Red carpet at the Globes: best and worst dressed


Best Dressed: Jennifer Morrison, Demi Moore, Kate Winslet, Mary Louise Parker, Amy Adams, Kyra Sedgwick.

Cobalt blue dominated the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards last night. Simple strapless gowns in bold colors with subtle accents and jewelry hit the best notes. Kate Winslet wowed in black Yves St. Laurent and Chopard diamonds. Amy Adams was amazing in black floor length Oscar De La Renta. Kyra Sedgwick rocked a crimson strapless gown with a fishtail and subtle matching belt.


Worst Dressed: Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Drew Barrymore, Rene Zellweger, Lisa Rinna, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Glenn Close.

Rene Zellweger and Drew Barrymore sported messy hair that made otherwise acceptable dresses look trashy. Zellweger’s staple designer Carolina Herrera made her look a fright in a black gown with shoulder cutouts while Barrymore looked like a drunken teacher at the prom in John Galliano. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Lanvin dress was a bit too busy for the red carpet, although some found it daring and through it worked off the runway. Glenn Close was just too matronly in a sparkly brocade print jacket and tight silk pants. Heidi Klum wore a goofy cocktail dress with a giant red flower and gladiator shoes. Jennifer Lopez’s gold draped Marchesa gown was too reminiscent of that stuck-on Versace number she wore years ago, although this timei t looked neither fresh or daring, just kind of cheap. Poor Marisa Tomei was just ridiculous in a puffy shirt.


The rest: Angelina Jolie, Eva Mendes, Kate Beckinsale, Cameron Diaz, Salma Hayek, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus, Sandra Bullock, Megan Fox, Beyonce, America Ferrera, Christina Applegate, Sigourney Weaver, Eva Longoria Parker, Rumer Willis, Anne Hathaway, Rachel Griffiths, Tina Fey, Julie Benz, Beyonce, Olivia Wilde, Penelope Cruz, Blake Lively, Amanda Seyfried, Debra Messing, Elizabeth Banks.

Angelina Jolie didn’t wow or hit a major fashion misstep on the red carpet last night, she was just there. Her hair hung limp, and her makeup was simple. Her silver Altelier Versace dress was plain and loose without having any distinguishing features except for a side slit. It also had a drop waist which actually made the stick thin Angelina look a little frumpy. Maybe she’s hiding something under there. Kate Beckinsale certainly wasn’t the worst dressed, but she wore a typical prom-like poofy white dress with upswept hair. Eva Mendes looked the same in a white gown with a giant folded napkin detail at the waist. Big boobs from Salma Hayek drew our attention but they were way too shelf-like and pushed up. Beyonce was all about the boobs. Poor Miley Cyrus was also showing way too much cleavage, especially for a 16 year-old. Anne Hathaway was lovely in a Giorgia Armani Prive blue navy gown with crystal embroidering. Eva Longoria Parker was shiny in bright red Reem Acra. She may have made best dressed, but I thought the dress was too tight. Penelope Cruz was beautiful but a little plain in striped strapless champagne-colored Armani Prive. The color just didn’t work on her. Cameron Diaz’s Pepto pink Chanel was just too complicated, but it wasn’t awful. Megan Fox looked trashy in a tight gold gown.

Thanks to WENN and Fame for these photos.

    Aww I like the way Drew Barrymore looks. Its a very different look for her, more mature than usual, and I think she looks sexy as hell.

    J-Lo looks horrible as always. Always OTT. She and Lisa Rinna look like they should get back in their time machine and head back to the 1985 Golden Globes.

  2. vale says:

    Salma Hayek we get it you have huge boobs. You’d think she’s the only one with big boobs considering they’re always on display.. she sorta reeks of desperation.
    My favorite was Cameron Diaz’s, it was fresh, a fun color, fun cut, but still appropriate. A nice break from the long (and too often boring) gowns.

  3. voodoobetty says:

    Melissa Gilbert looks like she wrapped herself in her bed linen. That is an atrocious dress.

    A note to Celebitchy, it would be really helpful if the pictures had a caption on them when you mouse over which shows the name of the actress/actor in the photo instead of just some ambiguous file name. I have no idea who some of these people are.

