Halle Berry in pastel printed Atelier Versace at the Golden Globes: hot mess or sexy?


Apart from maybe Lucy Lui’s Gone with The Wind disaster, Halle Berry was just about the only Globes attendee wearing a printed dress last night. She was in a celestial print pastel one-shoulder draped Atelier Versace. The bustline made it look like one of her boobs was hanging lower than the other. In true Halle form, she showed off some of her enviable stomach through this dress. So did Halle pull it off? I’ll be damned if she did. Halle loves her 90s fashion and she’s about the only woman who seems to consistently rock it with style. Halle looks gorgeous and offbeat here. She was true to form. Still, this was not occasion appropriate, but what the hell does Halle care? She just wants to look hot. Also, Halle’s eyes look different, don’t they?

This post is somewhat dedicated to the leg-flashers, the women who stuck their legs out, Jolie-style, through the high slit in their gowns. The more time that passes, the more I realize that Jolie was somewhat of a trailblazer for this trend and that we should reserve our mocking for those who follow it blindly. Like I doubt any of these women did this as a joke, particularly Eva Longoria here who is straining to show as much thigh as possible. Look at her caterpillar eyelashes and her Bride of Frankenstein poof. Eva thinks she’s super hot in this black lace dress with slits everywhere. This mess of a dress is custom Emilio Pucci.

Heidi Klum was in her latest go-to designer, Alexandre Vauthier. For Heidi, this tight, high slit gown isn’t bad. For anyone else it’s been done before and it’s not that interesting. Also check out how orange Heidi is.

Also very orange and try-hard is Lea Michele. We just saw her very pap-friendly vacation with her boyfriend, Corey Monteith, so some of this radioactive glow is probably natural, but it looked pretty fake to me on screen. Lea was in Elie Saab. It’s not a bad dress, but she bugs me so much I have a hard time admiring her fashion. Did anyone else get annoyed by the constant L’oreal haircare commercials featuring Lea that aired during the breaks?

And finally Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in black Saint Laurent. This is probably some high fashion gown that I’m not “getting,” but it just looks like a gothic mess to me, like something I would wear to an eighth grade ball and think was cool. I like the belt. I guess Rosie was there as Jason Statham’s date, so they must be going somewhat strong. We heard breakup rumors about these two just about a month ago.

Statham needs to shave that hot head of his. Hair is not a good look for him.

    Halle was one of the worst dressed of the night and it couldn’t have happened to a better person. I loath this woman and I am ready for her to go away.

    Eva. Wow, talk about desperate and try hard. It’s a tie between her and JLo for the most unnecessary and pathetic appearance of the night.

    Lea and Heidi – two words – OF COURSE.

    And more leg from Rosie Whatshername. Shocking.

        I think I would’ve hated the dress on anyone else, but on Halle, it really worked. Not everyone wants to wear the shapeless avant garde couture that’s all the rage now. So I guess it’s possible to be both a hot mess AND sexy? I know she’s nuts and all, but the woman is rockin’ 46.

        Halle’s a pretty lady, no doubt.

        But there have been several different instances in which I’ve gotten close-up views of her and a handful of other “most beautiful women in Hollywood/the known universe” out and about, and they’ve all been attractive in a very normal way — that is, not one of them has given me whiplash from her mind-shattering beauty.

        These people have the means and the motivation to appear impeccably well groomed most, if not all, of the time. It’s their job to be glamazons. So their “incredible beauty” should really be taken into perspective. If they weren’t celebs, they’d blend in just like everybody else.

        This is a film and TELEVISION event. The last event honouring last season’s TV schedule. DH was very much a part of last season.This is probably the last shout out she’ll get unless she gets a role on film/TV again or buys her way in for next year’s awards season.

        GG are the last awards in the year for TV people.

        As for her attendance at CAnnes, she is a L’oreal spokesperson. L’Oreal sponsor Cannes. They fly in all their girls. That’s why you see people like Eva, Cheryl Cole, Aishwarya Rai etc despite not having any product at the festival.

