Indulging in the golden glow of Hollywood
A few times a year, the regular people of the world gather with the common goal of watching the stars of Hollywood rise and fall in accordance with their award show outfit choices.
Award showseason is in full swing, and this year the stars upped the sparkle and hair as they strutted across the red carpet before the Golden Globe award ceremonies.
Before Saturday Night Live alums Tina Fey and Amy Poehler got a chance to host the awards, the stars competed for the best-dressed award.
Aside from the big hair and bigsequins, many starssparingly passed when it came to avoiding theover-made. Hayden Panettiere who was nominated for best supportingactress for her new series
Nashville joined Amy Adams and Isla Fischer inchoosing neutral-colored dresses.
Golden Globespresenter Megan Fox turned quite a few heads as she showed off her
post-baby body in a tight fitting Dolce and Gabbana blush dress. She kept it simple as she told Ryan Seacrest Its tight. Its lacy. Thats all there is to it.
Nominated for her songSkyfall, Adele also made her first
appearance since having a baby. She didnt stray too far from her typical black, floor-length gown.
One of the favoritenominees of the evening wasJennifer Lawrence for Silver LiningsPlaybook, who may have seemed a
little less Hunger Games and asurprising level of classy, in her bright red-oraange, strapless, belted A-line Dior Haute Couture dress.
Zooey Deschanel was also able to don the color of the carpet in her Oscar de la Renta strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline. True to her unique sense of style,Deschanel also sported some film camera nail art and a simple ponytail.
Another popular color of this Golden Globe award show waseggplant, which was taken in two different directions by two vastlydifferent stars.
Girls star Lena Dunham chose to rock a short hairstyle and anoff-the-shoulder Zac Posen dress, while Taylor Swift looked elegant in a high-necked Donna Karan gown.
While the red carpet wasmostly divided between neutral dresses and bright, colorful pieces, Lucy Liu stepped out in a CarolinaHerrera floral gown. The dress was fun and original, serving as arefreshing change of pace for all couch viewers.
