Golden Globe Awards 2013

Heidi hasn't looked so good in quite a while. Her Alexander Vauthier was flawlessly styled with Lorraine Schwartz jewels, Louboutin pumps and side swept golden tresses.

While the Elie Saab dress made for a lovely choice, the overdone fake tan didn't. It was even more obvious due to the white color of the dress.

I am loving this Givenchy look from Amanda Seyfried, particularly because of the little pin at the neckline, which looked like a little mini bow tie to me. The dress was absolutely dreamy and she looked au naturally stunning.

Anne went with a minimalistic Chanel for the night, While it does look nice, kind of felt something was missing with this look.

Megan Fox flaunted her post baby figure in a form fitting nude DOlce & Gabanna dress, showing off her back tattoo. It made for a flattering but rather boring choice for the former Transformers star.

The gold lady was Emily Blunt in Michael Kors. Just love this look with the top knot and ruby red studs. Can't find any other word but, Pefect!!

Sporting an interesting color and clutch was Jessica Alba in Oscar de la Renta. While the hair, necklace, dress and make up were perfect, the furry clutch made for a tacky accessory.

Now we know she's sexy. We know that she got one of the best if not the best bod in the business, but it doesn't mean she has to show it every time.  The skin baring Atelier Verscae was gorgeous, but the skin show is getting to be a routine with a Halle Berry.

I love the deep red Vivienne Westwood on Jennifer Garner. However, the tussled up do looked messy, perhaps something sleeker would've elevated the look more.

Tabu made her first walk down the Golden Globes red carpet in a red and gold Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla saree, The saree was elegant and definitely in theme of the event.

Known for flaunting her cleavage on the red carpet, Kate did just that in Alexander McQueen. I just love this dress with its statement gold embellishments, and the perfect flow and fit.

Kate Hudson in Alexander McQueen

I must say my favorite part of Amy Adams' look was her hair but her hair wasn't one to miss either. She was practically angelic in her blush Machesa.

Amy Adams in Marchesa

Julianne pulled off a risque look, by combining a fairy tale ball gown dress with punk rock hair and make up. Was this and homage to her movie Rock of Ages, I wonder. Whatever the inspiration, it worked fiercely!

Julianne Hough in Monique Lhuillier

Another best dress nominee was definitely Michelle Dokery who kept it elegant and classy in a gold  and white Alexander Vauthier dress. The stunning dress was complimented by the equally stunning waves.

Clooney was suave in his tux and with the best accessory in hand, his girlfriend Stacy Kiebler. Meanwhile, Stacy was sleek in a black Armani.

Now this is one handsome couple. Arriving arm in arm was Mr. Bond, Daniel Craig in TOm Ford and Rachel Weisz in Louis Vuitton. While I'm not usually a fan of peek a boo legs at the golden globe, this somehow works. I especially love the hair. As for Daniel Craig, who wears a tux better that Bond.

In a classic Dior silhouette, Jennifer Lawrence held her award proudly. My only problem with the dress was the fact that it was a tiny bit wrinkled at the bottom. Then again it is taffeta,so I'd give her a break.

Seeing Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad was no surprise, especially since one of her best red carpet looks was by Zuhair Murad. Jennifer, never afraid of showing her curves, did it yet again with a lace dress, featuring a nude lining for a barely there effect.

I just gotta say "Welcome Back, Nicole Kidman!. The fashion world have missed you" After a series o f appearance in not so impressive ensemble, she turned heads in her Alexander McQueen dress. Definitely a best dress nominee.

Nicole Kidman (in Alexander McQueen) and Keith Urban

Hayden had possibly the biggest smile on the red carpet, wearing a white Roberto Cavalli. While its a beautiful look, I wished she experimented a little. This seems like too save a bet.

Hayden Pettiniere in Roberto Cavalli

Seing Adele in a black Burberry dress was no surprise and neither was her puffed up do, but then again it is her signature look.

Jessica was attracted to the pastel mint color of her Calvin Klein gown and so am I but the hair not so much. It looked like her hair was thinning.

Jessica Chastain in Calvin Klein

Possibly one of the most head turning looks of the might for Katherine McPhee's in Theyskens' Theory. She said in the interview with E! that she wanted to do sexy this year. Well, she definitely nailed it! The plunging neckline, the teasing slit and pefect hair and make-up. Va-va-voom!

Katherine McPhee in Theyskens' Theory

Odd length is one thing I really dislike, especially at the Golden Globes red carpet.Kerry Washington's Miu Miu dress was gorgeous, with the exception of the length, which ruined the look for me. Les than an inch more length would have made this dress a winner.

