Golden Globe Awards 2015
Yes yes yes, I’m a little bit late and I have no excuse for this, so I’ll tell you the truth: I forgot about it. Unacceptable. But after all, I’m here, and even if after three days, I’m ready to tell you about the BEST and WORST dressed at this year’s Golden Globe Awards. Ready for the star-studded highs and lows?
BEST DRESSED
I have to say it, when it comes to red carpets, I always find one particular look which really wins me over and I think it’s outstanding. Well, it wasn’t so this time. Many nice, simple and elegant outfits but no one which really made me fall in love. Am I becoming too demanding? Maybe.
- Emma Stone in Lanvin: she was not the only one who opted for a top/trousers ensemble, but I loved the red-carpetish vibe to the whole look, even if it wasn’t an evening gown. First of all, the bling bling of the top was really balanced by the black of the trousers, but most of all I loved that touch of something given by the silky black train tied around the waist. Really chic. ★★★+
- Naomi Watts in Gucci: how I love when celebrities go for a bold colour down the red carpet! With this yellow simple dress Naomi Watts really nailed and shone above many others of her colleagues. Loved the length which covers the feet and the belt which perfectly complements the look. ★★★★
- Reese Witherspoon in Calvin Klein Collection: she was my favourite of the night, proving again that she’s wonderful in everything she does. Yes, if you read some others of my red carpet reviews you know I have a crush on her, but I think it’s impossible not to fall in love with her spontaneous style. This gown is the perfect representation of the minimal style of Calvin Klein, which totally suits Reese’s personality. Amazing how blingy yet subtle and elegant is the fabric. Perfect for the night. ★★★★+
WORST DRESSED
- Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad Couture: she’s constantly in my Worst Dressed list, so no surprise she deserved one of the three places again. It really looks like it’s a fusion between a bat and a python. Apart from this, I don’t know if it’s a problem I personally have or it’s really this way, but it seems to me every single gown she chooses becomes extremely vulgar over her. It’s maybe my own prejudice, but I would really like, for once, to see her wearing something basic and very chic, I guess she would extremely beautiful and sexy as well with that perfect body! But this dress, was definitely a miss, I don’t like the shape, I don’t like the colour, I don’t like the fabric. †††
- Lena Dunham in Zac Posen: yes, both Lena Dunham and Zac Posen as well are habitués of my Worst Dressed list. Basically Lena always makes the wrong choice, and Zac Posen always designs for those who are going to make bad choices. So, it’s a perfect couple. Pity that this dress, apart from being horrible in itself - I think the fabric is the most horrendous thing on earth - doesn’t flatter Lena’s body at all. She’s a curvy woman, and she should really find something which suits her body in the right way. Someone help her, please. ††††
- Giuliana Rancic in Maria Lucia Hohan: I’m relieved by the fact that even if I didn’t find anyone who totally caught me among the Best Dressed, at least I definitely found an EXTREMELY Worst Dressed. And what’s more, it’s Giuliana Rancic, which should be the one who really knows about how to dress for a red carpet event. But no, this dress is the proof you can talk about fashion and still dress as a wedding cake. Nothing to say apart from the fact that she was RIDICULOUS. †††††

