Golden Globes '11

Note to Readers:
You all know how much I love red-carpet fashion. It is fun to imagine what it would be like if you were able to choose a gown from a top designer. I wonder what I would pick. I get excited to pick out an outfit for going on a date with Ben, so I can't even imagine how excited I would be to choose a gown from a designer to walk the red carpet! I'll share with you some of my favorites and least favorites from the night. (Keep in mind I haven't actually watched the ceremony, just looked at the photos)


Note to Anne Hathaway:
I'm going to be honest with you, sometimes I do not understand your style. However... tonight I am obsessed with it!!! In my mind I like to think that Stanley Tucci picked out this Armani Prive number for you, out of the magazine fashion closet in The Devil Wears Prada. This gown is a stunning color, it has a great shape, and I love the long sleeves. I love everything about it.

Note to Claire Danes:

I almost always love your style. This Calvin Klein halter dress really showcases your pretty shoulders and teeny waist. Let's be real for a second, I can't get over your petite frame and scuplted shoulders. I haven't event noticed the dress, color, silhouette etc., I am just dying over your pretty figure. Way to flaunt what you've got in a subtle manor. (Are you taking notes Katy Perry?)

Note to Megan Fox:

If I were you I would probably just wear a bikini everywhere. If I had to put a dress on though, this Armani Prive is a good choice. I like the texture and construction of the bodice paired with the un-complicated skirt. Very pretty, very classic, and very well done.

Note to Angelina Jolie:

Have you been reading Fashion Noted? Thank you for wearing a color other than black! This Versace gown is gorgeous. I love that so many celebrities embraced something other than strapless gowns. I hear I need to see The Tourist for our wardrobe alone, and I think I may have to do just that.

Note to Emma Stone:

This is hard for me because I love you. Seriously, I watched Easy A on my flight to Hawaii and then I watched it again on the way back. So please keep in mind, this is hard for me to write. This Calvin Klein dress is definitely not your best look. The dress is not supposed to match your bronzer. If it were in another color I think it could be a really nice minimalistic look on you, but the color is all wrong. Don't hate me?

Note to Halle Berry:

We get it. You are pretty, you have a great body, beautiful skin, don't even need hair to look pretty. I know you don't need an amazing dress to look amazing, but this look is putting me to sleep. Did you get it out of Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie's closet? Sorry, that was kind of mean. I would still die to look like you, but I have seen you in some gorgeous gowns and this one is a little bit of a snoozer.

Note to Readers:

Who do you think shined on the Golden Globes red carpet? I would love to hear your opinions.

This is taking it too far...

Note to Diane Kruger:

Usually I like your red carpet choices. Remember when I raved about you here? You wear clothing well and you have a unique sense of style. Not Lady Gaga unique, but unique in a way that you will wear fashion forward pieces from the top designers without a misstep. Except for this Versace beaded number. I guess you can't be right all the time.

Note to Readers:

There are a few things I love and one of them is a TASTEFUL backless dress. I think a woman showing a toned back can be so much more sexy than a plunging neckline. I thought it went without saying that if you can see the wearer's crack, the dress has gone too far. Apparently not.

Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Note to Readers:

The Met Costume Institute Gala is THE night for fashion. I anxiously await it each year, and I love seeing what everyone decides to wear. I know I feel that way about a lot of awards shows, but this event is strictly about fashion. Let me put it this way, if I could score an invitation to any event EVER, it would be this one. The guest list is star-studded, with real celebrities (that means they keep riff-raff like Speidi out). Think Gisele and Tom, Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, etc.

Throughout the week, I am going to post about whom I loved and whom I loathed-- and a few people in between.

As always, thanks for reading. J'adore you all.

Note to Rhianna:
I know you have had a really rough time lately, so I am not going to comment on your choice of a Dolce and Gabbana puffed-sleeve tuxedo.

I'll just say when Zac Posen has dressed you, I liked the results much better.

Note to Diane Kruger:

I LOVE your Chanel mini-dress. I think accessorizing it with black was a chic choice, and kept the look more formal than if you accessorized with a bright color. Some may have a problem that you wore a short dress, but with all of the other craziness on the red carpet, I think they need to pick their battles more carefully. I think you look pretty, fresh faced, and let's be honest you have amazing legs, why not let them have a little time in the spotlight?

Note to the Newlyweds:

Speaking of legs...

Gisele (wearing a Versace dress), it really isn't fair for you to have amazing legs, enviable hair, such a killer bod, and your husband's not too bad either. You two could probably wear jeans and t-shirts and still be among the best-dressed people at the event.

Oscar Report: Marissa Tomei

Note to Marissa Tomei:

Wow. You looked stunning at Sunday's award ceremony. This Versace gown looked like it was made just for you, and maybe it was. The fit of the dress is amazing on you, and compliments your fabulous figure. I have read a few complaints about the train being too fussy, but I personally love it. It brings in the trend of architectural and geometric shapes, without you looking like a piece of origami. Honestly, I love your entire look, you were one of my favorites from the night.
