L'Homme: Golden Boys

 
Ben Affleck rocked the house in a Gucci custom peak lapel three-piece tuxe in sapphire, including matching bow tie. Not to mention the killer grosgrain trim down the side of his pants, which you can see here.
 
 
Eddie Redmayne in Burberry.  A close second - in a very different style to Ben, but totes age appropriate for the Burberry model.  Speaking of Eddie - there will absolutely be a post on all his looks of late. 
 
Bradley Cooper - need I say more? In a Tom Ford tux (sigh) made from eco-friendly materials, as part of the Green Carpet Challenge.  Speaking of Tom Ford, I did not really dig Leo's look.
 
Aziz Ansari in Dior Homme. Isn't he just the best? #iloveanindianfunnyman

Speaking of Burberry, Damian Lewis looked pretty sharp.

I feel like this shawl lapel on Max Greenfeld is pretty interesting.

Robert Pattinson - sleek in Gucci.  I dig this lapel.  In full, here

Jeremy Renner - I have so many issues with the fact that he appears to be in the middle of growing a moustache (you know I hate Movember) but the Bourne boy from Modesto does this Dior Homme well.

Red Carpet roundup: 2013 Golden Globes

 
Top of the class
 
 Helen Mirren you are SMOKIN'.  You should give lessons.
(Badgley Mischka Couture)
 
Lucy Liu - garden goddess.  I adore this. 
It's so fun, so bold and so divine.
(Carolina Herrera )
 
Naomi Watts - glamour, glamour, glamour. 
(Zac Posen)


I sort of want you at the top of the list, but how long can the top of the list really be?


Kate Hudson - I actually think this is off-the-chain good. 
But I couldn't put it in the top 3, because Mirren is staking her claim. 
See it in better close up here.
 
Jennifer Garner, looking pretty stunning really.
 Also, her accessory - very aesthetically pleasing.
(Vivienne Westwood)
 

 
Honourable mentions

I mean.  These two are awesome.  I had some notes on Amy's red carpet look,
but since I love them so much I'm not going to get into detail. 
 
Emily Blunt - a brave choice.  I normally don't like cut-outs but I think she rocked this.
(Michael Kors Resort)
 
Jennifer Westfeld aka Mrs John Hamm.  Bold colour, interesting structure.
 
Julianna Marguiles. Amazing from the front.
The sides, well let's leave that sheer mess to a different perspective.
(Naeem Khan)
 
Nicole Richie in a charming colour. Was this kid really in The Simple Life?
(Naeem Khan)


Julianne Moore in Tom Ford.  A strong performance.


Jessica Alba, total glamour puss and such a fresh colour.
Looks like she is carrying Elmo but you can't win 'em all.
(Oscar de la Renta)

Super interesting and elegant.  Michelle Dockery in Alexandre Vauthier.
 
 
I want to get on board with this, but I just can't
 
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior. So statuesque.  The colour - awesome (see above). 
The breast cups - not so awesome.
 
Kerry Washington in Miu Miu. I want it to make sense, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.  At least not for the Globes.  It's Miu Miu and has silver, emboidery, embellishment. 
But the skirt and the sheer and the hair.  I can't compute.
 

You've let yourself (and all of us) down
 
Oh Lena. You are so bloody awesome. I want so much for you.
And still, you let me down: time after time, after time.

Oh Chastain. What is up with the draping, the finish, the fit around the breast area?  It's not rocket science.  This is - "I promised I'd wear this, and I tried it on 15 minutes before the red carpet and it looked terrible, but I couldn't back out/I didn't have anything else to wear." 
 
Thank goodness you are married to Daniel Craig.  Nothing can save you from this disaster.
 
Julie Bowen.  I want to cry.  I can't even have a discussion with you about how 'made by my high school best friend who thinks she's a designer' this is.
 
Dobrev. No.  Are you trying to be interesting?  If so, see Kate Hudson above for advice. 
If not, strick to the script you incredible specimen.
 
This is not a cocktail party Marion. But, points for the colour.
 
There is nothing about this that is good.  Also, how about changing it up a little sister?
 
Cracked out (and not in a hot mess kinda way)
 
Halle Berry, from the House of Early 90s Material in a Small Town Shopping Mall. 
How can such a beautiful woman with so many
stylists at her beck and call make such poor choices?

Guiliana, I can't even.

It's like these are offcuts from Julianna Marguiles's dress?

Boho meets bells meets Zorro?

Oh JLo.  It's exhausting trying to stay relevant isn't it? 
Also, that white suit half will not do.

This is not an AWARDS outfit.  And it's weird, in the
weird way that can sometimes be cool.  Except this is not cool. 

Leg it alone, already will you?
 
No.  Can we not learn from Angelina's mistakes?  Are you trying to become a meme?

And no.
 
I'm so bored, I might fall asleep
 
Nude is not your friend.  See also: Amanda Seyfried
Isla Fisher and Megan Fox did nude better.

I'm going to let this pass, but only because Hugh Dancy is your baby daddy, ok?

Meh.
 
Theoretically, this is good.  But I can't get excited.
