I’ve always felt that Mila Kunis is a real standout beauty amongst a seemingly endless sea of Hollywood cookie-cutter women. Unfortunately, her award show looks are often overwhelming and make her look pretty but just like everyone else too. At last night’s Globes, Mila selected a Christian Dior gown (that certainly could’ve used more boob support — the girls looked inexplicably saggy and there was too much of a faux sheer effect) along with a matching Dior clutch and Cartier earrings. The combination is so, so disappointing. Mila usually has no problem bringing it at film premieres, so why does she choose to blend into the scenery on awards red carpets?

Mila’s hair and makeup are also sadly misguided. That hair would’ve looked gorgeous in loose curls or waves. It’s almost as if Mila’s trying very hard not to be noticed. Maybe she didn’t want Gerard Butler to pull a Timberlake while they were presenting together? Damn it, JT ruins everything.

Julianne Moore (also there to present) opted for basic black as well, but the effect was much different because she looked stunning. The dress was Chanel couture, and since Julianne often opts for misguided, gaudily-colored sacks, it’s really nice to see her in something more classic, form-fitting, and downright beautiful. Of course, she ran into another problem with the black though, which is that on an awards-show red carpet, the lack of standout color makes one blend in with the dudes.

The earrings are nice though and give a nice mini-burst of color, and Julianne’s hair looks beautiful in those loose waves. She probably could’ve gotten away with a slightly bolder makeup look though, which would’ve helped her stand out more on the carpet.

Julianne presented with Rob Lowe, and the two had the pleasure of dealing with a broken autocue. They both recovered well even if Rob’s hair also succeeded in weirding me out.
