Golden Globe Fashion Fails

The Golden Globes delivered a lot of fail this year, and not just with the awards. After the hangover subsides, these people really need to fire their stylists:

The Shower Curtains

Drapes can make bitchin’ evening and sportswear, as Scarlett O’Hara and the Von Trapp kids, respectively, can attest. However, as a rule, I’d steer clear of shower curtains. Unfortunately, my advice comes too late for Michelle Williams and Heidi Klum.

The Falcon Crest/Dynasty

I will fight this 80s revival tooth and nail until it goes back to the awful decade whence it came. I cannot let pass without redress the proliferation of severe shoulder pads or the “cover-up-the-track-marks” sleeves this year. Wake me up when they bring back the 90s.

The Mad Women

No, not Helena Bonham Carter (we’ll get to her soon, though). I’m talking about the ladies of Mad Men. How is it they all can look so stunning on the show and be such hot messes most of the time on the red carpet?

Elisabeth Moss’s dress is almost a not-fail, except that weird panel in the middle, and the rococo-boobs, which never look good, designers, so please stop.

January Jones said she picked this Versace dress off the runway, but I’m pretty sure it’s actually a set decoration from Burlesque.

Oh, Christina Hendricks. I want so much for you to look as stunning as you are. I cross my fingers and hope and pray each time that you’ll find the right dress, and once or twice my prayers have been answered, but this was just a big crimson tide of sadness. And you should really punch whomever did your hair. They’ll thank you for it some day.

Fails that Defy Classification

christina aguilera 2011 golden globes 525x778 Golden Globe Fashion Fails

Christina Aguilera has the worst stylist in Hollywood. Here she is in another dress cut all wrong for her that makes her look extremely bottom heavy…and 40. There would be nothing wrong with that if she were 40, but shit-goddamn, people. She is starting to look like a drag impersonation of herself.

I know I said to wake me up for the 90s revival, but I was kinda hoping we could leave the Madonna-underwear-as-outerwear behind.

helena bonham carter golden globes 525x714 Golden Globe Fashion Fails

Helena Bonham Carter looks like a Goth Ole Opry star. However, I may have to give her a Tilda Swinton Pass. When someone is clearly so eccentric and I-don’t-give-a-fuck as those two, at a certain point I just step back, golf clap and say, “you go, you freaky bitch you.”

So, while the rest of the blogs will probably say HBC was worst dressed last night, I think they should maybe take another long hard look at this:

julianne moore wtf are you wearing 525x765 Golden Globe Fashion Fails

Let’s focus in on the top:

julianne moore golden globes 2011 525x494 Golden Globe Fashion Fails

The color is terrible, yes, but that ROGUE SLEEVE. It is eating her jewelry. It’s going for the clutch next, I just know it! Seriously, so so so fug.

Surely these are the most egregious errors of the evening, but who else made your list?

    Call me crazy, but I liked January Jones’ dress. She has the body for it, and while it might not be the right color and/or style for the event in question, it’s really cool looking.

    Christina Hendricks will never top that awesome emerald green dress she wore to the Emmys a few years ago. It was a revelation.

    I’d add Lea Michele to this list. That big attention-grabbing pink thing wasn’t working for her.

  • ljpock

    Looking thru the pictures today I am shocked at how many fashion fails there were. Did everyone’s stylist go on vacation, or are they all just in on one big practical joke?

    Christina Hendricks – I will personally give a pass because she is just so damn hot…if the shoulder ruffles would have just been about 1/2 the size that would have been a spot on win because the rest of it is divine on her IMO.

    HBC – agree – pass on the fact that when you are at the point that you were mismatched shoes if you are beyond the normal pass/fail rules.

    Emma Stone – fail – A) I like her better as a red head B) It looked like she was wearing a nude body suit or something.

    And yes, please, for the love of whatever deity you worship – let the 80s stay in the 80s.

  • Shannon R

    There were so many fugly dresses last night, I can’t even think of who was “Best Dressed”.

  • Gigi

    What material is Julianne Moore’s dress made from?? It’s already wrinkled from the limo ride over!!

  • http://www.meangirlgarage.com jules

    Helena…… There are no words.

