Ruth Negga in Louis Vuitton at the Golden Globes: the best LV look ever?

God, I wish Ruth Negga was a bigger contender for Best Actress. I will burn the place down if she doesn’t get an Oscar nomination, but I wish she was in the conversation for actual awards, you know? Because look at this dress! This is a winner’s dress. Several women wore Louis Vuitton at last night’s Golden Globes, but Negga was by far the winner. She wore the best LV and I have zero shade for it. Like, do I think the zipper down the front is a strange design element? Sure. Do I think the dress makes her look like she’s got robot boobs? Yes. But it totally works. She looks amazing.

Not so amazing? Sophie Turner in Louis Vuitton. This is a good example of why I dislike LV’s current line so much. Why would you do this to a lovely young woman? So unflattering. Also: isn’t it interesting that Game of Thrones was in no part of the conversation last night for awards? They didn’t win anything for arguably their best season.

And finally, here’s Civil War Ghost Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton. I’ll say something nice: I think it’s sweet that she still attends these things with her BFF Busy Phillips (Busy’s wearing Stella McCartney). Something not so nice? Michelle’s dress is awful. It’s an awful thing to do to a Civil War ghost. Also: I love that Michelle lost the award to Viola Davis. Please, keep doing this, awards shows.

    What does “Civil War ghost” mean? I’m not seeing the connection to Michelle Williams unless its a dig at her outfit but that seems like a stretch?

    • Aoife says:

      “Also: I love that Michelle lost the award to Viola Davis. Please, keep doing this, awards shows.”
      Really hating on Michelle today!

    • Brittney Buckley says:

      I assume it’s the dress, the ribbon choker, the pale skin, AND the white hair. “Civil War ghost” is spot on.

    • librakitty says:

      I was wondering the same thing….Civil War ghost? Seems negligent and racist to me, but please, correct me if I’m missing something. There seems to be a lot of negativity coming from Celebitchy today. Enough to make consider finding a new gossip website.

      • Bridget says:

        Do you even know what “negligent” and “racist” mean?

      • librakitty says:

        Yes Bridget, I do. Negligent means to be careless, and for a website that is sensitive to race and women’s issues, I find the “civil war ghost” comment to be just that. If CB would have used that term to describe a person of color’s shade of skin, would that be okay? No, probably not.

        The silly part is I’m not usually offended by much, and have a tendency to roll my eyes at people who are. For some reason though, this really irritated me.

    • Melanie says:

      Civil War Ghost was spot on! I laughed out loud! Nothing to interpret, why are you guys reading into this? The Colonel Sanders choker is just the icing on the cake of this sad look 😂

  2. Don't kill me I'm French says:

    I like Negga’s look because it looks edgy,confortable,classy and she doesn’t look in costume.In clear she looks at ease

    Williams’stylist must hate her

    • Hannah says:

      You know what is so weird? Michelle is a LV advertising girl, she should have the first pick on any of their dresses and every award season LV gives their best dresses for someone else but her. At least this time they decided to give the worst to Sophia, it is really fucked up.

      • Bridget says:

        What makes you think that Michelle didn’t choose this dress? She’s been an LV girl forever. She’s nominated. This is totally in line with her style.

    • Kori says:

      But Williams doesn’t do that kind of dress. Sophie Turner may be spitting nails though. She would’ve looked great in it. Though I don’t hate hers *ducking*

  3. Lucy says:

    Let me answer that: YES.

  4. Jegede says:

    Gorgeous woman.

  5. Maria says:

    it is also Ruth’s styling and her general attitude that elevates the outfit.

    Michelle Williams melts into the wallpaper.

  6. BangersandMash says:

    Whats up with her face? It looks different around the eyes

  7. ElleBee says:

    Ruth’s dress is shimmery but not glam to me…how? She’s a stunning woman however

    Sophie…..nvm

  8. msd says:

    I love Ruth Negga’s face so much that I’m willing to give the robot boobs a pass. It feels 1920’s to me, like Josephine Baker if she’d starred in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.

    • Louise177 says:

      I said this on another post but she looks so 1920’s. I love her features probably because they’re unusually.

    • dotdotdot says:

      Ruth Negga = Josephine Baker in “Metropolis”
      ^
      SOMEBODY MAKE THIS MOVIE PLEASE!!!

    • detritus says:

      This is much better hair too, I did not like that Michelle Williams inspired twee nonsense from the other day, but I do love this styling.
      The zipper could go, but she’s channelling Baker like whoa. Her eyes, so expressive. Makeup is on point too.

  9. Aminah says:

    I just don’t get Louis Vuitton. Like, at all. Beautiful women in atrocious dresses.

