Red Carpet Recap

Here's the truth: I have one week to get everything I (we) own packed into cardboard boxes and be ready to move our life to Chicago. I'm feeling a little bit in the weeds at this point. There's still a lot to do. A lot, a lot.  But, it's important - yes, I said important - to me to take a few minutes to recap last night's affair. The 2o12 Golden Globes are in the books and I was not disappointed by many of the fantastic looks that paraded up and down the red carpet.

Last night's fashion can be summed up in a few fun trends.

The Mermaid Silhouette

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang

The Plunging Neckline
Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci

The Peplum
Madeleine Stowe in Vera Wang

Navy Blue
Michelle Williams in Jason Wu

And any combination of those could be found on a number of beautiful ladies.
I'm talking to you, Evan Rachel Wood.

The plunging neckline & mermaid silhouette of her Gucci gown were perfectly on trend and perfectly gorgeous.

And now to my favorites of the evening: 

In my book, Emma Stone can do no wrong. Last night she wowed me in Lanvin.

Natalie Portman was rocking the red and pink that someone mentioned earlier this Fall. Her Lanvin gown made me oooh and ahhhhh. And if you follow me on Twitter you know, that when I grow up I want to look just like her (even though I'm pretty sure she's younger than me).


Claire Danes' J. Mendel was my favorite of the night from the back. Just lovely.

But my favoritest Favorite of the night was
Charlize Theron in Dior. She was drop dead gorgeous.

Alright, your turn! Who did I miss?

... and now, I'm back to packing. Or watching the Bachelor. Or pretending I'm packing while watching the Bachelor.