  • babs

    Can we just stop putting HBC on any list other than the Tilda and HBC list? I love seeing what they wore, but not on a put down or props list. They defy.

  • http://www.themomslant.com Julie

    HBC is wearing *two* *different* *shoes*. Toddlers can get away with that. Only toddlers.

    I will never understand why women with such gorgeous bodies insist on draping them in such unflattering fabrics, in such unflattering styles.

    The only person that consistently dresses worse than Christina is Angelina, but at least Christina smiles once in a while.

  • Lynne

    Christina H’s dress would have worked without all the ruffles. When you have that much volume up top, adding ruffles on top of all that just doesn’t work.

    HBC can do whatever the heck she wants.

  • AmyC65

    What is Christina Aguilera having done to her face? She looks awful. So puffed up?

    I love, love, loved Emma Stone’s dress – even though I didn’t know who she was till I paused and stared closely.

    January Jones looked like a lampshade, and the odd fringey flap in front of her crotch is disconcerting. There’s a fine line between “you CAN wear that” and “you SHOULD” wear that.

    Clare Danes was HOT! So sophisticated and nicely different.

  • AmyC65

    And Annette Bening looked like she styled her hair with an egg beater. But Warren Beatty? Hasn’t aged in about 15 years.

  • liline

    Amber you are by far the funniest blogger at mamapop. You make me laugh all the time.PS: sorry for the others who can also deliver just not as often as you do :)

  • Suzy Q

    I wore two different colored shoes once. On Halloween.

    I didn’t see any one dress last night that I loved. Sadface.

    • http://snarkyamber.tumblr.com Snarky Amber

      Did you go as Helena Bonham Carter?

      • Suzy Q

        No, I think she stole the idea from me. Perhaps I should sue…

    I (may be the only one who) really liked Olivia Wilde’s look. And Sandra’s Bullock’s hair. But everyone you listed, yes. Totally. I think you got it all.

  • Mona

    I was really happy to see Leighton Meester found the Gunnysack dress I wore as flower girl to my sister’s wedding in 1982. I thought it was gone forever!

  • http://www.rebeccaisfabulous.blogspot.com rebecca

    I think HBC actually told Alexa Chung that her look this year was inspired by her daughter…

    Anne Hathaway’s dress looked like one those sucker-bottom bath mats. and Julianna Moore’s dress was just…wrong.

  • Rebekah

    I was worried I would be the only one hating on Juliane Moore’s dress! I always feel like my style tastes are way off base from the popular, but that dress is just awful – and wrinkled!

    Also, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE and respect Tina Fey, but her dress and overall styling were terrible – velvet, too tight, weird ruffle faux-sleeves?!?, bad hair – she looked aged as well.

    Did anyone else feel like Mandy Moore looked like she was going to her senior prom? Even if it’s couture, it’s ALL wrong.

    Lastly, I can’t stop thinking that Anne Hathaway is channeling just a little bit of Dustin Hoffman a la “Tootsie”. Is that just me?

    Personally, I adored Olivia Wilde’s dress! It was a great interpretation of the cosmos/stars without appearing too literal. I would have liked to see her hair up in loose curls – like a sexy, messy up-do. It would’ve nailed the look so much better.

    • Becky

      Olivia W’s dress was really cool. I agree.

  • Becky

    I actually like Michelle Williams’ dress; but it should be a knee-length sundress with cute little sandals. I would totally wear it that way. The print is cute/casual. It is not a formal print.

    And seriously, Angelina? that dress? B O R I N G!!!!!!!!!!! You’re Angelina Jolie!! HELLO!

    “It’s eating her jewelry! It’s going for the clutch next …” HA. Oh, Amber that just made me laugh and laugh. thank you.

  • Natalie

    I have to disagree about Anne Hathaway’s gown. It was not a throw back to the 1980′s but to the 1940′s. I think her dress was gorgeous and refreshing. I tend to find her completely annoying, but I give her props for taking such a risk.

    I am still on the fence about January Jones.. I bit vulgar.. and the black patent leather shoes… eugh. The rest of the madmen ladies were a mess.

    I find Angelina to be generally unlikable and matronly… but I have to admit.. I do not hate this gown. The color is right on. And… maybe I enjoyed a little too much of the Lawrence Welk Show when I was a kid! hahah