  4. lara says:

    You didn’t just call Renee Zellweger’s dress an “acceptable dress”, did you?
    That just left me speechless for a moment, because in my eyes this is one hot tranny mess, LOL.
    But isn’t fashion a wonderful thing? So many different likings. I for one thought that Kate Winslet, an otherwise beautiful woman, wore a boring dress. I don’t see the beauty in Amy Adams dress either, but I too liked Kyra Sedgwick’s style. And I disagree with you on Kate Beckinsale, for once she looked really appropriate, nothing spectacular yet elegant.

  5. Len says:

    Everyone is talking about Drew’s hair, which is too bad, because wow what a dress! Such a beautiful color on her too. JLo looked worst in my opinion. And Beyonce’s dress was way too small! As were here shoes. Beyonce and Jlo somehow just try too hard and pose too much.

  6. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

    Eva Mendez’s necklace blew my mind. She should have chosen a different dress, but that necklace was so beautiful.

  7. Zoe says:

    great write up Celebitchy…
    thank god Kyra Sedgwick cut off that bleach blond hair she had, she looks much better with it shorter and a little darker…

    I also spy, with my little eye, *GASP* a tiny tummy and some tiny hips on Miss Angie… no, I don’t think she’s pregnant, I just think all that bull about her getting a tummy tuck are crap.

    I love that she doesn’t try too hard. It actually makes some of the other women look a bit desperate though.

    Boy has she grown up since her BBT days. Everyone has to go through those ultra passionate stages, most of us got to do it in the relative privacy of school and friends.

    Nothing like seeing starving children and human suffering a couple of hundred times to sober you up. So glad to see how far she’s come.

    *sighs* ok, bring it, Haters.

  8. Anon says:

    Ned and Monica should be here any minute lol

  9. 88modesty88 says:

    I don’t really have much love for Lisa Rinna, but I actually like her dress!

    Drew’s dress looks beautiful, except that it’s totally the wrong era for a dress like that, I think.

    But I’m no fashionista!

    And Angie’s legs look gorgeous!

  10. Baholicious says:

    Maggie Gyllenhaal is the one channeling 1985…this woman is all over the place with her look and typically not in a good way.

  11. Codzilla says:

    I don’t think Drew’s hair was THAT bad. Granted it could have been better, but her dress was really nice. And what the hell was Lisa Rinna doing there? Was she a presenter?

  12. Jen WInd says:

    I thought that Drew looked Beautiful, better than I have ever seen her in th past. I loved her dress, and her hair was really different for her.

    I for one actually thought that Ann Hathaways dress was very pretty also. DIdn;t like her hair much but her dress was pretty.

    Not sure waht JLo was thinking, but lord that was an awful look. After having twins not the look I would go for!

  13. I Choose Me says:

    I love the colour and detailing on Megan Fox’s gown but yeah she does look trashy in it. I think Drew looks fab, hair and all, I love, love the colour of her gown. Angie’s is definitely meh but she still looks gorgeous to me. Let’s see who else? Kate (Winslet) looks sensational of course. Renee…wtf?

  14. europeanChick says:

    bey’s dress would’ve looked better on someone who’s thin and sexy!

  15. Jaclyn says:

    It’s ‘Seyfried’ not ‘Selfridge’. Nice work.

  16. Faye says:

    when my husband and I first saw Drew’s hair we both looked at eachother and did not like it at all, regardless of hair she is beautiful, JLo’s dress a little too revealing her ass looked huge..Selma’s boobs ok we get it they r large..Loved Eva Menendez necklas she looked beautiful..Angelina was simple..Robert Downy looked like he just snorted a few lines in the bathroom..LOL overall almost everyone looked great, loved kate Winslet’s look, did not like Zellweger’s looks at all-nice make up that’s was it 🙂

  17. Celebitchy says:

    Fixed Jaclyn, thanks!

  18. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

    Zoe, you’re usually a little too much of a Brangeloonie for me to agree with you, but I think we’re actually aligned on one point! I think Angelina’s dress choices these days are in an effort to work around her tummy (without going to the overdone empire waist style). She’s definitely human and after having twins only a few months ago, it’s totally understandable that she’s got a soft mid section. Plus the only bikini pics of her I’ve seen on the internet were from like 2001 and even though she had skinny arms & legs like usual, her middle was a little soft (NOT fat). So if it’s her body type + having recently had twins + doesn’t want to do the boring empire waist dress style = these strange choices as of lately. I still don’t love her look, but I empathize with anyone who works around their imperfect parts, especially with the level of perfection expected in hollywood.

