Golden Globe Dresses 2009

Oh award shows, I know you guys like to think that you're so important honoring the great actors, actresses, and animated characters of the year, but award shows don't really make interesting tv. On the other hand, award show dresses make great internet search material. For every red carpet event, there are dresses we ooo and ahh over, and there are those that we cringe over.

The Best Dressed

Kate Beckinsale was floating on the red carpet with this divinely structured gown. Absolutely loved it. Simple but elegant.


Evan Rachel Wood's dress was my favorite. Her gown was so intricate with ruffles, sequins, and tulle, but black kept it from looking too busy.


From first glance, I knew this dress was Versace and one of the most beautiful I've seen. January Jones pulls the Hollywood glamour look together with flowing blonde locks.

If Jones represents old Hollywood, then Kristin Scott Thomas represents old Paris. Her Lanvin dress is Parisian chic, and make her look absolutely charming.

Rumer Willis is Miss Golden Globes 2009. It's nice to see someone wearing rich vibrant colors especially paired with that flaming red hair. The pleats are an elegant touch. Not my favorite but I really liked it.

The Worst Dressed

The bad thing about sheer fabric covering the entire top half of your body is that your bra will most definitely be seen. On the other hand, without the sheer panel, she would be wearing a boring black dress. I'm just glad she didn't decide to go braless.

More Commentary

Christina Applegate really looks like Belle of Beauty and the Beast. Give her a tiara and send her to Disneyland.

Gosh darn cute couple.

Oh Drew, I would have loved to put you in my best dressed list. The dress you are wearing is so lovely. Sheer steely-blue fabric that swirls around you evokes images of a tempest storm. Unfortunately, your hair also evokes images of a tempest storm.
