Golden Globes '25

Janelle James in Christian Siriano

Awards season has officially begun!

Thank you, Golden Globes, for gracing our various screens last night. I, for one, was delighted. So much so, I decided to blow off the dust on this blog and do a red carpet fashion recap. 

The host this year was Nikki Glaser, famous for appearances on a number of tv roasts. She brought a lot of the same vibes to the show and I gotta say, she did great. I genuinely laughed and gasped throughout her opening number. And prior to the show was, of course, the "esteemed" E! red carpet. Big up to Zuri Hall and Heather McMahan for being great hosts and mixing up the questions for a bit of interest. Giuliana Rancic and Laverne Cox were NOT missed. At all. Like, at all. Please don't ever bring them back. Thank you.

Congratulations to Zoe Saldana, Shōgun and its two leads, Baby Reindeer and its two leads, Kieran Culkin, Sebastian Stan, Demi Moore, and Jeremy Allen White (The Bear is NOT a comedy, by the way. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Great show, though.)

Alrighty, fashion time.

Pamela Anderson in Oscar de la Renta
I'm loving the resurgence of Miss Pamela.
And this is a prime example of not using the excuse of being 'makeup free' to half-ass a look.
From the hair to the chic vintage inspired black dress + gloves combo, Pamela looks great. 
Colman Domingo in Valentino
He has quickly become one of my favorite best dressed men on the red carpet.
Yay to mixed prints!
What's crazy, though, is this look is just okay. Maybe putting him at such high standards is a bit unfair. But hey, he's worn better. 
Cynthia Erivo in Louis Vuitton
Ah. The lady who loves fashun.
This is pretty.
Yes, the middle "peplum" is too much. Looks removeable, too. Which kinda cheapens the dress.
But overall? It's pretty.
Elle Fanning in Balmain
Those damn Fanning sisters love themselves some nude.
Hair and makeup, A1.
The more I look at the dress, the more I like...?
Cause at first, the animal print threw me off.
But now? It works.
Nude coloring and all.
Felicity Jones in Prada
She looks like she got lit up. Straight up. The dress got bullet holes.
Bullet holes and glass fragments, apparently.
Her hair and makeup aren't helping, either.
Eddie Redmayne in Valentino
Wearing prints on the red carpet will always garner brownie points from me.
His suit is a smidgen too tight. The shirt is giving priest.
In fact, the look could've been elevated if the shirt was in a bold color instead of a color that not only matches the print but also his skin tone.
Zoe Saldana in Saint Laurent
When she appeared on the red carpet, I gasped.
Cause was I seeing a deep chocolate sequin dress with a chocolate overcoat?
Immediately my best dressed of the night.
When she appeared on stage after winning Best Supporting Female Actor, I sighed.
It was a black sequin dress, all along.
No longer my best dressed of the night.
Is it brown or is it black, dammit?!
And the necklace wasn't needed.
Jeremy Strong in Loro Piana
What in the Jamiroquai world is going on here?
I had myself a good hearty laugh when Jeremy popped up on my screen.
Cause, whaaaa?
Well, the color is nice.
Zendaya in Louis Vuitton
Another person who knows what she's doing on the red carpet.
The hair ages her but I understand why it was needed.
With Law Roach (her forever stylist), there's always a story to tell. From head to toe.
She's worn better. But can't deny she's looks great.
I peep the wedding ring, too.

What's some more? Let's rewind: Golden Globes '15
