Style: Monique’s Golden Globes Fashion Picks 2015

Golden Globes Pic

As January rolls around it’s not only the start of a new year but the start of Awards Season which kicks off with the 72nd Annual Golden Globes, held at The Beverley Hilton Hotel in California Sunday 11th January (USA/LA time). You can find a full list of the winners here, but I’m here to discuss what awards shows are really about: the fashion! There were so many gorgeous looks this year and not many that I didn’t love. I will say that a fair few gorgeous actresses were playing it a bit safe with their looks but they still looked good. It’s been really hard to narrow down my list of favourites because there were so many, but these are my picks for the Golden Globes (in no particular order)!

Loved

1. Allison Williams

I love red, I love a ruffle (see my wedding dress) and I love sparkles; so it’s no surprise that I loved the Armani Prive number Allison Williams wore. Red can be a risky choice during Awards Season as you don’t want to match the carpet but the glitz and glam of this dress makes it a bit of a stand-out for me. I love the Old Hollywood glam style of Allison’s hair and makeup. It’s a winner in my eyes.

2. Emma Stone

Emma-Stone-In-Lanvin-2015-Golden-Globe-Awards

Not many people can pull off a jumpsuit on the red carpet but Emma Stone sure can! Stunning in this Lanvin jumpsuit, the bejewelled top and sleek black bottom with gorgeous black bow is so chic. The Golden Globes is the perfect awards show to try out something a little bit out of the box. Her gorgeous cropped hair with subtle waves and her makeup finished off the look perfectly.

3. Julianne Moore

Julianne-Moore-In-Givenchy-----2015-Golden-Globes

It was Julianne Moore’s night as she snatched up Best Actress in a Drama for Still Alice and she wore a winner’s attire! I loved her sparkly and feathered custom Givenchy Couture dress which is reminiscent of Mila Kunis in Gucci Première at the Globes last year which I also loved! Her make up and jewellery complimented the look perfectly. I was a tiny by underwhelmed by her hair but regardless, she was looking fierce!

4. Helen Mirren

Helen-Mirren-In-Dolce-Gabbana-----2015-Golden-Globes

Helen Mirren knows how to rock a red carpet like no other and her red rhinestone encrusted long-sleeve Dolce & Gabbana dress was another clear winner! Her hair, makeup and accessories were perfect— especially the Charlie Hebdo pin, showing that Helen loves to make a statement.

5. Jessica Chastain

Jessica-Chastain-In-Atelier-Versace-2015-Golden-Globe-Awards

Is this Jessica Chastain or Jessica Rabbit? What a bombshell! While I don’t often like too much cleavage on the red carpet (or in general really), Jessica looked SMOKING in her bronze shimmering Atelier Versace halter gown. Her side-swept curled hair, smokey eyes and the diamond drop earrings completed the look with style. Jessica was sultry and gorgeous, the perfect look.

6. Anna Kendrick

Anna-Kendrick-In-Monique-Lhuillier-2015-Golden-Globe-Awards

This Monique Lhuillier gown was perfect for Anna Kendrick who recently starred in fairytale-fantasy film, Into The Woods. The blush tulle, the neckline and the ruby beading and waist belt made for one magical look. Anna, you killed it!

Honourable mentions to: Chrissy Teigen, Emily Blunt, Katie Holmes, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Anna Faris, Reese Witherspoon, Felicity Jones, Laura Prepon, Taylor Schilling, Sienna Miller and Amy Adams.

Didn’t Love

1. Rosamund Pike

Rosamund-Pike-in-Vera-Wang-2015-Golden-Globes

I should love this Vera Wang dress. Give me a white tulle dress and I am normally in love. But there’s something about the way this dress fits Rosamund Pike’s body that I don’t like. I feel as though it makes her slender frame appear wider than it is and the fit isn’t very flattering on her chest. Rosamund’s hair and makeup was very feminine and well executed, but this look missed the mark a bit for me.

