Still working on that Fall Couture Post. In the mean time, I have to gab about the Golden Globes.
In a nutshell, it was yet another parade of boring, bland fashion. Everyone in Hollywood is so obsessed with keeping the status-quo that every starlet looks EXACTLY alike. The same up-swept hair, the same mermaid shape with a train, the same one-shouldered dress, the same boring jewels....You could swap the faces of the women onto each other's bodies, and I guarantee - you couldn't tell the difference. The dresses now are so similar that it no longer matters if the label is Armani Prive, Marchesa or the local dress-maker. They all look alike.
Only two women really stood out and rocked my world. First:
BEST DRESSED: MONIQUE
When I found out Monique won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Precious, I screamed- "You go girl!!" She had a glow about her that was unmistakable. She positively beamed. Her look was simple and elegant, with the emphasis placed on all the right attributes.
The colour of the golden Reem Acra gown complemented her skin, the draping highlighted the right curves, the swept back hair and lack of distracting accessories kept the focus on her dramatic eyes....it just worked.
On a subconscious level, it was also great to see someone who is not a size 2 on the red carpet looking fabulous. You go girl!!! Let's hope she keeps the momentum going till Oscar time. I'm rooting for you!!
