I know it's late but...

Golden Globe opinions!

I feel that I've agreed with a lot of people, but have somehow also disagreed COMPLETELY on some celebs.

Now, one of my new goals is to gain a better understanding of men's fashion, because currently, yes, I can definitely spot a well-dressed man. But I feel I lack the passion and innate instinct when it comes to menswear that I have for women's apparel. Call me female, oops. That being said, I won't really touch on the males, besides maybe one that I actually had an opinion about. (Besides the obvious no's)

So, let's list some of my faves, that probably rank up there on anyone's lists.

I'm staring at my latest issue of Cosmo (while drinking wine, watching E! News, laying in bed in VS pajamas, and going between this page and Facebook, I'm literally a walking stereotype it's disgusting), and the cover girl is definitely one of my faves.

Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

Not only is her dress one of the night's top colors (Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie, and Elisabeth Moss all donned the evergreen hue), but it just looks great on her. She's definitely someone who everyone knows, but is just making her mark as a definitive A-lister with her role in "Black Swan" (which I haven't seen yet, but have heard great things). As she says in Cosmo, "I'm not famous; at best, I'm recognizable." I feel like that may change after this gown. While it sounds lame, I firmly believe in a dress making (or breaking) a career. Think Halle Berry in her sheer floral topped wine-colored Elie Saab gown when she was the first black female to win the Oscar Best Actress. Think J. Lo showing up next to P. Diddy in her deep-V (all the way to her belly button) Versace number that people are still talking about. The color works for Mila. The styling is beyond perfection. If her hair was down, it would complicate the intricate rouching. Any other wild jewelry would've taken away from the dress. Love it.

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta

Lea Michele had a lot to live up to after her gorgeous black ball gown from last year's awards, and this year she stepped up to the plate in this pink Oscar de la Renta number. I just think it's so age appropriate. Youthful, without being slutty, fashion-forward, without being over-the-top. I mainly love the turquoise ring she wears with it, I love unexpected color combinations.

Leighton Meester in Burberry Prosum

I HATED this dress from the moment she arrived on E!'s cameras. However, I looked again, and it actually grew on me. I loved the Jimmy Choo shoes instantly, I mean, platform + sparkles can win me over any day, and I had initially said if the dress lost the sleeves I'd like it more. But I realized, it IS Leighton, and she's not going to ever wear a run of the mill dress. The puffy sleeves add drama, as it did for many celebs that night (Angelina, Anne), and I think the styling helped this dress overall.

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein Collection

A lot of critics were mixed on this look. Honestly, I do prefer her as a redhead, but the creamy orange look works well with her new bleach blonde look. The spray tan is subtle, yet necessary to complement her hair shade and dress hue, and the minimalist look works great with a non-neutral color. The simple hairstyle goes well with it all, and she obviously has the bod to wear such a sleek, hugging dress. Good for her.

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang

How could you not like this? It shows off her bod in a great way. I won't say curves, because Hollywood's idea of curves is actually having a rack and a somewhat existence of hips. I guarantee she's tiny in real life. Anyway, if she would've worn black accessories, I would've hated it for the matchy-matchy reason, but obviously this is is just flawless. Her whole look is just utter bombshell, from the hair to the boobs to the jewelry to the make-up. Gorgeous.

Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive

Probably one of my utmost favorites. Even though it's a high neck with long sleeves, the cut-out back and sequin coverage add drama and sexiness. Plus, she just looks radiant. It's a very unexpected dress, which definitely always adds to the "it" factor. No one wants to see some typical red carpet gown. This is current. This is perfection. And it just makes me so happy that she came from some tween in desperate need of style in "Princess Diaries" to these kind of moments.

Eva Longoria in Zac Posen

Mixed reviews on this as well. I think it's a great black dress. Her titties look amazing! Plus, the cut is original, the pin adds some interest, and her neutral lip look with smoky eyes works nicely. It's classic, it's sexy, and she can pull off so many different looks.

January Jones in Versace

I think this is an awesome risk. The red is beautiful, but the risk is in the cut and how overtly sexy this is. It would've been too much with crazy jewels and smoky eyes, but the retro styling tones down the body-baring to create a great balance.


Almost..

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier

This would literally be on my best-dressed list if it wasn't for her hair. PUT IT UP! Why wear it down when it hides the sheer classiness of the neckline? With a low, loose updo, this would've been great!

Christina Hendricks in Romona Keveza

SO CLOSE. They said exactly what I was thinking on Fashion Police. If she put her hair up, it would've been fine! With a huge flower like that, why the hell would she wear her hair down. It competes, and pretty much blends right in. Ugh.

Megan Fox in Armani Prive

She's obviously beautiful, but the sparkles in this gown remind me of prom. It fits her nicely, but I just can't get over the fact that she should be giving a speech about why she should be Miss America 2011. Not that there's anything wrong with prom/pageant gowns (I love them!), but they're not meant for the red carpet.

Natalie Portman in Viktor & Rolf

It's not a heinous enough dress for me to completely hate it, but I can't really put my finger on it. I definitely hate that stem from the rose in the middle, but I also don't like the pink/red combo. She's a walking Valentine Day card. Especially with the overkill of the red bag and red shoes. If the dress were black or white, then it may have worked. If the bag was silver, maybe again. The necklace is kind of too overpowering as well. Meh, I don't really know. I just don't like it.

MY NO, AWFUL LIST. Ew.

Scarlett Johansson

Her hair is like the bride of Frankenstein. Her dress blends into her skin. Her hair color in its entirety is dull. The cut of the top of the dress is too breezy/old for her age. She just looks like hell, but I guess I would too if I just announced a split from hottie Ryan Reynolds.

Michelle Williams in Valentino Resort Collection

Even though this is meant for a resort, and it should obviously NOT be on the red carpet, I still would hate it. It's horrible! Why anyone would think that this works for an awards show is beyond me. There's a point where your personal style needs to meet the path of fashion for a fancy event, and she was way too in her own world. There's really nothing else to say.

Heidi Klum in Marc Jacobs

Okay Heidi, what happened to short little numbers to show off your obviously great legs? I mean, you're the judge of Project Runway, what the hell? This collection overall hasn't pleased me, and I understand she couldn't show up in the more acceptable gown that Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidman both wore in the latest issues of Glamour and Harper's Bazaar, respectively, but I'm sure there were better options out there. This is like the 70s threw up on her.

Christina Aguilera in Zuhair Murad

I've been hating on her lately. She's clearly beautiful, but why does she always just look so, blah? The top doesn't fit, making her look way large when she's obvs not, the hair is stiff, and her make-up is caked on. Come onnnnnnn!

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad

Okay, why people have been saying this look is good is beyond me. Yes, she looks stunning physically. Her make-up is amazing, but that's all I can say. The diamond cape is just plain weird and reminds me of some slutty communion. The dress underneath is boring. Her hair has that weird half-pony feeding into a full pony look that I'm pretty sure the majority of my second grade class rocked with pink scrunchies. The diamond cuff doesn't upgrade it, J. Lo, sorry. Nope.

Julianne Moore in Lanvin

All I can say: Awkward, old genie. Oops?

But overall, there were so many other fabulous looks, and a few other bombs. Can't wait for the SAGs and Oscars!
