The 2014 Golden Globes Lookbook

I was so impressed by so many looks on the red carpet at this year's Golden Globes that I thought that because the fashion was mostly really top notch, I would make a post on some of my favourite looks. At first when I looked through the dresses on eTv's website I was very disappointed with them, but they obviously just missed a whole lot of good ones because after I watched the Fashion Police Golden Globes Special, I couldn't decide which was my favourite!

EMMA WATSON IN CHRISTIAN DIOR COUTURE

This is definitely one of my favourite looks from the night. I know a lot of people would dissagree because it is very unusual and different, but wow, I think this is taking a risk and it has definitely paid off. When I first saw it from the front, I was like 'okay that's nice but nothing amazing' and then she turned around and I literally couldn't even understand what she'd done. I love that it is very sweet and pretty and nicely fitted in the front and then at the back, those black high-waisted leggings/pants are just so cool and her open back looks stunning. Plus I love the colour on her, I think the single strap at the back is so cool and her hair and make-up are perfect.

LUPITA NYONG'O IN RALPH LAUREN

Wow! This was Lupita's first ever red carpet and what an incredible way to start! Firstly, this woman is so beautiful  that anything put on her would look beautiful, but she didn't disappoint! I'm usually not a fan of capes but this one looks lovely, I especially liked it when it was moving (left). And also, I mean, look how amazing her body is too. She kept it perfectly simple with make-up and jewellery and just looked super polished and beautiful!

OLIVIA WILDE IN GUCCI

Olivia Wilde also looked stunning. I think it is very risky to wear an emerald sparkly dress on the red carpet after Angelina Jolie's take on it to the 2011 Globes in Versace, but Olivia did a pretty good job and is glowing. 

Usually I would have thought a tight dress wasn't a good idea while you're pregnant, but this really works, and I like it a lot, I personally maybe would have pulled her hair up or back because of the high neck, but otherwise, this is really nice!

I also like the long sleeves very much and she really does look great in this, the colour suits her and her make up isn't too much to match such a statement dress. 

ZOOEY DESCHANEL IN OSCAR DE LA RENTA

Oscar De La Renta is usually one of my favourite designers, and I actually do like this dress on Zooey despite some people not thinking the same. I included the run way photo, because I definitely prefer it on the model but I think its very girly and pretty on Zooey and I really love her, I just don't like the way it shows her ankles and I was a little disappointed with the way her hair was done. But I did really like it on her besides those two little things. 

MARGOT ROBBIE IN GUCCI

Another great dress by Gucci, Margot Robbie looked really stunning and elegant. I have never seen her on the red carpet before, but I loved this! 

She has a great body to pull of a fitted dress like this, and I love the accents of green around the neckline. I also think the matched emerald shoe was very nice (although a little too big if you look closely and I'm knit-picking). I think her hair and make-up were perfect for the dress and overall it's just really lovely.

She looks very well put together and sophisticated and I like the slit as well, otherwise I think it would have looked too stiff. Her simple accessories (but definitely very expensive!) work very well too. 

SOFIA VERGARA IN ZAC POSEN

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Sofia Vergara in this ball-gown styled dress. I am so used to seeing her in her typical mermaid dresses and this was just something different that looked very nice. I love the necklace, I think that despite it being paired with a very bold dress, it still works, especially because the dress is quite simple and black.

 I think that the skirt is just slightly too big and I would have preferred it just a little smaller. But Sofia definitely knew how to work it and I think it was a refreshing change. 

AMY ADAMS IN VALENTINO

Amy Adam's beautiful red Valentino dress was definitely one of my top favourites of the night! There was some crit about how low her neckline plunges, but I actually liked it a lot and thought she did it very well. You can't see well in the picture, but there is a beautiful crystal (or something like that) long necklace that hangs between the plunge, and I think it really looks so pretty. Not only her dress but hair and make-up were also perfect for this dress in my opinion. Yeah, I just really like this one, it drapes so nicely and falls beautifully from the waist down with just the right length of training material. She initially wore it (when she walked in) with this cool red cape as well which also looked amazing. 

KATE BECKINSALE IN ZUHAIR MURAD

Kate is so gorgeous, but I loved this mermaid shape on her, and even though I'm not usually a fan of such glittery and over the top dresses of this colour, I somehow really like this one. Kate's hair and make-up is stunning and also, she has toned down accessories because the dress is very dominant. 

TAYLOR SWIFT IN CAROLINA HERRERA

When I first saw this dress I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I've decided I do, it is just unusual to see colour blocking when the black (in this case) is not at the waist, but higher up. The dress looks pink to me in all the pictures, but when I watched the actual Globes, it was definitely red, which I liked a lot better. And yeah, I think she looks very nice and sophisticated. 

A lot of people also loved Cate Blanchett's dress so check that out, it just wasn't  personally one of my favourites. Let me know in the comments if they were any other looks that you liked!

RED CARPET DESIGNERS: Oscar De La Renta

Okay, so this is my last designer for this series of posts... I only choose these three because they so far, tend to have dresses that I particularly like and stand out to me. But if these posts have interested you at all, definitely check out Versace, Dior, Chanel, Carolina Herera and Gucci, because they are other ones that I love and feel free to comment if there are any other designers I should do a post like this about :) 

SPRING 2011:

I absolutely love this dress, it is just so well fitted.
The model has a tiny waist, which really suits this dress, and I love
the sash hanging down. I also love the quite deep scoop neck cut.

Kind of like a mild "mermaid look". Very fitted and elegant.
I think that the low neckline has been done very well, I love the
thin belt pulling in at the waist and the super thin straps. 

I really like this dress. I just think the lace detail is so pretty!

FALL 2011:

This is just such a unique and beautiful
piece. I especially love the top bit,  from above the bust to
the neckline. 

Whilst this is not something that I personally would
wear, I also really like it. It's simplicity and shape is very striking,
and the one shoulder is cut beautifully I especially like the "zebra"
band that goes along the one shoulder cut. 

Th fabric is interesting, I am not sure what I think of it
yet. But I love the cut and shape of the dress! I think that it is so
well fitted, the mermaid shape looks so beautiful and I love the
one shoulder. 

SPRING 2012

I love this dress. The colours quite surprisingly, work
well together. I love the black lace and the big flared out skirt.
It is very high fashion, but I love it. I also love the 3/4 lace sleeves of the crop top. 

Similar to the one above, I also really like this. Again, perfect colours.
I like the three quarter sleeves very much and the lace is beautiful.
This skirt is so beautifully draped and gathered, and yeah, just a really interesting
cool lace crop top and skirt. 

I love the cut of this dress. The skirt is flowy and perfect
for spring/summer, the belt is a nice touch and the low line neck cut
is really suited. I like the colour too, it is very bright, but I think
that it probably does work here. 

FALL 2012

What I like about this dress is that its very interesting
and certainly unique. I like the baby pink and the gold detail
on the left if the bust is something that I've never seen before.

I think that the silver(y) dress on the right is very pretty.
It is a simple cut and style, but pulled off really well despite the super metallic material.
I also really like the drop-waist style and contrasting materials in the dress on the left. 

SPRING 2013:

I love this dress too, I think that it is a beautiful
colour,  and I really like how the white flowers become more
clustered towards the top. It is also like it's length and that is gives a peep of the ankles
and shoes. 

This is such a flattering dress because of the black stripe
along the side. I like the detail at the neck and the high slit.

This was by far, the most loved and talked-
about dress of this collection. And I can see why, I think it's super pretty
- the only thing I'm not a fan of is the belt buckle thing along the waist.

So thats it for my red carpet designers posts, hope you enjoyed!