2. Zosia Mamet

Zosia-Mamet-In-Andrew-Gn-2015-Golden-Globe-Awards

Zosia often makes her way onto my “didn’t love” list. She never wears horrible things but I think it comes down to personal style preferences. This Andrew Gn Resort 2015 gown seemed a bit too long for Zosia and I felt the colour palette of grey and baby pink washed her out. While I don’t mind a peplum, it seems a bit out of place in a red-carpet gown, especially one with a full skirt.

3. Keira Knightley

Keira-Knightley-In-Chanel-2015-Golden-Globe-Awards

Keira Knighley took a risk wearing this custom Chanel gown and in my opinion, I don’t think she pulled it off. While removing the sleeves from the Pre-Fall 2015 collection gown was a good choice, the ruffles at the top and the bottom and the odd butterfly print of the rest of the gown left a bit to be desired. I still don’t know what to make of the over-sized butterfly wrist-wear.

4. Kerry Washington

Kerry-Washington-In-Mary-Katrantzou-2015-Golden-Globe-Awards

Last year Kerry Washington was nailing maternity fashion on the red carpet. This year I wasn’t a fan. The corseted off-the-shoulder pink and navy metallic gown from Mary Katrantzou’s first Pre-Fall 2015 collection was a bit of an odd choice. The cut, the length and the combination of colours wasn’t working well for Kerry.

I’d love to hear what you all thought of the fashion choices on the red carpet! Who were your favourites? Which fashion picks do you think missed the mark? 

And what did you think of Amal Clooney’s gloves?

Just a kind reminder: no nastiness, please. Celebrities are still people so you can critique their fashion choices, but don’t be nasty about it.

      Agree with your picks! Jessica Rabbit, indeed! Do those boobs defy gravity? Emma Stone and Helen Mirren are just flawless. So stylish!

      • Monique Fischle

        She was just wow! There were so many good looks this time.

    • iamevilcupcake

      When I grow up, I want to marry Helen Mirren. And Judy Dench.

      I noticed there were some STUNNING electric blue dresses. I think Amy Poehler was wearing one? I LOVE bright colours on the red carpet.

      I can’t comment on an awards ceremony post without leaving a pic of Mr Cumberbatch. Here he is with his fiancee Sophie Hunter and the Cumberbump!!! Squeee!!!

      • Monique Fischle

        Yes! There were so many bright colours, especially blue, yellow and red. There was a gorgeous green as well. Amy Poehler looked incredible.

        Mr Cumberbatch and Sophie were VERY stylish. I loved her gown too!

      I actually quite like Kiera Knightley’s frock – I just think that it’s a bit shapeless. If it had been cinched in a little under the bust then it would’ve been divine. I agree that Rosamund Pike’s dress wasn’t very flattering – she suffered from what I call “droopy boob syndrome”. Some dresses I think are made for flat chested models so if you have any form of chest action, it makes them look droopy and saggy. And Emma Stone. *sigh* Can I be that effortlessly stylish when I grow up?

      • Monique Fischle

        It is very shapeless. Even if it wear cinched at the waist I’m not sure I would have liked it but each to their own.

        Emma Stone is just flawless!

      In defence of Rosumand Pike- she’s had a baby 5 weeks prior to wearing this and Keira Knightley is pregnant. For some reason she’s not one of those people (Blake Lively?) who wear clingy baby bump dresses. I thought there was far too much made of Keira’s choice in the press. My favourite was Reese Witherspoon for sure.

      • Monique Fischle

        Until this week, I had no idea Rosamund had just had a baby! I don’t think she looks “bad”, I just don’t think the top of the dress was flattering on her regardless of whether or not she had just had a baby. And it doesn’t bother me that Keira Knightley isn’t wearing super clingy baby bump dresses, I just didn’t like this particular dress (it was more the pattern of the fabric and the frills that was my issue).

        Reese did look fantastic!
