Amongst A Sea OF Black Fury, A Fire Was Lit

On Sunday evening, the Golden Globes aired. Not much comment has been made on Seth Meyers performance, and in my opinion, he was perfection. He provided just the right balance of satire without being too over the top. Actually, I felt he should have had more air time. For my money, he's the best all around late night tv host.
Before I review the fashion, I have to ditto what the rest of the world was thinking- Oprah was inspiring and eloquent. (Trump should ask her to tutor him in oratory skills and vocabulary building.)This is someone who prepares, researches, and  practices speeches for days (not minutes) before she walks onto the stage. Her words expressed no divisiveness nor hate, and she made everyone feel that the future would be bright.
 Enough said-now some brief comments on the fashion of the night.


BEST DRESSED
  Jessica Biel-Beautiful Dior gown. Hair and Skin were magnificent. Perfect berry lip and smoky eye. Bulgari jewels (which were not my favorite).


  Alicia Vikander-While a bit chaste looking from the front, the Vuitton gown from the back was spectacular.


Claire Foy-Loved the Stella McCartney tuxedo.


Allison Janney-Dressed in Mario Dice (who?). Loved the dress detail. She looked amazing and her facial work is the best I have ever seen.


Halle Berry-WOW WOW WOW! At 51, this woman rocks it. Only she can get away with a black lace mini, and that face is beyond.


WORST DRESSED


Catherine Zeta Jones-Thought the Zuhair Murad gown was inappropriate for her age, the hair completely horrid, and I didn't like the Lorraine Schwartz earrings. Don't ask me why at 48, I didn't like this look for Catherine, but loved Halle Berry's short dress! 


Nicole Kidman-The high neckline and flutter sleeves didn't do it for me. Everyone's talking about her omission in her acceptance speech. She failed to mention the two adopted children she had with Cruise.


Christina Hendericks-She looked like she swallowed an elephant in the custom made Christian Siriano gown. So unflattering.....


Angelina Jolie-She always looks the same to me. Same gown, different year. Same hair, different year. The Versace gown was ill fitted and matronly. Jolie's looks like she could use some Zoloft.


Kate Hudson-Unflattering Valentino dress. Neckline too plunging. There was way to much side boobage. The headband was ridiculous! Like the Harry Winston necklace though!


Elizabeth Moss-Her performance in The Handmaid's Tale is truly exceptional. Her speech was one of the most powerful of the evening. But sue me, I really did not like this custom Dior dress on her. So unflattering - and so too, was her makeup and hair. That being said, she is one of the most amazing actresses of our time.


Emma Watson-couldn't get past those bad bangs. And the gown was pretty bad - a discarded Sally Field's Flying Nun costume.


FINAL THOUGHTS


Penelope Cruz looked sensational.
Jennifer Aniston's hair is way too blond and her face has too many fillers.
Giuliana Rancic's fake ponytail looked like it was procured from a horse's tail.
Hugh Jackman's wife looked like a drag queen (please forgive me).
Mariah Carey may very well be a man in drag (mea culpa again).
Dakota Johnson's Gucci gown was incredible. The back was AMAZING.
Sara Jessica Parker looked old. Remove the green eyeshadow and change your hair colorist.
Zoe Kravitz-simple, elegant, and oh my-those emerald earrings were the bomb!
Jessica Chastain-BEAUTIFUL!
Margot Robbie-every man's dream woman.
James Franco-he seemed reasonable normal at the globes. Where did his crazy go?