    I thought the ‘leg thing’ was ridiculous. I laughed when Jolie did it (as it was an over-the-top thrust) and I laughed as soon as the pics started filtering through my feeds. Unfrakkinbelievable how so many women blindly did the same damn thing. Whoever ‘their people’ are, they should be fired. These women looked foolish, ignorant, commercial and unoriginal. As if the excess wasn’t enough. Barf.

    I said this yesterday but Halle always looks soooo dated. She has such a gorgeous face and figure but she is stuck in one look. Same silhouette, same hair, same make up. I swear, if you lined up all her looks I couldn’t tell you what is from ’98, or the entire past decade and now. Such a waste! Oh and where is Olivier? I haven’t seen him in a while, don’t they usually walk these things together? I see she still has on her ring though….

    Eva’s make up is too much, Rosie should close her mouth, Heidi looks cheap as usual and Leah looks like Leah.

    Leah takes me back to Charlize Theron, she had the same shiny dress and orange skin when she won that Oscar for Monster.

    Rosie, I don’t understand her gown either.

    Halle looks the same to me lately no matter what she wears. And her stance in that first picture looks like the way I stand when I’m trying to pee in the woods. Or over a toilet without actually sitting on it.

    And as someone once said about Ashley Judd’s cooch-high slit, Eva Longoria is trying to show us her special purpose.

      Of course the leg pose has been done before. But Angelina really took it to a whole new level. It was really ridiculously out there and even when she went onstage to present, she was still thrusting that leg out there. At least when Eva presented tonight, at least she kept her leg back. i loved the dress when she wore it onstage.

        @Marianne, who wrote: “Of course the leg pose has been done before. But Angelina really took it to a whole new level. It was really ridiculously out there and even when she went onstage to present, she was still thrusting that leg out there.”

        You know, I really thought someone would have said this before now regarding ‘the leg’ and why Angelina may have thrust it out in such a manner.

        As many, MANY of you have pointed out, the woman lives with a little fashion-nista (yes, I’m talking about Ms. ‘Z’). Is it too hard to imagine Angie and Brad walking out the door and Ms. ‘Z’ saying “Don’t forget, you have to put her hand on your hip and put your leg out like ‘this’”?

        That was the ‘first’ thing I thought when she did it on stage (because it almost looked like she forgot for a second), that Ms. ‘Z’ was watching and had ‘instructed’ her Mom how to strike a pose in that beautiful dress. :)

        Lighten up, people. As evidenced by all the ‘hand on hips, legs out’ poses on the Red Carpet yesterday, Angie wasn’t as ‘mocked’ as some of you might wish.

    What was missing in Jolie’s leg pose was the feminine slight inward tilt of the knee. The women here are pulling it off nicely, whilst she just looked awkward – like she was stamping on a bug or something.

      Rumour has it that Halle had to cover those bills as part of the settlement. The same settlement that saw Aubrey take Nahla to Canada for Christmas, without Berry having any contact at all over the holidays, right after he’d already had his daughter with him for Thanksgiving.

      Berry was feeling awfully generous for a woman whose scary, violent ex just launched an unprovoked attack, don’t you think? Funny, that she has spent years claiming he’s too volatile and dangerous to be in Nahla’s life, yet now she is meekly rolling over, if he’s in the wrong and she can prove it – no?

      She is indeed a staggeringly beautiful woman. But her selfish refusal to consider the needs of her own child has destroyed her reputation, and it seems very likely it will have the same effect on her career.

She’s mess cause of those quasi-frosted tips, the washed out matte make-up and eyebrow situation, and the over-abundance of fillers around her mouth.
    Oh, and her entire persona and malicious soul. ; )

    Her expression in that first pic is very interesting – you can really see the bitchy angry under the surface even though she’s trying to promote a whole ‘serene goddess” vibe. And it also looks like she’s about to squat to pee.

    I hate this dress. Halle has a mega-hot body and a beautiful face and she is capable of looking elegant and classy and hot all at the same time; but she insists on these nineties-style monstrosities that flash as much flesh as possible. Plus she has a habit of choosing dresses which make her breasts look lopsided due to weird tailoring. She needs to learn the valuable lesson that sometimes showing less flesh is actually sexier.
