You're Boring Me.

        The 2010 Golden Globes have come and gone. Some lucky nominees went home with the gold, some returned empty handed. I could care less who won what, because who cares if you're empty handed when you're wearing a better dress? 
      Unfortunately, I was put to sleep by the dresses this year. Strapless, strapless, strapless/sweetheart, long, long, long. The same thing over and over again. Most dresses actually have exact replicas hanging in prom boutiques all over the country that have been worn to proms for the past five years. Starlets, with all the money and the world's most amazing designers at your disposal, why would you show up to the Golden Globes in a dress that belongs at a midwest prom?

All gorgeous women, all fabulous designers, all boring dresses.
Look at all those dresses in a line. All strapless, some sweetheart, all grazing the hips and thighs being sure to hit the ground. Some have some extra straps or embellishments but all are basically the same. The color that stuck out the most was the red carpet because the colors of the dresses were just another bore.

Where's her corsage?





         Fergie who is usually too fabulous for words, went with a drab potato sack dress by Elie Saab. Apparently Elie was taking inspiration from a David's Bridal dress(that's been around for at least ten years) for this periwinkle number. Here's a hint Fergie, no matter how much money your hubby is spending on strippers, don't wear anything that could have come free with a $99 wedding dress.

Those who didn't fail...

Diane Kruger was a pop of refreshing style and color in this stunning Christian Lacroix dress. The bubble gum pink isn't a most desired color, but with the intriguing  design it's fun and different. Kruger is the queen of finding, and rocking, unique evening wear that it equal parts: beautiful, quirky with just a pinch of avant garde for good measure.

Zoe Saldana did not disappoint in this gorgeous wine colored mess of ruffles and femininity by Louis Vuitton. A classic start of a dress with a beautiful and exciting end.






Best in Show

The fashion gods were smiling down upon Kate Hudson this night. A little Lady Gaga? A little origami? Don't you dare associate this fabulous bright white dress to a wedding gown, it's too cool to be one. This Marchesa gown was it. No other words necessary.