  19. jm says:

    Beyonce needs to Just. Go. Away. And if she has to contort herself into a ridiculous pose, perhaps the dress is a tad tight?

  20. jm says:

    And what was up with Tater Head clapping along and acting a big part of the show? I thought her job was to stand in the background like a statue, and not annoy the rest of us who don’t have famous parents to get us jobs like that?

  21. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

    jm, I don’t get the thing about Rumer Willis either. Dresses always fit her so LOW! Is her chest saggy or is she just very long in the torso? She really does have an inflated sense of importance and entitlement. It’s sickening. And I’m suprised her friend, my least favorite actor on Heroes, Hayden “Lolita” Panettiere was basically nonexistent in all the GG recaps. She presented but must have been above the red carpet because I don’t see her anywhere…

  22. Zoe says:

    @aaaaaaaa: LOL, funny, I don’t FEEL like a Brangeloonie!

    I know, I know, sometimes I just bristle at the automatic, irrational hatred of some of the posters and I over compensate!

    Yeah, she actually looks like a real person in these photos, it’s nice to see.

  23. KateNonymous says:

    I think Angelina’s dress might be hiding the fact that she just recently had twins.

  24. bros says:

    drew’s hair was a mess. i dont know what look she was going for, but her head ruined that relatively pretty dress. the fug girls live blogged the red carpet and made so much fun of her-somethig to the effect that she had gone through a wind-tunnel before arriving. Zellwegger looked like anne of green gables on crack.

    I thought eva looked really great. i lved the architecture of the dress she wore, and i want her necklace badly.

    j lo of course was tacky and trying to be an attention whore by recreating her days of yore. she just looked desperate.

  25. RubySue says:

    Hasn’t Beyonce worn enough strapless fishtail gowns?? Did her people tell her that’s the only style that looks good on her, or what?

    J-Lo looks a little desperate, as usual. Her body look great, she’s lost all the baby weight, but she didn’t need to wear that to prove it.

    @voodoobetty – I couldn’t find Melissa Gilbert anywhere…does she look a lot different in the pic you’re referring to?

    @Baholicious – You nailed it! I had EXACTLY the same dress as the one Gyllenhaal is wearing back in 1986.

  26. vdantev says:

    Who invited Lisa Rinna and her 150 PSI lip inflations ?

  27. Blanche says:

    Angie’s dress really accentuates her thick waist.

  28. PJ says:

    Kate Winslet was my favorite, elegant and simple, with interesting details. I loved Drew Barrymore’s and Cameron Diaz’s dresses–beautiful, feminine, fun.

    It looked like Eva Longoria was sewn into that red dress, but it looked fantastic on her.

    Angelina looked thicker around the waist, but I think it was due to the cut of the dress. She is curvy from the bust to the waist, and this gathered fabric at the waistline didn’t follow the curves of her body.

    Selma Hayack looked great in that dress. No one else there could’ve looked anywhere near as good in it, except for Scarlett Johansen.

  29. e.marie says:

    Drew’s hair looks lik she got fucked and decided to put on hair spary after!

    Beyonce dress is way too small, i guess she didnt meet he deadline and decided to wear the dress anyway.

    I think J.Lo was tryin to piss her hubby off. I wouldnt wear a dress lik that married with kids

    and I love Eva’s red dress (( although it make her boobs look funny))

  30. e.marie says:

    *hair spray

  31. voodoobetty says:

    Melissa Gilbert is in the 13th row down, first pic. Or 5th row up from the bottom, first pic

  32. paris herpes says:

    I thought Drew looked really cute. Renee’s a MESS…I don’t even think the dress is nice either. JLo’s dress was totally inappropriate actually, why was she there anyway? To make herself relevant, she looked like a tramp!

  33. paris herpes says:

    Beyonce totally sausaged herself again into that dress…she needs to try a new style, one that will let her walk around like a normal person! The dress is WAY too small and her boobies are trying to escape from it…which is surprising since Beyonce doesn’t strike me as having as big of boobs as say Salma Hayek. Anne Hathaway is so insanely pale white…as white as her big teefs! Is she okay?!

  34. CB Rawks says:

    I hate the tiny and unnecessary belts on so many of the gowns. They are just wrong. What’s next, multiple zippers everywhere that don’t actually unzip?

