Jewel Tones

Unlike most Golden Globes, black took a backseat to the rich, deep hues in the jewel-tone family.

Sequins

It may have seemed like the disco era was back with all the sequins we saw, but celebs like Kate Hudson, Olivia Wilde and Uzo Aduba modernized the look in simple, chic silhouettes.

Cut-Outs

Not the typical rounded midsection cut-outs, this year's skin-baring sections were unusual in size and placement.

Ruffles

Whether they were mini, like on Rooney Mara and Alicia Vikander's gowns, or much larger, like on Jane Fonda's frock, ruffles seemed to be the design detail du jour.

White

White can be unforgiving, not to mention, very bridal, but on celebs like Taraji P. Henson and Saoirse Ronan, it was angelic.

Embellishments

It seems like a majority of dresses had 3-D details. Stars like Jenna Dewan Tatum, Kate Bosworth and Malin Akerman stunned even from afar.

Sleek Hair

While voluminous Old Hollywood waves are typical for this awards show, stars like Cate Blanchett and Olivia Palermo opted for sleek, shiny hairstyles.
