Golden Globes 2012...

The awards season is upon us yet again, and the Golden Globes were the perfect kick-off. The red carpet did not disappoint, flooded with beautiful gowns that were absolute artworks. There was an incredible palette of colours, from vibrant blues, to elegant nudes, sexy reds, fun yellows, intense greens and the classic combo black and white. Some wore truthfully daring/fashion-forward choices (Piper Perabo in Oliver Theyskens), some looked absolutely fierce (Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci), some were a bit disappointing (Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen), some looked picture perfect (Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang), some proved, once again, their ability to surprise us over and over again (Michelle Williams in Jason Wu), some played it safe (Kate Winslet in Jenny Packham), some failed to amaze (Mila Kunis in Christian Dior), some masterfully showed why black is always a dead-on choice (Salma Hayek in Gucci), some were their typical flawless selves (Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace) and some just made a wrong choice (Amanda Peet in Marc Jacobs).

 Below, my personal favourites:

Jessica Alba in Gucci

Mary J Blige in Michael Kors

Julianna Margulies in Naeem Khan

Salma Hayek in Gucci

Viola Davis in Emilio Pucci

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann

Claire Danes in J. Mendel

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang

And the ones that failed to impress:

 

Amanda Peet in Marc Jacobs

Ariel Winter in Dolce Gabbana

Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen

Reese Weatherspoon in Zac Posen

Laura Linney in J. Mendel

Lea Michele in Marchesa

@Kleoptra - I liked Charlize's dress but didn't fall in love with it. Maybe it's because she has been wearing Dior since ever, it kind feels you've seen it before...I don't know...but still, I liked it, but others impressed me more :) Rachel Evan Wood looked fierce :) Kuddos to Gucci :):):)