    Drew Barrymore looked awesome! You screwed that up, Celebitchy.

    Yoicks, Rachel Griffiths apparently made off with some sheets from a trashy Vegas hotel. She said she was aiming for comfort, I guess that explains it.

  35. Sleepy says:

    My favorites were:
    Cameron Diaz – I just loved the color and playfulness of it;
    Drew Barrymore gorgeous cut/color but her hair totally distracted from it;
    Eva Longoria – Wow! I thought she just looked stunning. She fit into that dress perfectly and she always looks good in red;
    Sandra Bullock – Great dress. I liked the one should and thought the bottom detail was beautiful also. Very Feminine;
    Kate Beckinsale – loved the white and simplicity of her dress. I think she has looked great lately.

    I think the only reason Lisa Rinna was there is because she works for the TVGuide channel for their award show coverage. She also does their one-hour “Fashion Wrap” special since Joan and Melissa Rivers are no longer doing it.

  36. DD says:

    Kate Winslet looked stunning head to toe. Anne’s dress was nice too. AJ looked much better in the face than at the critic’s choice, but seriously she nabbed Pitt when she used to dress all sexy. The anorexia is making her old and gross thats probably why she keeps choosing to dress like a frumpy old housewife. That look isn’t going to keep Brad and his wandering penis around.

  37. RubySue says:

    @voodoobetty – Looks like Rachel Griffiths to me…I dunno…

  38. CB Rawks says:

    That is Rachel Griffiths.

  39. frewt says:

    CB, notice the theme amongst your best dressed – strapless satin columns!

    Penelope Cruz gets my vote for best dressed and Kristin Scott Thomas for worst.

    I also think Drew looks gorgeous and sexy.

  40. Clarise says:

    I thought Cameran Diaz looked pretty in pink. Loved that dress and color on her. It was the best I’ve seen her look in a long time.

  41. Trashaddict says:

    Rules to be learned: never, never, NEVER wear beige.
    You can be pretty or you can breathe and walk (hence Angelina’s gown – the other women I suspect were propped up on boards during the ceremony.
    NO belts, I agree with Rawks.
    If you don’t have the chest to fill out the top of the gown, skip it (note to Kyra Sedgwick, and apologies to Christina Applegate, that rule does not apply to you for being brave enough to wear strapless after your surgery!).
    Ann Hathaway could play a dual role in a vampire film as the vampire or the victim: her skin looks like it has never seen sunlight, or like the blood has been totally drained out of her body. At least she’ll never get skin cancer.
    Don’t wreck a nice dress with a muscle-man pose (maybe Kate Winslet looked better in the other photos).
    If you’re playing dress-up, go full-tilt boogie. If Drew wears a dress that’s a cross between Betsy McCall and Marilyn Monroe, she should go with the “I just had sex and rolled out of bed” hair. I thought it was GREAT. She comes from good old Hollywood stock and was having fun with it.

  42. Ter says:

    I covet Eva Mendes’s necklace, I’m a fool for tourquoise and silver, I think that is what it was.
    Drew – was gorg – I can’t decide on the hair.
    Angie – WAS meh, which translates to boring
    I liked Sandra Bullocks dress but the gathering on the bottom started to be a bit much for me but her figure was highlighted very well in it
    Everytime I see Miley now I feel that she has no true parental guidance in her life. Sad!
    Lisa Rinna – WTF
    Kate Winslet – was stunning and her gown was just short of that
    Beyonce – needs to be told to diversify as does JLo, but I’ve never liked Beyonce’ and JLo for me now is just a famewhore
    Ann Hathaway -looked too thin
    Eva Longoria – I just don’t get her appeal
    I thought Penelope Cruz looked fabulous
    Rumer Willis – Not understanding that either
    Robert Downey – Too spikey
    Blair Underwood – Just right
    Colin – Back to being hot but the gum chewing and jaw machinations were a distraction – On the plus side, his speech was touching and full of soul searing truth

  43. My2Cents says:

    JLo-Muffin Top, Poor choice of outfit, bad bronze job, rolly-polly back fat.

    Angelina-Gorgeous and yet so simple. Stunning woman. Figure appropriate dress.

    Hathaway-Awfully pale and sickly looking. Can’t believe she won a Critics Choice Award.

