Red Carpet Recap: 2011 Golden Globes Fashion

The Golden Globes kicked off 2011's 'Awards Season' and all eyes were on Hollywood's glitterati last night. With gorgeous colours, bold shapes, and beautiful embellishments, the stars showcased fabulous new trends and delivered the eagerly anticipated headscratching fashion choices we love to goggle over.

Colour Trend: Rich Dark Hues

Both Catherine Zeta-Jones (in Monique Lhuillier) and Mila Kunis (in Vera Wang) offset their gorgeous olive skin-tones in rich emerald greens with intricate rouching. Amy Adams wore a strapless blue Marchesa number with laser-cut details on the bodice, while Olivia Wilde wowed in a stunning ombre-sequined Marchesa gown that she wisely paired with casual styling and minimal makeup... and then there were the shoes!

Colour Trend: Honeysuckle Pinks

This year's It colour had a strong showing: Sofia Vergara accentuated her curves in Vera Wang cinched at the waist with a black belt. Best Actress Winner (for mini-series or made-for-tv movie) Claire Danes looked fresh and elegant in her simple Calvin Klein dress, while Julianne Moore took an edgier approach in her asymmetrical Lanvin gown styled with a statement Bulgari necklace and tasselled Gold clutch.

Colour Trend: Blushing Neutrals

In contrast to the bold colours we saw from others, the blush-toned neutrals were less memorable; however, it was a strong trend that we couldn't overlook.

Scarlett Johansson wore a 1970s-esque Elie Saab gown with butterfly sleeves, while Sandra Bullock in Jenny Packham gave a similar look an edgier spin with a metal chain cuff and blunt fringe. Best Actress winner Natalie Portman wore Viktor & Rolf, and while the look is softly maternal, we couldn't help feeling a little let down.

Bold Sleeves

Leighton Meester in Burberry Prorsum, Anne Hathaway in Giorgio Armani, and Angelina Jolie in Versace came with a bold new silhouette a la shoulder pads and full sleeves. As Anne and Angelina so ably demonstrated, this is a trend where you really should go bold or go home (sorry Leighton).

What The…??

Helena Bonham Carter was deliciously done up in a Vivienne Westwood dress we feel hypnotically mesmerized by, accessorized with mismatched Christmas-coloured shoes. Heidi Klum should have said 'Auf Wiedersehen' to her confusing Marc Jacobs number, while Elizabeth Moss' Donna Karan dress - well, there are no words, are there? Lea Michele gets an honourable mention for her bedskirt-turned-prom-dress we can't help but feel would have been more forgiveable had she chosen a richer hue.

What did you think of the Golden Globe fashions?

Anne Hathaway has almost the exact same hairstyle, but doesn't it look 400x better? Have to give props to Angie though - the colour of her dress makes her eyes glow!

	on January 17, 2011 Ali de Bold STAFF said: Some of these are absolutely gorgeous. But, and though I love her, Julianne Moore's dress is way too pink. It reminds me of a 5 year old's bday party. Though Natalie Portman is another one of my favourites, that rose embellishment on her dress is not. Helena Bonham Carter? I love that she wore that. She always dresses crazy and it's so fun to watch her. Now if only we had some shots of Tilda Swinton to go with all of this. That would really please me.
