Golden Globes Fashion-Best Dressed Women

This year's Golden Globes red carpet fashion had a lot of ups, a lot of downs and a whole lot of in the middles. Here we take a look at the ups.

In a sea of straight, fitted one colored gowns Olivia Wilde stood out as a definite frontrunner for best dressed of the evening as soon as she stepped onto the red carpet. In my opinion, and the opinion of many others, she walked away with it hands down. Her chocolate brown sparkling Marchesa gown was a stunning example of glamour done right. The gown was flawless, her hair while plain allowed the gown to shine and kept her from looking to princess-like, and jewelry was at a minimum due to the crystals on the dress. Everything was perfect...except for (and it pains me to say this) the shoes!!!


They were awful and did not go with the dress at all. And that is coming from a person who loves the the combination of soft and feminine with hard and edgy. Terrible. The dress was one of the best but the shoes were one of the worst. Thankfully the gorgeous dress covered the hideous shoes.

Carrie Underwood once again proved her knack for red carpet dressing, if she could only transfer that knack to her concert wardrobe she would be a fashion force to be reckoned with. Underwood was fabulous in her Badgley Mischka gown. Where she went wrong was her hair, which is normally the thing she gets soo right. I couldn't really tell which was worse the beehive or female version of Elvis's mutton shops.

Jennifer Lawrence is becoming one of my red carpet favorites this awards season. Her looks manage to be sexy and edgy while maintaining an air of spohistication. Lawrence's black and grey Louis Vuitton gown definitely puts her her on the list of Hollywood's young trendsetters.

Nominee Amy Adams looked elegant and sophisticated in her navy Marchesa gown. The laser cut bodice was beautiful and the fitted bottom showed off her fabulous post-baby body.

While not the most exciting look of the evening, Nicole Kidman's cream colored Prada looked great on her.

Mila Kunis worked the red carpet in an elegant deep green Vera Wang gown.

In today's world of teenage celebrities dressing like strippers, seeing 14-year old True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld looking sophisticated and age appropriate on the red carpet was a welcome sight. The actress's white Prabal Gurung dress is versatile enough to look good on women from 14-40.

Rachel Zoe does it again. The stylist's long time client Anne Hathaway looked ahmazing (as Rachel would say) in her bronze Armani Privé gown. From the front the dress looks great, but once you see the back it turns into a complete stunner.