Met Gala 2015 - Best and Worst Dressed
After a long vacation from my blog - which I swear, it’s finished - I couldn’t help making my come back with a major red carpet event: the Met Gala Ball - not a case if it’s considered the Oscars of fashion.
This year the annual ball gave start to the exhibit ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’ and stars gathered in New York to show the most amazing and bizarre set of dresses you could imagine. In the last year, I must admit, I was bored by how few people dressed badly for such events, but the Met Gala is definitely the occasion in which celebrities show their worst - and I couldn’t be more pleased.
BEST DRESSED
You know I always prefer starting from the three best dressed and leave the juicy part at the end. It was pretty easy to choose, actually: most of the stars opted for dresses which were inspired by Chinese art and tradition, and this translated into costume and embarrassing moments most of the times - though Lady Gaga and Fan Bingbing showed on the red carpet in beautiful maxi kimonos. There were only few who nailed it, and these are my top 3.
Kendall Jenner in Calvin Klein Collection
Every best dressed list needs at least one simple dress - that’s why I chose her instead of Bee Shaffer, beautifully dresses in a stunning burgundy Alexander McQueen gown. And usually the most simple and elegant dresses on the red carpet are by Calvin Klein collection - seriously, I realised there’s at least a CK gown in each one of my red carpet reports. Kendall is young, beautiful, one of the most successful models of the moment, and of course she couldn’t but choose a blingy dress with a sexy twist - the strings on the side showing the right amount of skin. Loved the turtleneck, which balances the naked parts.
★★★+
Sienna Miller in Thakoon
Jacket + trousers is always a good idea for a very formal red carpet: it never gets old and you’re pretty sure very few people are going to wear it. That’s why I’m obsessed with this fringed ruby red Thakoon ensemble. The black elements make the colour pop and give a sophisticated aura.
★★★★+
Uma Thurman in Atelier Versace
I don’t know if it’s the dress of if it’s Uma, I only know the combination of the two is just OUTSTANDING. She looked like a goddess coming from the sky to show us how mediocre we all are. It’s a pretty traditional choice for a red carpet event, and you all know I don’t really like traditional, but in this case everything is too right not to be noticed: the crisp white lights up the red carpet, the asymmetrical shape flatters the body, the draping gives lightness and elegance. I wanna be Uma Thurman, FML.

WORST DRESSED
All the celebrities condemned to hell and fire - and Sarah Jessica Parker’s outfit was definitely on topic. All the celebrities we love, after all, because they’re brave enough to wear something awful - or maybe they’re just not conscious of what they’re doing. Most of all, all the celebrities who, with their outfits, inspire the web to create the most hilarious memes of the moment. I have four special mentions for the bottom 3 list, the four outfits which were really close to gain this ambitious prize and yet they were surpassed by celebrities who literally throw themselves inside the closet to get dressed for the event: Jamie Bochert who went for a cheap hooker style, Madonna with her obsession in promoting her album, which made her choose an outfit stating REBEL HEART on the skirt (awful) and Grimes, sporting a little LEOPARD dress which you can definitely find at Primark for £9.99 and last but not least, Donatella Versace looking more and more like a a Afghan hound.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Philip Treacy hat and H&M dress
She definitely won, together with Rihanna, the most exhilarating memes of the web for their crazy over-the-top outfits. It’s not even a problem of brand - after all, we had, during the past, celebrities rocking H&M’s dresses, from Natalie Portman to the US first lady Michelle Obama - and the bizarre headpiece she’s wearing could even be defined a piece of art - after all, it’s Philip Treacy’s. No, the problem is just that this black gown is TERRIFYING. It looks like some sort of rubbish bag with litter thrown over it. I love you, Carrie, but I’ve always preferred the other three girls of the bunch.

Kerry Washington in Prada
Kerry is one of the hottest actress now and Prada is one of my favourite brands. It couldn’t go wrong. Unfortunately the stylist who worked on this look managed to create a Frankenstein from scratch. The colour is horrendous on this silhouette, everything is too much, from the embroideries, to the glossy silk, to the maxi bows on the shoulders. For every red carpet event there’s a celebrity looking like a birthday cake, and this time, I’m sorry, it was Kerry.
††††
Zendaya in custom Fausto Puglisi
Even if she didn’t make it to the memes - or at least, I haven’t seen it yet - she even managed to beat SJP. The top part is nice and sexy, but when you get to the skirt, here you have the problems. It’s sort of intimidating and frightening, looking like a UFO with mysterious signs on it and a long tale with patterns reminding of the Backgammon board. It looks heavy, old-fashioned, sort of a nice little dress turned into something suitable for a Halloween party. A cheap Halloween party.
†††††
I say goodbye to you all, but not before sharing with you the most perfect meme human mind has ever created.
