Emerald City at the Golden Globes: Best and Worst Dressed - Page 2

HONORABLE MENTION.
Despite the fact that it didn’t fit in with the red carpet's obvious themes, I loved Heidi Klum’s hippie vibe in Marc Jacobs. Mayyybe go a little easy on the Bangles next time, though.

MEH.
Scarlett, did you just bust out of the top floor psych ward with that hairdo? I can’t handle that combo on top of your makeup, but the flowy romantic sleeves on your gown make up some points. I said some. Now sleep on the couch in your sinewy Elie Saab gown. Sandy B was trying to be Zooey D. I didn’t mind the bangs, THAT MUCH, but Twitter was unsure. Her Jenny Packham gown could teach ScarJo’s Elie Saab some lessons, however. (Bullock, Johannson photo from WhyFame.com)

Since I don’t like the fact that Natalie Portman is preggers, nor did I approve of the giant rose in her cleavage stemming from her Viktor & Rolf gown, here’s a pic of her Black Swan costume instead:

On the other hand, Jane Krakowski, another starlet sporting a baby bump, decided to take the understated route in a beautiful periwinkle Badgley Mischka gown. Better. Tina Fey, not pregnant, went with a similar hue that didn’t turn out quite as well. 

Regarding the fruits of January Jones’ endorsement deal with Versace, I’m on the fence. Her revealing gown was a bit much for her boring personality, but hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it, right? It reminded me somewhat of the Fifth Element (okay, a whole lot) and was in stark contrast to the romantic vibe on the rest of the red carpet. Hey, at least her dress was better than Jon Hamm’s hair. (January Jones photo from DailyMail). 

Eva Longoria, however, kind of bored me. The look reminds me of something I would wear to a college bar in order to hide my gut from binge drinking the previous night. Cap sleeve. How sweet. Zac Posen is a little too young for your Desperate Housewives persona. And despite Megan Fox’s endorsement deal with Armani, she just looked so-so.

WORST
Olivia Wilde for Marchesa? AWFUL. If this were Prom 2011 (and it’s not), you would blend in with all of the other cupcakes standing on the wall. Fortunately, Olivia's bangs saved her—they should speak to Sandra Bullock’s bangs and give them some pointers. Also, whyyyy those shoes? Louboutins don’t automatically match everything. Granted, if you were wearing some awesome leggings or black skinny jeans, go for it. You weren’t. (Olivia Wilde photo from Jezebel.com)
