Golden Globes - The Ginger Review
So the 2013 Golden Globe Awards have happened and I have had a look at all the dresses. Obviously I have an opinion so I figured I may as well do my own Fashion Review!
I will be placing a selection of women into 4 categories based on their dresses and overall look. Here are the categories :
1. Well Done !
2. Confusing ...
3. Fail
4. My number 1 Red Carpet Look
So here it goes !! Total amount of dresses I have selected to place: 10
1st up we have the " Well Done " Category
This year I like quite a few dresses! Shock !
I noticed, as I was browsing, that many dresses look a little bridal ... now I don't like most of those because I don't think you should go to the Golden Globes looking like a desperate wannabe bride but I think 2 ladies got it right.
Their dresses were gorgeous and not too bridal. In fact you may not see the bridal theme in these dresses at all now that I've taken them out of context ...
....So congratulations to Lea Michele and Jennifer Lopez who got it right, Well done!
Elie Saab dress.
Love it ! Like the shape, nice and young with the halter neck.
DON'T like the shoe .... too complicated.
Hair is ok, I would have gone for an up- do myself .
But the dress is really gorgeous don't you think??
WELL DONE!
Zuhair Murad dress.
Love it ! So elegant, works perfect on her body.
Not sure about the one sided hair though ... but JLO I forgive you because you look amazing as always.
WELL DONE!
Stepping away from the bridal theme I have 3 more looks that I believe deserve to be in the "Well Done" Category.
Versace dress.
Love it ! She has a unique style that suits her and she runs with it ... WERK ! The sleeves and neckline are Fabulous.
Love the hair and red lip to match the red lip handbag that I would personally never wear but werks for her.
Great simple shoe.
WELL DONE !
Glenn Close
Zac Posen Dress
She is stealing the show !
So classy and so elegant in navy.
Gorgeous dress with bolero to match.
Great hair and earrings ! Nothing to fault .
WELL DONE!
Chanel Dress
Timeless Classic as always- Chanel .
Great with the short hair. I think she looks like a perfume bottle but it works !
WELL DONE !
Moving on and stepping into the "Confusing ... " Category
Carolina Herrera Dress
This looks like Sissi gone wrong (Empress of Austria 1837)
They made a Movie about her life that I use to watch when I was little and she whore a gorgeous blue flower gown to the ball !
Looks like bad wall paper as a dress ?
I like ... the pockets... the shape ... the hair BUT what is up with this huge floral print and colour scheme ??
I'm pretty sure she was aiming for gold but ultimately she WILL regret this because it's ...
CONFUSING ...
Halle Berry
Atelier Versace Dress
You look hot, i'll give you that but what's up with the map on the dress?
The colour scheme mixed with the one shoulder/ leg exposure makes it look like a summer beach dress. Too much skin ...
Like the shoe.
Again she looks hot but it's not because of the dress it's because she is Halle Berry and all in all this dress on a red carpet is...
CONFUSING ...
Entering the 3rd Category : Fail
Erdem dress
Toilet paper papier maché dress.
Looks like some bits are falling off of it too ... not impressed.
FAIL
Vera Wang dress
Too big. Looks like it's going to fall off.
Is it a Halloween Princess dress? Very depressing colour and motif.
Again too big
Hair down and behind your ears ?????? Come on !!
FAIL
FINALLY ON TO THE LAST CATEGORY :
MY NUMBER 1 RED CARPET LOOK
This dress is AMAZING. As far as I'm concerned this is how you walk down the red carpet of the Golden Globes and OWN IT !!
Dior Haute Couture Ball Gown
OMG ! It's sooooo gorgeous.
The colour is strong and powerful. The belt is small and metallic and gives the dress just a touch of "young edge" .
Love the top of the dress and the way it only goes out at the hip rather then at the waist.
Great Hair! Jewellery small and discreet.
Looks like she is wearing perfectly matched shoes ....
Check it out from another angle:
*WOW*
DEFINITELY MY NUMBER 1
Dior Haute Couture
The End !
Much love and shoes,
à bientôt,
Mlle Ginger
Enjoyed reading this :)
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the J-lo and the Jennifer Lawrence.