Kerry Washington in Miu Miu

Marion was sweet in a vermillion number by Christian Dior, but it was just a tad bit too casual for the Globes in my opinion.

Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior

I can only see one thing..., well make that two things Sarah is flauntin with this Max Azria dress. She could have done so much better than this dress in my opinion.

Sarah Hyland in Max Azria

A risk taker when it comes to fashion, Sienna went for a skirt and crop top by Erdem. The mod look might not be for everyone, but she does make it work.

Sienna Miller in Erdem

Sofia was lady in black in Michael CInco. Its quite obvious she loves her curves and this was one great way to show them off.

Sofia Vergara in Michael Cinco

The New Girl was all smiles in her Oscar de la Renta, To complete her look was Louboutin clutch, Kwiat pearls and Casadei pumps. While the dress is gorgeous, I can't help but notice its very similar to Jennifer Lawrence's Dior, and she pulled it of better.

Zoey Deschannel in Oscar de la Renta

With this red hot Versace she had on, who would believe that she just delivered a baby last month. The plunging neckline, the perfect drape at the waist and the drop earrings, gorgeous!

Claire Danes in Versace

Robert Pattinson (minus a certain Kristen) was lean and mean in his signature Gucci suit. Sometimes here is nothing better than a classic black and white, especially when fitted so perfectly.

A few years ago, we might not have predicted that Ben Affleck would be one of the biggest stars at the Golden Globe winning Best Director and Best Picture, and look good winning them in his tux.

Ben Affleck

Hugh was all smiles in his Louie Vuitton suit, embellished with Harry Winston cuffs. The Les Miserables star looked anything but miserable in this look.

Hugh Jackman in Louis Vuitton

Another perfectly tailored tux from Tom Ford, worn by the perfectly handsome man, Bradley Cooper.

Bradley Cooper in Tom Ford

While Liev looked dashing in Calvin Klein, Naomi covered in up in Zac Posen and looked red hot.

Liev Schreiber (in Calvin Klein) and Naomi Watts (in Zac Posen)

Lucy Liu Carolina Herra was one of the most interesting choices of the evening. A side braid to compliment the floral design and she was red carpet ready!

Lucy Liu in Carolina Herrera

Tom Ford was definitely the big winner this year with the  hot leading mean choosing to wear his tux to the globes and looking like a million bucks in therm, including Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leonardo Dicaprio in Tom Ford

Not just everyone gets to call up Tom Ford and get him to design a custom gown, but Julianne are one of the luck few who gets to do exactly that. And the result, was modern and bold black and white gown. She adorned it with chandelier earrings, stack of gold bangles and cltch. To me, the bangles were better omitted, it looked a bit much with the long sleeves.

Julianne Moore in Tom Ford

While I love women's tux, the pants length and heels on this look threw me off. The plunging neckline and bling however was a win.

Amy Poehler

Seeing Taylor in a deep plum gown (minus red lips) was a pleasant surprise. What;s even better better was the minimal accessory and bare back of the dress.

Taylor Swift in DOnna Karan

19th Colors Screen Awards

Yami was all smile for the shutterbugs, wearing a snake skin printed Carmen Marc Valvo. While I'm usually a fan of her red carpet appearance, this one is a not quite. I don't like the blousing effect of the dress most of all. Love those oversized studs though.

Yami Gupta in Carmen Marc Valvo

Priyanka skipped the red carpet, but we caught up with her wearing a black Roberto Cavalli number. I love the dress and jewelry, but not loving the bangs. Without the bangs, would've been a gorgeous braided updo minus the bangs.

Priyanka Chopra in Roberto Cavalli


Jacqueline was one to do traditional at the red carpet. She was in a traditional Sri Lankan saree, which I absolutely adore on her. It may be a bit much for some, but she definitely pulled it off. The styling of pulling her hair it a sophisticated updo was definitely a good call.

Jacqueline Fernandez

Sonali was beautiful in Shahab durazi at the event. Wasn't feeling the hairstyle one bit though.

Sonali Bendre in Shahab Durazi

A leaner Abhishek walked the carpet in a 3 piece suit paired with white shirt and red tie. I wish he went with a skinny tie instead, but the man looked good anyways, giving the velvet jacket a break.

Abhishek Bachchan

Genelia did another black, but it was no dissapointment. She was in Roberto Cavalli with a couple of studs and of course hubby, Riteish in arm. Riteish was in a black suit with blue lapels and skinny tie. Glad to see the splash of color.

