Throw me in the water, don't think about the splash I will create

I could do a run down of the Golden Globe dresses but, it would just be the same as we've seen on every other blog: Emma Stone - good. Sarah Jessica Parker - bad.

What did interest me though was Piper Perabo.
Piper, to me, made the single most inspiring and unique choice on the red carpet.
She chose Olivier Theysken.
Theyskens' Theory has never exactly screamed red carpet. 
It's cool. 
It's quirky.
It could have been a hit.
She did it all wrong.

Firstly, her height
Now, I know there is not much she can do about it but, her stylist should have realised, or at least whoever over at Theyskens' Theory who sent this as an option, should have specified that it should only be given to the 5'10ers, the Blake Livelys and Elle MacPhersons of the world. 
She could have remedied her height however...
Which brings me to...
 Secondly, her shoes
I know they are Louboutin but that doesn't make them okay.
She should have not worn peep toes. She should have painted her toenails. She should not be DAMAGING LOUBOUTINS by standing on them SIDEWAYS. They should not be silver. They should be at least two inches higher.
The look like glass slippers which brings me to...
Thirdly, her hair
This dress is very urban Cinderella. 
Cinderella was blonde.
For this to work you need an Emma Stone or a Jessica Biel. Ginger or brunette. 
Jessica Alba wore the Little Mermaid dress. Jessica Alba is not a redhead. THAT is why it worked! Well, it was also a nice dress but, in this instance I'm putting it down to her hair.
I just noticed that cuff. 
That too, is wrong.
Maybe that's why the blonde didn't work. The pretty diamonds didn't exactly juxtapose the fairytale gown.
But, there is something even more wrong that her jewellery.
Which brings me to...
Fourthly, her posing
What IS that?
She gives Lea Michele a run for her money.
Anyone who watched Live from the Red Carpet on E! will know that, that is saying something.

In short, Great dress + Wrong star + Bad styling + Possibly the wrong event = Worst Dressed List

Great Dress + Christina Ricci/ Chloe Sevingy/ a Fanning sister/ Jessica Szohr/ anyone remotely cool + Charles Anastase shoes and Lanvin jewellery  + the MET Ball = Best Dressed List.

You're my army, you're my troops

Golden Globes action.
Kind of unimpressive but there were a few gems.
The entire Glee cast need a stylist.

Best

Anne Hathaway, wow just wow. Finally majorly impressed by Emma Stone. Leighton is elegant and stunning. Clare Danes looks classic, simple and striking.
Hate to say it but Angelina looks amazing. Barely recognised Sandra Bullock but that dress is beautiful. Scarlet is as expected, annoyingly pretty.

Fair to Middlin' Sure

The problem here was mainly that, despite the beautiful dresses, there was just something not quite right. Mila and her Jedward hair reminded me a little of this lady. JLo looked stunning as ever, but I don't know my head was in a mental debate over the shawled top. Olivia Wilde sparkling gown and girl next door hair, why? Zeta Jones, beautiful truly. I just couldn't give it a best. I think that's because it kind of looked like a paper maché project she had her kids do.

Worst


Halle, no. Natalie, why? January, I get the Mad men thing, but that hairstyle with the oh so booby dress? Really? Michelle, my granny would like her tablecloth back.
Xtina, I really like the bottom of that dress but you look like a ho' fo' sho'. When velvet goes bad ladies. Kelly, I really, really don't get it.
