic body of work.

Best & Worst Dressed Golden Globes 2013

My best dressed ladies on the red carpet are those who know how to work a gown, how to style their hair, wear their make-up and accessorize with confidence. Of course, there's always room for improvement as you shall see... MY pick for best dressed  is 52 year old

Julianne Moore

. She embodies, fashion, style and sophistication. She was totally on trend with her black & white Tom Ford gown. Julianne knows how to wear a dress; the dress does not wear her. Younger starlets can learn a lot from watching Julianne Moore. Flawless.

Just look at that pose... a true A list celebrity... I hope Anne keeps her hair short for a little while!

Amy Adams looks beautiful and glamorous though the gown washes her out and I wish she had worn large earrings. It would have better balanced the silhouette.

Lucy Lui is so gorgeous in this Carolina Herrera gown. The dress is pristine while Lucy's hair not as perfect making the entire look fresh and modern.

I just adore Adele. Love her signing, love her speaking and love her style. The only suggestion I'll make is to consider a modern hairstyle.

LOVE the dress but really Robert Verdi (Eva's stylist) did you make her stick the leg out like that? It ruined it for me... Did anyone notice her walking down the carpet? Eva looked like a baby ostrich. It was very distracting. Not crazy about the hairstyle either. Seems like I've seen it, a lot.

Jessica needs to lose the necklace and take notes from Julianna Moore on how to wear a gown... It's wearing her.

[caption id="attachment_18878" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Jennifer Lawrence; Dior"]

Jennifer Lawrence does not deserve to wear this dress. She said to Ryan Seacrest, "I am wearing Dior Haute Couture. I don't know what "haute" means but I was supposed to say it." Clearly Jennifer is more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. The Dior had fit issues as well making her side profile weird looking around the cup area.

I nearly died when I learned this was a Zac Posen. Only Lena could make such a sophisticated gown look like some horrible Sherry Hill pageant dress. Lena, also had difficulty walking. She obviously couldn't work her heels. As for her HBO show Girls... I love it. I love her too actually! But I doubt she make any "best dressed" lists anywhere anytime...

[caption id="attachment_18882" align="aligncenter" width="420" caption="Olivia Munn; Giorgio Armani"]

The necklace is in violation of this look. Its all wrong. The bodice has no structure because of the oversized beading which did no favors to her figure. The hair didn't work. Again, you must always take everything into account. If you are dead set on wearing a particular dress, then the hair, shoes and jewelry MUST complement it.

The combination of the ill-fitted, sagging dress and the boring as heck hairstyle is a big, sad fail for Jessica Chastain. The dress is too long, btw.

It kills me to pronounce Halle Berry as MY worst dress pick, but she has gone rogue on good fashion! What is this?! Donatella Versace must have an expression of horror on her face, if she could move it. Was Halle coming from a movie set where she played a warrior princess?? And then, there's the awful leg trend that Angelina started. Halle Berry owes us big time at the next major awards show!!!

BTW, here is what the dress looked like on the Versace runway:
