Let's face it, probably the biggest reason that any of us fashion gals and guys even watch the award shows such as Golden Globes, Oscars, AMA's are to see the beautiful fashion and sometimes completely whacked out choices that would never be considered on the "it" list. As peach and what I would call evergreen seem to be popular choices, there was also a solid representation in black.
The two dresses right off the bat that caught my eye with their minimalist lines happen to be peach and happen to be from Calvin Klein's "Collection". Both Claire Danes and Emma Stone looked absolutely stunning and understated, just perfect for this show.

Thank goodness Eva Longoria got it really right in a black Zac Posen gown. I loved how this gown pushed the traditional with a beautiful open neckline and I loved how the capped sleeves wrapped up around the neck. It really looked stunning on her almost adding a few inches to her petite frame. This was probably one of my favorite gowns of the night even though I don't typically favor black at these events.
And I love Catherine Zeta Jones, but absolutely did not like seeing this evergreen or emerald green gown showing up across several actresses including Mila Kunis who aged twenty years in this color!

The gown on Angelina actually looked much darker on television. It is an awfully strong color to risk and when it pops out several times it is just a little overwhelming in my opinion. It is not like a classic color such as red or midnight blue where an actress can wear it more uniquely. It just seemed to be the trendy color to wear and not a favorite of mine for sure. My other disappointment if there was one was Natalie Portman in Viktor & Rolfe. It looks like she has a big crystal-like flower just smacked in the center of her bustline. If you saw the dress overall, it was a lovely shade of petal pink which she can carry quite well and the draping was really pretty, especially in the back. I always look forward to what she is going to wear and this was just an utter miss (baby or not!).Posted Sunday 1.16.11 from WWD.com Golden Globes Carpet Goes Blush
Beverly Hills, CA — Stars found themselves in the pink Sunday night at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards here. The collective blush — which ranged from pale pink to fiery fuschia — was also a breath of fresh air on a red carpet that has seen more than enough neutral tones of late. Julianne Moore didn’t realize she’d be leading the charge in a hot pink Lavin gown, which Alber Elbaz asked to design for her “about 15 minutes after I was nominated.” “He said over the phone, ‘How do you feel about pink?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, whatever.’” Clearly other designers, from Viktor & Rolf, who designed Natalie Portman’s satin column; Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, who did Claire Danes, column to Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang and Giorgio Armani, who designed Lea Michelle’s, Sofia Vergara’s and Megan Fox’s respective gowns, also got the memo.
A handful of A-listers — Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mila Kunis — also popped in green, which was the runner-up for statement color of the evening. Jolie’s Versace gown was so eye-catching that Justin Beiber (who actually got more cat calls than Brad Pitt on the red carpet), stopped to pose for a photo with the actress, causing a minor meltdown among screaming fans. As always, there were a handful of sophisticated black frocks on the likes of Annette Bening, Halle Berry and Piper Perabo, but more interesting were fashion girls like Michelle Williams, who went her own way in beige Valentino dotted with whimsical daisies. “It was the one I liked the most,” she said with a shrug as she rushed off the carpet and into the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton.
Who were your favorites?
I liked most of the GG dresses this year. Unless I missed quite a few, that is. Nothing really ugly that stood out, except of HBC's dress and Natalie Portman's maternity gown, as you pointed out. The presenters actually liked that one. I liked CZJ's the best of the ones I've seen.
