There were also side cut-out's (it's Versace after all!!) highlighted by Swarovski hand-sewn crystal straps.  If I had one complaint, it would be that the make up was too severe. I understand trying to match the drama of the gown, but I think she would have been better served with a softer touch to the make up.

Actress Keira Knightley wore this dress at tonight's 2015 Golden Globes. The gown is a custom Chanel dress inspired by a look from the Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 collection. Keira, as you may remember, is after all, a Chanel spokesperson so she is contractually obligated to wear Chanel and mostly ONLY Chanel. The gown features a big ol' doily-like bib, an Empire cut accented by a black satin band, butterfly and fauna sequined appliques and three bottom doily-like tiers (please tell me doilies will NOT be the rage for 2015!). Thank goodness those sleeves from the runway look were taken out for this new version. And I can understand the Empire silhouette since Keira is a mom-to-be and expecting her first child. The gown supposedly took THIRTY people to make it (!) in only a week's time. She accented and styled the look with a butterfly wrist band and black clutch. 

While Keira's hair and makeup look nice, the dress, however, is a mess. I want to know the following: WHO ILL-ADVISED HER TO WEAR THIS??? There's nothing flattering, chic or remotely stylish about this. I can understand it in an episode of "Downton Abbey" in a 1924 Period piece but, in 2015 at the Golden Globes?? The best thing about it all is that butterfly wrist cuff. 

I have two theories on Keira and this choice of gown:

A) She didn't want to offend Karl Lagerfeld and wore it as opposed to creating tension and saying "Nope, I'm not wearing this!" or, 

B) Keira actually DID want to wear this (the Empire-cut/semi baby doll shape for her pregnant body) and somehow thought it was cute! 

If it is the latter, I am scared. What do guys think of this dress on Keira?   

"Girls" star Lena Dunham wore a red silk duchesses satin hi-lo gown from Zac Posen Spring 2015 collection. Dunham did say that it was funny to have her former babysitter (yes, Zac Posen was her babysitter--you know you are NYC/Manhattan Upper Class when Zac Posen was your babysitter! Lena's father is a well known painter and mother, a photographer and artist). Anyhow...back to Lena and this gown: I have to say this is one of the best red carpet looks I've seen from Lena in a while. The gown featured a high batteau neck, scooped back, hi-lo hemline and front torso and side seaming. The shape was loose (which I am sure made it more comfortable for her to wear).

Actress and "red carpet all-star" Lupita Nyong'o wore this lilac and ivory strapless gown from Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2014. And I have to say...this was a MISS for me. Since Lupita has been so PERFECT and on-point on the red carpet this past year that well, she was bound to have a "Ooopsie" moment. And so here it is, in my opinion. Now, about the gown, it's a completely handmade gown with hand-sewn fathered "petals" at the bustier and a very full silk chiffon bottom part. the gown looked great on the runway and flowed like a DREAM as the model worked the catwalk. Unfortunately, on Lupita it is sorta CLUNKY and fell flat and almost heavy. Dare I say, I feel as if she needed a crinoline or tulle petticoat underneath to give it some structure and life.

"Homeland" actress Claire Danes wore a very Boho-Chic gown from Valentino Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear and the design house's designers/creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. When I first saw this dress, I gasped "It's READY-TO-WEAR!" (as opposed to Haute Couture...or Custom!) Mon Dieu! That is sooooo RETRO and so 2005 for an actress to actually wear a Ready-to-Wear gown on the red carpet! (I hope you can tell I am being facetious...and a bit sarcastic as well!).

But back to the dress--it featured lots and lots of feathers sewn simultaneously with jeweled crystals and applique. From far away, one would never know those were feathers in the dress and instead it would just seem like a print or embroidery.

Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to not disappoint when it comes to bringing the DIVA factor up 1000% !!! J Lo wore a silver sequined handmade gown from Zuhair Murad haur Couture Fall/Winter 2014 collection. The gown had a plunging neckline (with a semi-modesty panel), a super high center front slit and... 

Drama Queen: A very dramatic exaggerated sleeve/cape. Only Jennifer Lopez could pull such a Diva gown like this off. On the red carpet--while being interviewed--she said that she was actually going to wear this gown for the American Music Awards but decided instead to save it for the Golden Globes. Must be nice to have the opportunity to "save" $100,000+ costing Haute Couture gowns.

I thought she looked FABULOUS in this gown. If there was any critique, I just wasn't a fan of the hair. It looked a bit 2004.

Actress Jessica Chastain (loved her in "Interstellar") went 1940s-like Hollywood Glam at the 2015 Golden Globes red carpet. She wore a copper-colored silk halter gown from Atelier Versace. The gown features a plunging neckline, knotted twist at the center front waist and hand gathered detail...

Actress Allison Williams of HBO's "Girls" and NBC's Peter Pan Live, wore a strapless red sequined silk organza gown from Armani Prive. The gown featured many, many tiers of organza--all hand sewn over a base skirt and with thousands of Swarovski crystals, all hand applied as well (of course!) on top of the gown. On the Fall 2014 Haute Couture Paris runway, the gown was shown with a black netting veil with chenille "paillettes". Thank goodness Allison (and her stylist) chose not to include this veil for the 2015 Golden Globes red carpet.

I thought Allison looked quite beautiful in this gown and I also liked the hair and super smokey makeup. What do you guys think?
