Spring’s big trends like punch, trippy colors and bouquets of flowers were missing on the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards. Instead red carpet watchers were treated to a parade of nude and blush dresses like Charlize Theron’s deep neckline Dior Couture dress with a bustle on the waist, easily the best of the evening. The supermodel Elle MacPherson wore a dress that looked like a corset exploding in a sea of ruffles in the bottom designed by Zac Posen. Television star Piper Perabo wore a voluminous ball gown from Theyskens’ Theory, a dress so big it could drown the wearer. Julie Bowen channeled Grace Kelly in a pleated Reem Acra gown with bejewelled cap sleeves. Diane Lane glowed in a Reem Acra dress that reminded me of a Gustav Klimt robe.
Other celebrities in nude/blush confections were Sarah Hyland in a Dolce & Gabbana number that malfunctioned on the red carpet, Katherine McPhee, Kate Beckinsale in Roberto Cavalli, Heidi Klum in a halter neck dress with an open back, the comedienne Kristen Wiig, and the singer Mary J. Blige in a sparkly Michael Kors dress with a feathered hem. And Angelina Jolie looked every bit the A-list Hollywood glamour puss in an exquisitely fitted blush Atelier Versace dress that hinted at a red lining with the flipped neckline.
The other color trend of the evening was blue with Sofia Vergara in a Vera Wang dress with a mermaid hem. Red carpet stars Michelle Williams (winner of the best actress award in a comedy/musical for My Week With Marilyn) wore a velvet dress by Jason Wu and Tilda Swinton in a pale blue fish tail hem gown with a structured blazer that was masculine-feminine perfection. Sarah Michelle Gellar wore what looked like a blue paint-splattered ball gown by Monique Lhuillier. And Frieda Pinto wore a teal colored Prada creation, the shape of which reminded me of Olivier Theyskens’ early work at Rochas.
Other stunners on the red carpet included Kate Winslet (winner of the best actress award in a mini-series for Mildred Pierce) and Claire Danes in J. Mendel (best actress winner in TV drama for Homeland) both in black and white dresses, Reese Witherspoon in a red Zac Posen, Jessica Alba in Gucci, Zooey Deschanel in a custom beaded Prada dress with an infanta neck detail and Girl With A Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara in a black Nina Ricci dress with cutouts in the bodice.