Genelia D'Souza (in Roberto Cavalli) and Riteish Deshmukh

Vidya Balan was in a Kanjivaram saree with a post-marital glow. She accessorized with traditional Kanjivaram jewelry, a bindi and of course, her sindoor.

Vidya Balan

Neha Dhupia doesn't dissapoint when it comes to the red carpet. Wearing a Nupur Kanoi dress, accessorinzed with oversized studs and smoky eyes, she looked fierce!

Neha Dhupia in Nupur Kanoi

Always looking good in a suit, Arjun Rampal hit another home run with this appearance. I just wished he had brought a pop of color with the tie.

Arjun Rampal

Cavalli was a big hit at the carpet, with a third beauty wearing it, that is Chitrangada Singh. I'm in love with this look. It so sexy with the nude corseted dress and red lips and gold studs.

Chitrangada Singh in Roberto Cavalli

Arjun had her sister in arms at the red carpet. He was one of the few who did anything other than black amongst the men. I love the Burberry suit on him.

Arjun Kapoor in Burberry

Not quite sure who she's wearing, but this is not a good look on her. The skin baring lehenga wasn't red carpet worthy at all. Only thing I like were the sleeves of the blouse.

Mughda Godse

It was a surprise to see a subtle look from Ameesha, but it was definitely a good surprise. I think this Ramona Narang dress is possibly the best fashion choice she has ever made. Especially love the ruby necklace! The low point here however was the sheerness of the dress, which unfortunately exposed her nipples, due to the camera flashes.

Ameesha Patel in Ramona Narang

Shruti have had her moments in fashion, but this was not one of it. While I love the red lips and voluminous hair, the ill fitting purple Amit GT gown wasn't one to impress.

Shruti Hassan in Amit GT

Neetu have had a good run with sarees, but this one dissapoints. The blue Archana Kochhar was just too busy, despite the lovely color shade.

Neetu Chandra in Archana Kochhar

Malaika was all about flaunting her bare back at the carpet. While Malaika seemed to be loving herself in it, I can't help but to disagree. The skin tight lace dress looked tacky to be, like something a much younger girl would wear to a club. Not impressed!

 
Malaika Arora Khan

The threesome who debut together in 'Student of the Year' posed together for the shutterbugs. While Varun was looking dapper in a navy suit, Alia upped her fashion game with an edgy gold number from Gaurav Gupta and Siddharth showed guys how to make a black suit with white lapel looked nothing like a waiter's uniform.

Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt (in Gaurav Gupta) and Siddharth Malhotra

It was Naeem Khan for Katrina that night. While I love the gown and she does look va-va-voom in it, I wished she went for a loose bun, instead of the same ol' hair.

Katrina Kaif in Naeem Khan

Deepika was seen sporting a Farah Fawcett-esque do at the event with bronze make up, while wearing a teasing Dolce & Gabanna gown. She looked absolutely sensuous!

Deepika Padukone in Dolce & Gabanna

While we like  thing out of the ordinary sometimes on the red carpet, this was not one of those times. Minissha went for a Neeta Lulla for the event. while it could have been a win, the length of the dress and her choice of shoes murdered it for me. I do love the earrings though. And must add, that this outfit is definitely a step up for Minissha.

Minissha Lamba in Neeta Lulla

While this Gauri and Nainika gown might be a bit too bridal, I love it nonetheless. The styling of the updo and red lips also elevated the look for Aditi.

Aditi Rao Hydari in Gauri and Nainika

Parineeti's choice was interesting and the Sabyasachi skirt was gorgeous, but the black pocketed shirt didn't work. Perhaps a plain boat neck black top would've work much better.

Parineeti Chopra in Sabyasachi

Ayushmann was in his signature style, but what I love was the choice of colors, with the copper suit paired with a bright blue shirt and light blue bow tie. Very nice!

Ayushmann Khurana

Amitabh Bachchan was semi formal with dark blue pants, paired with light green shirt and a white jacket. To top off was his signature glasses. Love the color play on this one.

Amitabh Bachchan

Sunny was in the mood for elegance it seems when she wore this white number. While the whole look could've been a winning one, I'm just not feeling the flowers beading work. The dress would've done better without it.

Sunny Leone

We love the fact that Sonakshi was bold enough to experiment with this elaborated Falguni and Shane dress, but it didn't quite pay off, unfortunately. I personally feel that the gold at the neck could've been omitted and it would make a much nicer look. I do like the look otherwise, especially the intricate do  and double slit at the front.
