Golden Globes 2011

 The Golden Globes awards are the fashion precursor to the Oscars. See what your favorite celebrities wore at 2011 edition.



'Love and Other Drugs' star Anne Hathaway jumps on the backless bandwagon. This stunning spangled Armani gown is modern and demure with long sleeves and a high neck. It's when she turns around that you get that movie star moment. Not a normal look for Ms. Hathaway but still a winner.


'Mad Men' star January Jones loves to push the boundaries of fashion, but this bright red peekaboo Versace gown takes things a little too far. Made entirely of flowy fringe with some dangerous cutouts, it's a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.


Christina Aguilera hit the red carpet in a Zuhair Murad beaded gown and added Lorraine Schwartz jewels to complete the embellished getup. This could have been a hit for the over-the-top dresser except her cups runneth over.


 Dianna Agron, a member of the "Glee" cast, looked delicate and refined in a J. Mendel beige silk chiffon hand-pleated strapless gown. The dress suits her complexion, she seems to glow from within.


 It's hard to pick apart someone as perfect as Halle Berry, but that won't stop cutting down her Nina Ricci dress a bit. Her sexy bustier dress with tulle train and funky cuffs looks more suited for a show like the Grammys, not an elegant and glamorous evening at the Golden Globes. Shame Ms. Berry, shame.


 Tribal taken too far -- supermodel Heidi Klum picked a psychedelic Marc Jacobs number for the event. Maybe it would work on a dancefloor next to Warhol, but on the red carpet on Klum it looks like a customized kaftan.


 Julianne Moore's hot pink Lanvin gown appears to be eating her necklace. And one of her arms. The color is bold, which she does wonderfully, but the shapeless, strangely asymmetrical style is just screaming "worst."



'Gossip Girl' Leighton Meester is no stranger to trying new things, but this blah Burberry Prorsum gown really lets the fashionista down. Muted colors, long sleeves and a very modest slit put this unflattering and un-wowing as a dressed up sister wife.


 Lea Michele of “Glee” walked the carpet in a light pink Oscar de la Renta gown. She really raised the bar in this ruffled one-shoulder dress by the designer.


 Mandy Moore lit up the carpet in a bold, cobalt blue Monique Lhuillier gown. The tulle, mermaid-style hem adds a princess feel, and the fit is flawless and the vibe feminine but not frothy.. 


 "Rabbit Hole" star Nicole Kidman in this simple, single-shoulder Prada gown really makes me wish for those days long ago when she used to bring the glamour to the red carpet. Now she's in a vanilla piece with a little bow, almost no jewelry and uninspiring hair. It's not the worst out there, but it's certainly not what Nicole is capable of.



The 'Black Swan' star and glowing soon-to-be mom heated up her dress with a Swarovski crystal red rose – front and center! Pink and red together? How unexpected. In this preggers-friendly, empire-waist Viktor & Rolf gown with rose detail, matching clutch and Tiffany jewels. It's the actress's night to shine.


Sandra Bullock looks like she's shying away from the spotlight with her new heavy bangs, looking like she wants to be somewhere else, and the dress that really underwhelms. The pale pink Jenny Packham number tries to wow with crystal detail, but I've come to expect more pizzazz from Sandy.


 Yes. we are green with envy! Angelina Jolie, nominated for a Globe for 'The Tourist,' looked smashing in this long-sleeved Atelier Versace beaded gown, no longer in her basic black. Green was the color of the night, and of course Angie was right there leading the pack, the bar has been set for this season. Also had the best accessory of the evening, Brad.


 "Glee" gal Amber Riley wowed the crowd in this one-shouldered Oliver Tolentino sequined dress. Dark nails and blunt bangs completed the ensemble. Shows a woman who is not a size 2 can look amazing.


 "Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks always looks red hot, while the color flatters her skin, the oversized ruffle near her neck competes too much with her lose hair.


 Eva Longoria followed the night's big trend in black, but this classic Zac Posen gown is anything but basic. With a fitted bodice, open back, fluid train and two diamond birds on her belted waist, the 'Desperate Housewives' star is a show-stopper.


 'Easy A' star Emma Stone -- who's gone blonde for her upcoming role in 'Spider-Man' -- plays up her lighter locks in a figure-flattering peach Calvin Klein Collection number. The short sleeves and high neckline are perfect on her petite frame. A breathe of fresh air on the carpet.


Can't expect anything less than crazy from 'The King's Speech', Helena Bonham Carter's red carpet looks, but this never gets old. She's sporting her signature wild hair, a mess of a Vivienne Westwood dress and, mismatched shoes. Thanks for keeping things interesting and being an individual.


Nominated for best supporting actress in TV series, miniseries or made-for-TV movie for her role in "Dexter," Julia Stiles was Old Hollywood glamour in this one-shouldered dress. And her curly bob hairstyle and pink lipstick rounded out her glamorous look.


 'The Client List" star Jennifer Love Hewitt has another red carpet miss in an icy pale blue Romona Caveza gown with a fussy flyaway top and a too-high hairdo. The only hint of color comes by way of a too-orange spray tan.

'Modern Family' beauty Sofia Vergara struts her stuff in sexy red on the red carpet. This belted and sashed Vera Wang gown shows off her fine figure, and the lace-up detail in back takes those covetable curves from wow to va-va-voom.


'House' star Olivia Wilde shines in this strapless princess Marchesa gown, with a generous spray of gold sequins dazzling on chocholate brown tulle. No additional jewels were needed but updo would have taken it to the next level.


 Michelle Williams gets hippy chic ... minus the chic. The 'Blue Valentine' star's flower power Valentino number, blooming with daisies on the neutral nude fabric, is a little too garden party and not enough Golden Globes. Disappointed, Michelle has done better.


We can usually count on Jennifer Lopez to bring some fierce divaliciousness. Her bright white Zuhair Murad dress was a shining example on an otherwise dark red carpet, with the silk chiffon draping and the sheer sparkle tulle capelet.


'Black Swan' actress Mila Kunis underscored her dark beauty in a one-shoulder green gown by Vera Wang. It's grown-up glam and she totally owns it!


 Catherine Zeta-Jones was to die for in a stunning emerald green Monique Lhuillier strapless gown, that compliments her skin and hair beautifully. The strapless dress definitely leans towards the more elaborate side, but it fits Catherine's elegant style.