    • ichsi says:

      Yes. It makes no sense to me either. I absolutely love both Ruth and Sophie and they’re both SO beautiful but these dresses… Ruth can work pretty much everything, no matter how weird but this dress does nothing for her and it’s simply not worthy. If you HAD to put Sophie’s dress on someone she would be the best choice, but I don’t get who designed this and thought, ‘yes, the is a good idea, this is great’. And I won’t even comment on the catastrophe that is Michelle’s dress.

  10. Aiobhan Targaryen says:

    Ruth looks amazing here. I think she might be one of the best dressed for the evening so far.

    Sophie’s dress is fun too. I don’t care so much for the batwing/dolman sleeves, but the dress is original and it stood out next to the other dresses on the carpet.

    Busy looks better than Michelle. She usually does.

  11. Diana B says:

    I so don’t like neither of these dresses. They are all ugly in my eyes.

  12. Lennox says:

    That bow on Michelle Williams’s neck makes me unreasonably angry.

  13. Locke Lamora says:

    Michelle was my favourite look of the night. The dress is amazing, I adore the choker and her hair and makeup were on point.

    Ruth looked great also.

  14. PHAKSI says:

    Nah. The dress makes Ruth look stumpy and short

  15. Fiorella says:

    I like Ruth’s dress too. She also has a lot of makeup ( maybe not extra but quite noticeable). That is not the right hair colour for m, but more makeup may have helped. Loathe the choker! I mean if Michelle chooses hair and choker like that maybe LV first choice can’t help her anyways. On the bad dress, I think I’d like it if they left off the karate belt.

  16. Lucy2 says:

    I like Ruth’s too, and for LV it’s great.
    I kind of like Busy’s also but none of the rest.

  17. Meow says:

    Ruth is a QUEEN. Love love love her.

  18. Iris says:

    Hm.. I can’t stop staring at Michelle’s pictures. I don’t hate it. I’m sort of intrigued by it, on a whole (if I squint my eyes and ignore the fabric)

  19. Bluesky says:

    Ruth Negga, so beautiful. She reminds me of Josephine Baker.

  20. I Choose Me says:

    I don’t love it except for the colour but she’s wearing the hell out of it that’s for sure. Also I’m developing a serious girl crush. Her face! I could look at her face all day.

  21. Jenny says:

    Why should Viola ALWAYS win the award? What if another actress has a better performance? Viola is amazing but seems like a bitchy comment.

    • Chinoiserie says:

      Exactly. She is a thing right now with “all the awards for her attitude”, there is always someone that people feel is “due” or underappriciated but I just find it obnoxious.

    • Antigone says:

      Viola was great in Fences and really deserved to win. Actually, i’m surprised that her performance was in the supporting actress category-it seemed more like a leading role to me.

  22. Moxie Remon says:

    At least with Marc Jacobs things were more wearable, although Ruth is absolutely striking.

  23. Anon says:

    These are hideous! Ruth’s dress looks like something that would be in a Delia’s catalogue from 1997! Puke!

  24. Chaine says:

    Sophie’s dress=Project Runway team challenge

  25. gene123 says:

    My beautiful, sweet, vintaged face Ruth, you deserve all the love and all the awards. You make a sequined robot dress look expensive and fashionable. We are luck you grace us with your presence. In Negga’s name, Amen.

  26. Kori says:

    I almost choked on my skittle at ‘Civil War Ghost’ lol!!!

  27. QQ says:

    SO Ok Full Disclosure I’m High But The way “Civil War Ghost” Michelle Williams Took me right the f*ck Out LMMFAO Oh Dear Jesus! ( My Bf Said last Night: “why is that color in her head Oh Man that’s.. OH Man”

  28. Marianne says:

    At least Michelle tried something different from what she usually wears.

  29. Beckysuz says:

    Ruth killed it. She has the attitude to pull off that dress without it looking costume-y….i just love her. The others no no no

  30. Abbess Tansy says:

    Ruth and Busy were both great, fitted well, just gorgeous. Not really feeling Michelle’s look, but I kinda want to like it. It feels like something is missing with the dress.

  31. Loganski says:

    I think Ruth’s style is fierce! She has such a way of carrying herself that makes everything look like its supposed to. Such attitude and charisma.

  32. LaDiabla says:

    “Civil war ghost” LOL…She does look like she could be Charlie Hunnam’s little sis in Cold Mountain. Just terrible. What is that Colonel Sander’s tie choker? I mean…..

    Ruth looks fierce and amazing.

  33. Pandy says:

    Busy has the best dress, but I love anything shiny usually, so I really like Ruth’s as well. Michelle looks like she needs a series of facials. And a stylist.

  34. Val says:

    LOVE Ruth and that dress! Gorgeous…reminds me of something out of the Met Manus x Machina collection. It would have totally fit at this year’s Met Ball.