    Cate Winslett- Usually gets it right. Annoying acceptance speech.

  44. Ned says:

    How about the best and worst Botox and plastic surgery list?

    I am sure Angelina would successfully get into the “too much Botox” category.

    Maggie Gyllenhaal should not be allowed on the red carpet.

    Drew chose a bad color. I’m not even getting into the hair thing.

    Kate’s makeup and hair was flawless. Actually most of the women there got great makeup this year.

  45. Kim says:

    I love Eva Longhoria’s gown, simple but beautiful. Maybe it is prejudice but AJ’s gown was the worst dress for me. If Renne Zelwegger had worn it, she would have been called worst dressed. It is not red carpet at all.

    I agree Maggie Gylenhaal should stay off the red carpet, she is the least glamourous celeb ever. No dress can change that.

  46. pak31 says:

    Angelina Jolie may be a nice person but gawd is she UGLY. White, pasty, with bug eyes and fish lips. I just can’t even look at her. I only say this cause I can’t see how people say she is gorgeous.

  47. Whitey Fisk says:

    I’m surprised, it looks like nobody has mentioned Blake Lively yet…that is the most astonishingly ill-fitting dress I have ever seen.

    Drew looks pretty, but appears to have time-traveled to the morning AFTER the awards.

    J Lo once again takes us to a whole new level of tacky.

    It pains me to say this, but Angelina’s look was disappointing. I’ll keep telling myself that she has a lot on her plate and choosing a dress wasn’t a priority.

    Kate Winslet is always just lovely.

    Tater, tater, tater. How many times do I have to tell you – you’d look fantastic in a burqa!

  48. Ned says:

    I agree that Angelina’s dress was pretty awful, given it’s main purpose was to hide her anorexic frame and therefore it was pretty shapeless.

    The trashy tattoos complete the “look”.

  49. NotBlonde says:

    Kate Winslet: boring

    Drew Barrymore: gorgeous dress. I looked at it and just fawned like a little girl. I love dresses that look like updates of fashion from other eras but modern. I would wear that in a half a second…if I could afford it and actually had occasion to wear it 😛

    Eva Mendes: What on earth is happening at her waist? It’s like the designer made the dress in a size 20 and then cut it down to fit her and then stuffed all the leftover fabric into the “belt”.

    Angelina Jolie: boring and ugly. The cut sucks. You can get a dress that hides a flabby post-baby tummy that is much more flattering. She looks like she’s wearing an XXXL tank top tucked into a skirt. And with the way she was posing, the skirt pulled around her midsection, highlighting her slightly flabby tummy. You don’t have to do an empire waist but that dress was just hideous.

    J.Lo: Trashy.

    Megan Fox: Trashy.

    Beyonce: WAY too tight. She looked like she couldn’t breathe. And no, she doesn’t have big tits, they’ve just been shoved and squished so badly that all there is of her breasts is about to spill over the top.

    Renee Zellweger: Hot. Tranny. Mess.

  50. jmflynny says:

    I loved Drew…she conforms to nobody’s standard but her own and the dress was beautiful and she looked an individual.

    Not shown above, Melissa Gilbert. I wonder if someone is confusing her with Rachel Griffiths?

    Also not shown above, Anna Pacquin(sp). Her dress was pretty although nothing special, but she has really turned out to be a beautiful young woman. And, thank God, she didn’t go the cookie-cutter route and have her front gap filled. She is far more unique, as was Lauren Hutton, for that very same feature.

  51. tigerlille says:

    I think Drew looks beautiful, absolutely stunning in her grey tinted, powder blue dress – what a lovely hue for her to wear. I don’t normally like the type of hair do she was wearing, but it was perfect for the dress and for her face – she looks fabulous in it! And Drew does not usually dress well in public.

    Lovely Angelina looks like hell. I hope there is no basis for this, but I have suspected for a few months that she is pregnant again. Please God, let me be wrong!

    I’ve heard that Anne Hathaway is being dressed by Rachel Zoe for these events. What ever, she is wearing much more interesting clothes lately; the blue of the dress she is wearing is perfect for her pale, pale white skin tone, and I often see her in dresses that show off her long, long slender legs.

    Selma Hayek is incredibly beautiful but the dress she is wearing is all wrong for her. It should be worn by a willowy woman; on Selma, she looks like she was cut off at the knees.
