Golden Globes Awards 2012

Even with some days of delay, I do not want to miss the chance to comment on the outfits seen at the Golden Globes Awards, considered the prelude to the Oscars (which will be broadcasted on February 26th).

As usual, in my opinion, there's been some hits and many misses. To point out: the return of the long siren dress, seen on Sofía Vergara (to me, one of the most beautiful women of the night), Elle MacPherson and Reese Whiterspoon.

I think it was unanimous among the critics that Angelina Jolie looked sensational. The best in elegance, beauty and style. I wouldn't buy her dress (Atelier Versace), but it looked fantastic on her. And it was a frontal answer to the mean gossips that said she was anorexic, depressed, etc. Simply, the best (Brad Pitt as companion sure helps...).

I must say, though, that for these kind of galas I prefer tied hair-dos. Elle MacPherson, who is very beautiful, didn't look well with those extensions and curls. I do tend to think that women of more than 40 that never use their hairs tied in a ponytail or chignon, have something to hide: a lifting scar or something like that. Clear shoulders and neck are much more elegant.

I did liked Nicole Kidman's dress, also a Versace, that fitted perfectly to her body. Her face, however, is another issue. Divine Natalie Portman, with a two-color Lanvin: red and fuchsia, a combination that will be seen a lot in the European summer. I would criticize Kate Winslet's choice of dress, black on top, white in the bottom: everybody knows that that makes your hips broader and, if you are not thin enough, it's not flattering.

Charlize Theron is so beautiful that even a soul-less dress, like her Dior, can not spoil her. 

Of the many Guccis seen that night, I prefer Jessica Alba's to Salma Hayek's (her husband owns the brand).

Madonna's Reem Accra wasn't nice either.

Among the men, Jean Dujardin and Colin Firth were the best...

Now let's wait for the runway show of the Academy Awards...
