GOLDEN GLOBES

There are many big fashion events over the course of one year, but nothing brings out the best in everyone like a red carpet event! This year, starlets dazzled us with decadent colors, glamorous bangles, and surprisingly chic headbands!

This round at the golden globes, it appears that most designers wear a slightly sophisticated shade of bright colors (midnight blue, dark emerald green, Fuchsia, cream, and royal purple) with no patterns. Instead, textures and creative seam lines break up the large blocks of color. The dresses this year are also creating fascinating conteours for our hollywood starlets. Angelina goes with a beautiful form hugging cream gown that reminds us of the glamorous 30's, while Tina Fey and Sofia verger go with the hip hugging mermaid dress. Even young Ariel Winter is wearing a slightly off bell shape on her dress. An intriguing length for all the starlets.

Angelina Jolie swept the carpet up with her bold classic look. She wore a cream form-fitting Atelier Versace gown with a red collar, a tight bun, and bright red lipstick. As for her jewelry accessory, she paired her striking outfit with something simple and faint. Just a touch of glimmer. Smart move to put the jewelry in second place here. Her outfit wasn't exactly loud, but it commanded a lot of attention and aristocracy, something gaudy jewelry would have detracted from.

Sofia Vergara (Gloria in Modern Family) wore an impressive midnight blue mermaid dress by Vera Wang. This woman has an incredible body, and has the ability to wear the dress to show that off! Despite leaving her shoulders and neck bare, she wore a small collection of Harry Winston's Jewelry (two glittering diamond cuff bracelets, two rings, and stud earrings), totaling 5 million dollars


Vintage jewelry also made an appearance at the Golden Globes with Charlize Theron, who wore a vintage Cartier headband to emphasize her flowing 30's look. Tilda Swinton also had some vintage pieces, but more on that later!

As far as jewelry designers go, Lorraine Schwartz seems to be reeling them in this year! Bangles for Elle Macpherson, a jewelry set for Lea Michele, a necklace for Heidi Klum - the list keeps going!  However, our two favorites of the evening go out to Lea Michele (Rachel on Glee), and Tilda Swinton!

Lea Michele came out in a show stopping scalloped feather number. A scandalously sheer top embroidered with black, white, and grey feathers could have been a disaster, but Miss Michele looked stunning! The classic contour helped to keep this dress grounded. Her choice of earrings were perfect. The shape of the earrings themselves accented the forms in her hair and dress. She also featured a green emerald ring (to detract from the black and white ensemble), and some beautiful diamond bracelets.

Tilda Swiinton's has a knack for being slightly androgens. From her roles like Orlando and Archangel Gabriel, to her fashion sense, she has always favored suit tops and trousers. However, she always wore them with the utmost femininity. This year at the Golden Globes was no different. She wore her designer friend Haider Ackermann's Skirt Suit. Tilda Swilton was bold, glamorous, and fierce in her perfectly tailored suit and dress.

To offset her icy look, she wore beautiful floral 18K gold coil cuff bracelets by Fred Leighton. Each one was set with sapphire and 1940's rose cut diamonds. Fred Leighton had also done a few of the other star's pieces, including Julianne Moore's emerald dangle earrings (the perfect pair for a deep redhead).
