69th Annual Golden Globes Awards

The Best Dressed

• Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) in Roberto Cavalli. This beaded RC gown was just her style, as were the diamonds around her both wrists and her ears. I love her glam.

• Helen Mirren  never disappoints on the red carpet. This deep blue ensemble did really good for her.

• Amanda Peet in Marc Jacobs showed bohemian elegance at the 2012 Golden Globes, opting for a white tiered gown. She finished off the look with a simple and chic ponytail.

• Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann is one of the actress' favorite brands. She complemented her pale silhouette with gold cuffs and her platinum hair high up.  

• Jessica Alba in Gucci was completely feminine in a beaded lavender gown after just having a baby.

• Jessica Chastain (The Help) in Givenchy channelled classic Hollywood elegance in this textured gown with a jeweled high collar. Plus, I love the book and the film, so I love her, too.

• Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn) in Jason Wu loves  ladylike silhouettes, just like her onscreen character. I can’t wait to see the film!

• Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) in Nina Ricci was darkly chic in a black gown with a daring neckline.

• Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang was a real wa-wa-wa-woom for the 2012 Golden Globes, showing off her figure in a textured mermaid gown with a plenty of diamonds.

• Charlize Theron (The Young Adult) in Christian Dior Couture was just stunning as she channelled the 20s in a nude gown with a high-low hem. The Dior spokeswoman paired the daring look with a loose side hair-do, and accessorized with an embellished headband.
The Worst Dressed


• Salma Hayek in Gucci –even though her husband owns this brand among the others, she really isn’t a high fashion figure. Sorry, S.
• Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen – I really like Kelly since she transformed from a crazy rock daughter to a fashion now how, but this gray hair and the dress with so many creases didn’t do her any good.
• Kate Winslet in Jenny Packham  - they say it’s chic, I say it’s a housewife made a sudden star. She is usually elegant, but this I cannot cope with.
• Andrea Riseborough in Vivienne Westwood and Madonna in Reem Acra – Don’t listen to Madonna, Andrea!! Step away from her!!! They looked like bitchy sisters from Cinderella. Full stop.
• Jessica Biel in Elie Saab Couture usually looks really stunning, but this look is not something that complemented her.
• Mary J. Blige in Michael Kors she had a feathered skirt that appeared to be shedding as she made the rounds for the photographbuers. Plus, it’s not nice at all.
• Freida Pinto in Prada – Did you borrow this one, dear?
• Mila Kunis in Christian was probably contractually obligated to wear a Christian Dior gown, as she's currently one of the brand's spokesmodels. And she looks as if she was forced into this dress. She can do it much better.
• Reese Witherspoon looked like a starlet, but she’s a real star. I don’t like the bumpers on her dress at all. Nor her dress. I only like her here.
• Sarah Michelle Gellar in Monique Lhuillier – I know that her daughter chose this dress for her (at least she said that), but this is only good for a children’s party not for a red carpet event.





Somewhere InBetween


• Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace
• Julianna Margulies in Naeem Khan
• Heidi Klum in Calvin Klein - How dare you divorce from Seal?? You are my fave couple. :(
• Lea Michele in Marchesa
• Nicole Kidman in Versace - She can do it much better.
• Claire Danes in J. Mendel
• Emma Stone in Lanvin
• Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci Premiere
• Natalie Portman in Lanvin - Something is missing.
• Nicole Richie in Jullien Macdonald
• Zooey Deschanel in Prada

That's all folks!

Triple B: Beginning. Birthday. Blog.

I’ve read somewhere that if you don’t have a blog, you don’t have an opinion. You don’t have anything worthwhile to say. Or write. Well, I hate when people take me for granted. I have something to say. I’m well opinionated. Maybe too much, some would say. But that’s just me. And, this is my beginning.

Firstly, I hate beginnings. When I was at school, I hated those written essays you had to write in an hour and a half. The beginnings were the worst things in those. I knew the body and the conclusion, but the introduction… Jesus, pure horror!

To move from this beginning, I’ll write something about birthdays. It’s purely egoistic because my birthday is coming soon, very soon. At the end of this week. I’m turning…  Well, you don’t need that info. I’m very near my thirties. Ooh, my goodness, it sounds so old. Especially when you see it in black and pink. Phew…  Still, I’m not fully there to know that I’m getting old because the only thing I want for my birthday is certainly not to be reminded of it. I love to be reminded of it! I love the attention! I love my friends and family coming to me and wishing me all the best! I also love my birthday cakes. They are always special. I love my age. I love the things I’ve done so far. I’m looking forward to many more. (And I love the presents. Who doesn’t? So, here’s my wish list. Feel free to say to everyone. ;) )

Growing up is mandatory. Growing up is optional. Cheers!

Xoxo,

Ivi
