I would like to apologize for the blogging road block that I hit last week. I was coming into New York from a little town in the middle of nowhere and somewhere between the Meatpacking and my computer I got a little lost. Alright, I started a new job and I suppose you could say that I lost sight of Combustion and moved onto bigger and better things. But then that would be considered lying because I thought about blogging the entire time, but we all know what happens when I begin thinking! Enough about me, let's move on to that thing that happens every year, ahh yes, the Golden Globe Awards. This wasn't just any Golden Globe Awards, it was the rockin', slammin', rollin' and bangin' 70th year anniversary. Let's see what these stars brought to the carpet this year.
First up to bat we have the one and only Kate Hudson. Her dress by Alexander McQueen and jewels by Jennifer Meyer. Black was her color for the night because I don't think anyone else wore it better. Simplicity ruled the entire outfit until we reached her neckline, then the golden fireworks went off. A little belt to match and a keyhole the size of China and we are all set.
Safe at first base we have Jennifer Lawrence from the Hunger Games. She was wearing Christian Dior Haute Couture, a ravishing Salvatore Ferragamo clutch and Chopard jewelry to beat the band. Looks like simplicity was her goal, as well. This fire red dress (must be carrying on the Hunger Games theme), although stunning, wasn't what caught my eye. If you look closely, the matching between her makeup and the shiny black belt really added a great touch. You did good, Lawrence, you did good.
Taking a lead at second base is the stunning Naomi Watts in a lovely burgundy dress by Zac Posen, a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. The open back was a great feature to this dress especially when the addition of a long train is added. It makes the back the center piece, the main attraction, the point of its existence (you catch my drift). Watt's slender figure was also a leading cause in making this dress really show its true form.
Rounding third base is Anne Hathaway in Chanel Haute Couture and Chanel Fine Jewelry. Well, looks like Lagerfeld was her designer of choice for this Golden Globes. Again with the simplicity, it just seems to be a reoccurring theme during this award ceremony. This white two piece gown has a little flare to the bottom. I was having a hard time deciding if this was a flare or slight mermaid and I came to the flare conclusion. I mean let's be real, Hathaway isn't flipping down the carpet like Ariel. She is gracefully gliding. Also, one last thing, the little flare that we see at the bottom of the gown is also reflected in the bodice of the top half of the gown. So, we couldn't possibly call it a mermaid because I do not approve of the mermaid top matching the mermaid bottom. So, that's finished.
Sliding into home plate is Sienna Miller in Erdem. After gazing at this gown I came to the conclusion that I actually really like this piece. Why? Well, because it's so different than the simplicity that all the other stars brought to the carpet. It jumps out at you but not so much that you think it's strange but just enough for you to keep starring. The juxtaposition between the white and neon-ish colored flowered space is perfect and the high neckline and slit up the back is classy. Happily, the slit isn't like some of the other's I have seen, you know, the ones where the butt crack is doomed to slip out of the bottom at any minute? She stayed classy and it suited her.
These woman all make a wonderful team, wouldn't you say? Please, don't wonder or ask me why I am referring these exceptionally stunning women to baseball terminology, but I did. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I was infatuated with my college baseball team, so get that right out of your head.
I am back in action, sorry I took the past week and a half off!
Ciao,
Annie
