Naomi Watts in metallic Fendi at the Golden Globes: elegant?

Naomi Watts is one of my favorites on the red carpets and at this year’s Globes she did not disappoint. She walked the carpet with her new husband, Billy Crudup, and I am rooting for them. She was in a phenomenal one shoulder sequin metallic Fendi gown. Naomi was a presenter this year and Billy was nominated for Best Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Series for his work on The Morning Show, which went to Matthew Macfadyen.

Christina Ricci was also in Fendi, in a netted nude gown with smattered sequins. I think this washes her out and that she would look so much better in a darker jewel tone. Christina was nominated for Best Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Series, for her work in Yellowjackets, which went to Elizabeth Debicki for The Crown. I’m all caught up on Yellowjackets and Christina really embodies that character. She can act! I am kind of mad the last season though and I don’t think I’ll keep watching when it comes back later this year.

Presenter Amanda Seyfried was in a black Armani gown with a purple sequin bow across the bustline. This dress is fine and very holiday adjacent, but I noticed during the ceremony that her makeup was pretty bad. At least it photographs better than it looks on camera. How do you take a beautiful woman and do this to her makeup? It’s like they tried to match it too much to her outfit and need to tone it down. Some of the best makeup looks last night were understated. Sometimes I wonder whether I would have the nerve, as a celebrity, to tell makeup artists and stylists “no, this looks awful” or if I would just make the best of it.

    Wait…what? When did Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup get married?

    • Bettyrose says:

      IKR? I only found out because I saw him in a one man play recently and a friend Googled his bio and was like “he’s married to Naomi Watts.” Wut? BTW He is a brilliant actor. TMS Doesn’t do him justice.

      • orangeowl says:

        I cannot stand his character in TMS, he was almost unbearable to watch (clearly I’m in the minority!). I agree it doesn’t do him justice. The show is so over the top that I couldn’t get through season 2.

    • Barbie1 says:

      I’m so glad she found love again. How great.

    • lucy2 says:

      That caught me off guard too, I missed that, or forgot!
      I like her gown a lot.

    I like Christina’sI gown. think her hair could be a bit lighter but if the dress was a different or darker color it wouldn’t have looked so elegant.

    • Josephine says:

      I like it as well. It makes the most of her gorgeous figure. She looked fantastic, and I love that for her.

  3. Becks1 says:

    Amanda looked sick and it was just because of her makeup. It does look better here in these pics but when we were watching last night I said to my husband, how could they make her look like she’s on death’s door? It was such a bad look for her. Also not a fan of the bow but barely noticed it bc of the awful makeup.

    • bananapanda says:

      On camera presenting I thought she looked absolutely bug-eyed. It was like “oh that eye makeup did her dirty”

      • Smart&Messy says:

        The eye make up is bad, but the lips are awful too. Like she just came in aftwr walking on a cild windy day and she had no lipbalm in her pocket.

    • dj says:

      OMG! I’m so glad I was not the only one that noticed that AS (who is a stunning natural beauty) MUA really screwed her over. She looked like a panda. It was so bad on the broadcast last night! These photos are better but not totally.

  4. Seraphina says:

    I agree on Christina’s gown, I am here to say I think she is beautiful. That is all.

  5. orangeowl says:

    Sometimes I think Naomi must have been miserable in her previous relationship because since she and Liev split, she’s only gotten more beautiful, imo. Love all the gowns here. I don’t mind Amanda’s makeup here but I didn’t see her in motion.

  6. Pulplove says:

    Naomi looks stunning, the hairdo and earrings underline this gorgeous dress perfectly. And she and Billy look adorable together, a perfect fit in the acting department as well. He’s great on The Morning Show, he manages to somehow convey some shred of humanity to a character very difficult to bear.

    Love Christina, the dress would be fine if it wasn’t so sheer, making her skin-colored underwear a distraction from the whole look.

    Naomi looks lovely.
