Golden Globes Wrap: Orange Crush

Huzzah for the continued omnipresence of old Hollywood glamour. This year's Golden Globes awards were dripping in it - stunning, floor grazing, body-skimming frocks, luscious red lips, immaculate hair and sparkling accessories; all carried off without we as voyeuristic viewer feeling that we know how they look naked. Very nice. My favourite outfits were Toni Collette, Drew Barrymore (both in nude, sparkly dresses which were to die for), Chloe Sevigny with her daring ruffles and Diane Kruger with fuschia ruffles also. My favourite hair was January Jones. And who could go past that banging body of Christina Hendricks?! Holy mother of God.

I just love those Mad Men girls.

The big trend, however, was the peach-hued, dewy girl make-up everyone seemed to be donning. Check it out here:

It's a nice move away from the uber-polished flawless make-up we've had of late - think flawless skin and red lips a la Dita von Teese - and I was also pleased to see that at last, our fingernails no longer need to look as though they've been dipped in tar. Sure, I enjoyed the trend at the time, but I'm totally over it now.

  1. Christina Hendricks has got to be the most incredible looking woman of the decade. And she has so many 'wrongs' - pale skin, red hair, big boobs, big bum.. Yet she works it and I'll bet as soon as she stepped onto the red carpet, every single eye was suddenly on her and didn't leave her until she was inside. Lucky bitch..
