Golden GLOBED 2012: Best & Worst on the Red Carpet

This years Golden Globes had most celebrities flaunting in the nude/beige trend while others opted for bright yellows. Not so much of a range of color, but style was totally in question with some of the choices our A-list celebs had picked.. What were they thinking?

Here are a few of my top picks and least faves of the evening...

Fave! Lea Michele in Marches. This style will always remind me of Halle Berry's '06 Oscars dress.

Fave! Absolutely love Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. She always impresses me!

Fave! Selma Hayek in Gucci. The Egyptian-esque design reminds me of the 1920's avaunt-garde.

Hated It! Freida Pinto in Prada. Looks like a curtain held together by a string of leather.

Fave! Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci. Love the transition from sequence to feathers.

Hated It! Michelle Williams in Jason Wu. Really? That's what you're wearing to the GG?

Hated It! Natalie Portman in Lanvin. What were you thinking?? You look like a rejected cupcake!

Hated it! Elizabeth McGovern in Giorgio Armani. So unflattering! Did Armani just cut two different dresses & sew 'em together?

Fave! Elle Macpherson in Zac Posen. I saw this dress and thought, "That would be a great wedding dress!"

Fave! Laura Dern in Andrew Gn. Looking like an emerald trophy! Keepin' it classy, Dr. Sattler.

Hated It! Morena Baccarin in Edition by Georges Chakra. WHAT is going on with your cleavage there??

Fave! Nicole Richie in Julian Macdonald & Neil Lane. Simple & Classy.

Hated It! Ariel Winter in Dolce & Gabbana - yet another rejected cupcake.

Fave! Nancy O'Dell in THEIA. A classic cut, seen in different colors and by different designers, she still made it looks so good!

Fave! Jane Fonda in Jack Guisso. Jane, you are absolutely GORGEOUS! 74 & still hot!

Chanel Fashion Show Paris-Bombay 2011/12 Métier d'Art

Last night aired Chanel's Paris-Bombay 2011/12 Métier d'Art, showcasing Karl Lagerfeld's vision in a setting of regal stature.

Ravishing: the ambiance was royal, what felt like 'Mary Antoinette meets the Maharaja'. Beautiful ebony smudged eyes of models glared at you as they passed by, with Indian-inspired jewels adorning their faces, walking along lavishly fruitful tables befitting a queen. Before each guest was a full plate setting, and a tablescape as if a royal feast is to be served (and in essence it was). Everything from the crystal chandeliers to the dessert fork was present, classic French down to the last detail. Even the bowls of fruit were screaming "Renaissance"!

It is the excessive lavishness of the French siècle des Lumières merged with the haute luxe revival of the Mughals Dynasty. The entire show was a sensual and exotic marriage of colors, including bold pinks and pearls, dread-locked hair and the classic Chanel tweed ensembles (and much more).

Here are some clips from the fashion show, available for viewing on Chanel.com.
