| 71st Golden Globe Award Winning Films and Actors - a summary |
So it's that time of year again; the 2014 awards season officially kicked off last weekend premièring with a dazzling night at the 71st Golden Globes. Stars, actors, and singers alike gathered for a night of crisp champagne filled cheers and no doubt cheeky after parties whilst us normal lot fixated our eyes, green with envy, at the Haute Couture and and luxury designer dresses that graced our screens at 1am {or caught up in the media the next day}.
This year the golden night was hosted by entertaining duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in Beverly Hills, Cali. Red carpets were flowing much like the wine and flocks of pristine ball gowns, tailored suits, {sometimes} outrageous outfits and flawless faced VIPs flooded the walkway as nominees, plus ones and celebs made their entrance.
The ceremony that boasts the talent of actors on both the big and small screen wouldn't be an event without sourcing fashion highs and lows and that's just what I've done. Red, white and black were the statement colours this year with the odd green, yellow {yes yellow!} and blue tones creeping onto the crimson carpet.
To kick off my list, in a royal red gown to match the infamous walkway, an original combination sported by Miss Watson. This high neck dress revealed nothing from the front as hip length leg splits revealed only tailored black trousers. Yet, the Dior combo from the Couture collection daringly showed off Emma's sexiness as she posed for the pap with a sultry look over her shoulders. Although Miss W. pulled off the outfit herself, I was not taken aback with first impressions of the dress from the front. Thoughts?

Rocking the red and black gowns, French-Argentinian actress from The Artist, Bérénice Bejo, stood casually in Valli couture matched with the finest Dior jewellery as the two in their twenties, Wild Child star Emma Roberts and country-turned-pop singer Taylor Swift posed in a custom made piece by Lanvin and pre-AW14 Carolin Herrera.
I have so much love and envy for these next two girls. Leslie Mann couldn't look any hotter in this Dolce & Gabbana peplum gown, the intricate lace is so simple yet sexy and well hello Miss Adams {+ well done for winning best actress for her performance in American Hustle}! This simple Valentino Couture number highlights all her assets without revealing too much and Amy plays it elegantly with a royal wave.
Cutest couple award {although I know we are all far to jealous to care} goes to Mr and Mrs Tatum who teamed Gucci with Cavalli for an ultimate monochrome look, whilst most suited and booted men of the night were Star Trek's finest, Chris Pine, and Mr Hanks himself looking suave in Tom Ford.
Yet with all those gorgeous looking celebs there had to come a point where we wondered who drew the short straw on stylists. Fortunately there were only a few fashion faux-pas last weekend. My least favourite and 'what were they thinking' outfits included Jemima Kirke in a dress that camouflaged her tattoos {one bonus I guess then?!}, Julia Robert's interesting Dolce and Gabbana dress-shirt combo, a hideous yellow Zac Posen gown, worn by Lena Dunham and Sandra Bullock's colour block Prabal Gurung gown.
There are no words for my expression towards Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof as they joined the after-party at The Weinstein Company, maybe if there was no flash we may have been able to see the dresses? Their outfits were a total washout!
Unlike some, I was not taken aback by Jennifer Lawrence's frock this year, after her stunning scene in Dior at the Oscars in 2013 anything will always be difficult to follow. The white dress with its odd black additions and short hair were a no for me, let's hope she impresses once again at the 2014 Oscars? Congratulations to her nevertheless for winning Best Supporting Actress alongside Amy Adams for her performance in American Hustle {which I am yet to and very eager to see!}.
And finally, I've saved my favourite two frocks of the night until last. Two señoritas who really went for gold Sofia Vergara {Gloria from my new fave sitcom Modern Family} and New Girl chick Zooey Deschanel looked absolutely stunning. Vergara stunned in a simple yet very effective black Zac Posen gown teamed perfectly with a bold blue statement necklace while Deschanel looked elegantly chic in a champagne Oscar de la Renta number, matching de la Renta heels and a subtle Charlotte Olympia clutch.
