The Golden Globes: Back in Black

Jan 18, 2010

There were many black gowns on the carpet this year, some were boring but others were sublime.  Here are my favorites from the ladies in black.

Lea Michelle looks smashing in Oscar de la Renta.  This dress is a little poofy for me, but I adore the pleating on the sweetheart bodice and the texture of the skirt.  I also think she had the best smokey-eye of the night.

Olivia Wilde does her best Bridget Bardot in a slinky, sequined Gucci and a sexy ponytail.  It still doesn’t rival the Carolina Herrera she wore to the Emmy’s in 2008.

Meryl Streep never ceases to amaze with her incredible talent and her ability to dress in way that is both age appropriate and elegant.  I love the slight asymmetry of the neckline and the casual belt.  And of course, there is no better accessory than a golden statuette.

Penelope Cruz had my favorite black dress of the night.  This Armani Prive frock has ribbon striping, floral detail and soft, shimmering bodice.  And toting that chic umbrella, she looks like a character straight out of a Fellini film.

    Meryl Streep’s dress was lovely, and was Dame Helen Mirren in vintage black Emporio Armani 🙂

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

The Counter: The Post-Product Era

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss.  Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner?  In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin.  But in my 40s, my skin […]

November AMA: You Asked, I Answered

Another month has come and gone, and between a busy work schedule, illness and the search for new childcare, I almost forgot to ask for questions for the AMA.  Luckily, I remembered late last night.  So here we go. I always think it’s funny when people send rude or overly personal questions when I put […]
