The Right Wings of Fashion
Conservatism was the theme of the night as most of the stars wore black. Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Garner, Diane Lane, and Uma Thurman all wore simple and classic designs from Valentino, Dior, Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan. Even Jennifer Aniston, who hobbled in right before the show started (her foot was in a cast), was attired in a snappy black suit with an equally snappy black cane. These ladies looked lovely, but their choices were a bit more Oscar worthy than what is usually worn at the Golden Globes. The only actress who had the best excuse in the world to wear black was Catherine Zeta-Jones who is pregnant with her second child. It makes sense that since Catherine is up for an Oscar nomination for playing the sultry Velma Kelly in "Chicago" she still wants to glam it up without drawing attention to her mid-section. Nicole Kidman didn't wear black, but she still didn't show off her usual fashion prowess with her gray Yves Saint Laurent gown. It had a hint of daring with the flamenco style skirt, but the color was not very inspiring. Had the color been a bright yellow, a deep purple or a flaming red it really would have been a sensation. And speaking of red...
The Ladies in Red...
This is my favorite color so I tend to show favoritism towards anyone who wears it and what a color it is! It is eye-catching, exotic, erotic and any other word that describes visual excitement. No matter where you are if you are wearing this color you will be noticed. I noticed it on four great ladies: Lisa Kudrow, Kim Cattrall, Susan Sarandon and Selma Hayek. Each dress was designed beautifully and each actress wore their dress with a great deal of confidence. They looked good, they stood out and they drew attention to themselves which is exactly what you are supposed to do at these award shows. I give these ladies a great deal of credit for daring to wear red and loving every minute of it.
