Award Season Begins!

I love award season. I mean I really LOVE award season. Although I should love it for the award ceremony, I have a different motive for watching every award show. Well, I should say every pre-show. I watch every single red carpet event because I am obsessed with seeing who is wearing what. I am really wanting to be a stylist and fashion is what I live for.
Here is what I noticed from the Golden Globes. This year was all about the color purple, the color black, lots of ruffles, and trying to stay dry. My favorite of the night was definitely Marion Cotillard. She looked absolutely stunning in her Christian Dior gown. I also thought Penelope Cruz looked beautiful in her Giorgio Armani Prive gown. Now although Mariah Carey and Halle Berry both had their own Golden Globes out for everyone to see last night, I thought they both looked very beautiful. Halle especially looked amazing in her dress, and to be honest, until looking back through photos today, I hadn't even noticed how plunging the neckline was on her dress. Mariah on the other hand, I had a hard time focusing on anything but her boobs when I was watching the red carpet. Having said that, after looking at photos, the dress itself is very pretty and on trend. I loved the cap-sleeve gowns that were all over the red carpet last night.
One dress I thought was beautiful but completely the wrong color was worn by Christina Hendricks. Christian Siriano designed the dress specifically for her, which leaves me to wonder whether maybe the color looked better in person because she looked very pink in that dress on the red carpet. When you have red hair, you have to be very careful what you wear. I know first hand because my husband is a red head and when I buy for him, I always have to think of what colors will work. My least favorite dress of the entire night was worn by Kate Hudson. I thought she looked like she was wrapped in fondant and the feathers coming out the top were just too much. The color was right for her, and I get that it is fashion forward and I appreciate that she took a risk, but taking a risk just for the sake of it isn't always the way to go. I do usually love Marchesa gowns, but this one is better left on the runway.
I will be blogging about every award show this season and look forward to watching all of the red carpet events!
