Celebrity Style – Fashion Favorites at the 2010 Golden Globes
January 20, 2010
Gold, glitter, and gowns. In the midst of awards season, the 2010 Golden Globes gave me everything I wanted: crazy amounts of fashion to analyze! Of course dozens of celebrities have been planning their every style move for months, but only seven celebrities caught my eye with some of their trend setting designs. Here are the fashion favorites at the 2010 Golden Globes, Oligoville style:
1. Classic Hollywood – Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer’s black Valentino dress was reminiscent of old Hollywood Glam that could withstand the test of time. The true fashion star quality of this dress is the one shoulder and leg slit complimenting one another. Her simplistic styling is the just the right touch.
2. Modern Art – Drew Barrymore. This Atelier Versace gown has been hit or miss with a lot of critics, however I find it quite the unique piece of modern art. The sea creature-like shoulder and hip accents make Drew look like
a sculpture that could be found in MOMA. The elegant symmetry and the neutral color makes her look exuberant. She was like a living piece of art work sparkling with design and shape.
3. Tattered Chic – Emily Blunt. A simple basic gown silhouette turned uber chic by Dolce and Gabbana with tattered and distressed fabric edges. The gathered layering of chiffon adds even more intriguing textures that make Emily one of the best dressed, despite the rain trumping her hair-do.
4. Marvelous Metallic – Anna Paquin. We all know sequins are a big trend right now, but turning those sequins into an elegant evening gown couldn’t have been done better by Stella McCartney. The perfectly placed low-cut bodice with the matching floor v-cut turned out to be shape defining and the metallic choice radiantly
shined against Anna’s skin tone. While her shoe choice could be improved, Anna makes the metallic trend belong on the red carpet.
5. Romantic Mermaid – Penelope Cruz. The mermaid silhouette complements Penelope’s shape and creates a lovely flow to the different textures of lace, striped layering, and ruffled ending. Bare shoulders maximize the romantic feel of the black ball gown accentuating Penelope’s dark features and golden skin. She couldn’t have gone wrong with this Giorgio Armani Prive piece.
6. Ruffled Draping – Chloe Sevigny. Chloe Sevigny knows how to push fashion to the edge with another controversial dress. Many opinions have been flying over her choice saying it resembled toilet paper and poor construction or too “over the top”. I found that Chloe, like Drew, was a another living art piece. The light lavender ruffled draping was quite peaceful and reminded me of a water color painting.
Magnificent thought went into the placement of waves on the body and minimal jewelry made the dress a statement piece. The only thing that could have made this dress even better, would have been a smile from Chloe.
7. Artistic Architecture – Kate Hudson. Crisp construction and immaculate white fabric, Kate
Hudson’s Marchesa dress was the talk of the town in my book. I can’t remember the last time a dress with so much sleek architecture hit the awards show carpet. Sharp bodice angles and a sleek and slim leg, this gown was definitely a head turner and well-worn by Kate. It looks like its not the most wearable dress in terms of movement, but it was beautifully styled and structured.
Whats your take on this year’s Golden Globe fashion?
