jump on it

Awards season is upon us. Well, actually it's up on us, as in already here and so succeeds (naturally) my top Five Picks for Best Dressed, Golden Globes 2012. While there were some definite misses (huH?! Sarah Michelle Gellar) and 'been there, done that' copycats, the following is a list of fresh frocks and in turn, fresh and feeling it faces.

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci

Wow. Just wow. While this dress by Gucci very well could have walked itself on and off the red carpet, ERW scored big in this number attending the GG's for The Ides of March. While I wish the actress and her bust had a bit more to offer, I really shouldn't dog the mere accomplishment in snagging this piece and undoubted millinia of manpower in creating this work of art. Big up's on that one, ERW, and I'm not jealous AT ALL you also snagged my boyfriend --I-don't-even-care-if-it-was-your-job!


Emma Stone in Lanvin

I have to be honest on this one: I wasn't instantly taken aback by this snapshot, but upon further review, I need to get my eyes checked! A soft pink palette complexion, piercing blue eyes, and personality plus for days, all E. Stone does is win, win, win. (To further argue the defense, I've never seen her look bad.) I will say, the most intriguing and unexpected detail of this dress is the belt! A hint of shine, the reinforcement of youth and stature--Emma Stone's already been here. She's just sayin' she's not going anywhere. ..I'm also not mad at you EStone for jumping my boyfriend's bones in Crazy, Stupid, Love.



Lea Michelle in Marchesa

This mega-Marchesa also could have slinky-ed on and off the carpet. I loved this dress for the liquid-like depth and perception it brought the eye, obvious craftsmanship, and confidence Lea Michelle works in all her gowns as she is often a best dressed. To my knowledge, she hasn't done it with my boyfriend and I'd like to keep it that way, LM. You hear me?!?

(Nonetheless, insert requisite Hot RG picture)


Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang

Fortunate for the fishtail gown (and the leering public eye), this fashion has been scooped up and owned by some of H town's hottest Latin ladies. Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek and now Sofia Vergara work these curves like no else can. This Vera Wang option is quite unique given the many facets in the tail. I would have liked to see a little more effort with her hair as this straight, over the shoulder is a daily look, but past the curves, no one seems to notice or care.

Zooey Deschanel in Prada

Zooey Deschanel is famous for marrying (and divorcing) Ben Gibbard, lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie, releasing this amazingly sweet New Years Eve video she made with dreamboat Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and an incessant supply of short, shift/cocktail/tea length dresses. Whatever her reasoning for the plus and minus of all the above, I like it! The fresh lime green and black combo, detail cutouts, topped by her trademark voluminous do' display a natural growth pattern and I can't wait to see what other changes she has in mind.

"Is Ryan going to be there?!?"
