Golden Globes 2015: Best Dressed

Pop the champagne and Sony leak jokes - 2015 award season has begun! White, sparkles, and red were major themes (and personal favorites) of the night as the ladies of Hollywood brought their A game.

Jessica Chastain
This Versace is nothing out of the ordinary but Jessica Chastain still deserves some praise for consistently bringing the Hollywood glamour. And her boyfriend is some kind of Italian royalty, so she kind of wins at life/this is something to hang on an inspiration board.

Heidi Klum
Red on the red carpet is never an easy task but she's Heidi Klum - obviously the va va voom factor was achieved. 

Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale in a radiating number at an award show is never really a shock but damn does she nail it every time! Last night, Beckinsale wow-ed in a sleek Elie Saab dress.

Amal Clooney
Is she creeped out yet over how much we all love her? Amal might have might been at the Globes to celebrate her husband's achievements but the rest of the world was still in awe of her own accomplishments and glamorous style. With her white gloves, Christian Dior dress, and Je Suis Charlie pin, Amal once again embodied that class we admire her for so much.

Emma Stone
The jumpsuit was expected this award season and Emma Stone delivered! This style works perfectly for a more casual atmosphere like the Globes and a young actress like Emma was the perfect choice to pull this off.  With a shimmer, classic black in the front and a fancy big bow in the back, this Lanvin number aced a major trend.

Kate Hudson
Versace Versace! Kate Hudson opted for a more daring look with the low swoop and side cut out. The white coloring and shimmery sides gave the dress a rather angelic appeal, instead of cheapening it. While I would have preferred different hair and makeup choices, Hudson did a good job repeating her white and sparkle look from the Oscars with a very different approach!

Jennifer Lopez
Let's be real, when Jennifer Lopez showed up in this Zuhair Murad dress, the game was over. She looks perfect! The texture, cuts, hair, jewels - is this amazing styling or just her natural JLo glow?! Either way Jennifer looked gorgeous, making this one for the books.

Countdown to the Red Carpet

With the Golden Globes just three days away (!!!), award season is quickly approaching. And when the red carpet rolls out, so do all those new fashion trends. Last night's People's Choice Awards served as a little pre-game for the red carpet styles that are about to dominate the next couple of months. So before we delve into the Hollywood glamour and start scouting for the latest red carpet siren of award season, here are some spotted trends to look out for!

Abstract Designs
Katharine McPhee took a chance with this black and white stripe look, but will other starlets do the same? Stripes, in particular, can be a tricky design to pull off depending on the body type. For McPhee's tall and slender frame, it worked. For the ladies who are of shorter height, no worries the abstract dresses can still be applied but with a more vertical shaped design. Mila Kunis in Alexander McQueen back at the 2011 SAGs, anyone? A daring fashion move never goes out of style.

Sparkles
It's winter. It's award season. There will be sparkles. Last night, Sarah Hyland took a spin on the classic style with a little high-low trick. The dress was adorable and the length was perfect for her petite frame. If actresses opt for a more casual look at the Golden Globes on Sunday, this is the way to do it!

Jumpsuits
Jumpsuits have been quite the comeback for a while now. Portia de Rossi showed a twist on the covered up look with a sleek cut out pattern on a gorgeous navy blue color. Even though gowns are the go-to for award shows, what better way to stand out while still nailing the timeless theme?! Another throwback to prove the point- Beyonce at the 2013 Grammy's. See? Even royalty is doing it.
