Golden Globes 2012: a good place to start

Well, what greater start to the new year and to my blog than a selection of one of the finest displays of fashion the celebrity world has to offer. We'll just ignore the men for now because, let's be honest, we're all looking at the dresses, and honestly I'm not your woman for men's attire. I want glamour, I want surprises and I want them now! Before I begin though, can I just say thank goodness for fishtails. I loved that so many stars opted for that silhouette and, apart from Kelly Osbourne's grey-haired disaster, I thought they were all stunning.

So, without further ado here are my best and worst dressed lists.

Best Dressed

I think the dress that will be remembered from the night will definitely be Charlize Theron's amazing Dior creation. She pulled out all the stops on this one so she definitely deserves all the attention she's getting. Maybe she is getting a bit old for decolletage and leg but it's the statement dress of the night for sure.

And, the other star who was nothing short of glowing in her elegant Gucci number was Jessica Alba. She was rocking the pale and interesting look covered by Vogue's 'Collections' supplement this month. Love the embellishments, love her simple jewels and especially love the fact that she doesn't look like she's just been chilling in a morgue drawer for months. Aren't the Golden Globes held in LA? Why all the pale skin?

Worst dressed

Two sins for the price of one photo. Tie dye is very rarely a good look, especially on the red carpet and masses of parachute material ruched into a bustle doesn't bode well as a fashion hit either. It seems that misery does love company.
