Golden Girl
We love to see a star take a risk. Even better? When a star pulls it off. So thank you, Michelle Dockery, for proving that red carpets don't have to be all about plunging necklines or column silhouettes, and a special thanks to your stunning, liquid-gold-looking Alexandre Vauthier. Let the Cousin Violets of the world clutch pearls at your derring-do. You are what Hollywood and fashion are all about.
Dark Fantasy
We almost didn't recognize Taylor Swift without her uniform: red dress, red lips, high school-aged boy accessory. It's refreshing to see her in this deep purple Donna Karan. And solo, at that!
Forget Silver Linings...
Because red Is definitely Jennifer Lawrence's color! Many say the Silver Linings Playbook costar gave the female performance of the year, and tonight she also rocked the color of the night in this red, floor-length Dior Couture. This look is definitely a win, one J.Law doesn't a bow and arrow to achieve.
Couture Confusion
We admire some of the dares that Kerry Washington has taken for her Django Unchained promotion tour, but this look is essentially a couture mullet: sheer mini in the front, solid dress in the back. No thanks.
Kitchen Couture?
Did Amy Adams look a little like a couture funnel in this Marchesa? Maybe. But we'd rather see a risk than a rut. And Adams took a risk. In our opinion, it pays off.
Skin Tight
Yes, Jennifer Lopez, we get it: You have a great ass. Does that mean that every dress you wear has to be painted-on, Stars-on-Ice couture, like this Zuhair Murad? Wait, actually, yes it does. Because this is J.Lo we're talking about.
Over the Top
That rack! Those gams! This Smash star apparently didn't want to choose which of her enviable parts to highlight, so she decided to flash 'em all in this Theyskens Theory gown. Give it up, Katharine McPhee: Nobody can compete with Angelina's grand champion right leg.
Watch Out, Sofia Vergara!
Why is Sarah Hyland here? She obviously already has two Golden Globes stuffed into that Max Azria Atelier.
Sag Awards
From what we can gather, Jessica Chastain has a perfectly acceptable rack. Why her stylist put her in a dress meant for a (ahem) lower-hanging broad, we can only imagine.
Red Hot!
In this simple, stunning, sexy Versace, Claire Danes shows us that perfect Golden Globes style doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles...just, you know, a dress that costs five figures.
