Golden Girls

I feel a teeny bit of remorse today. I'm usually so even keeled, gracious and careful with my words in the hopes not to offend. However, in the Twitter-induced haze last night wrought, I may have been too harsh on the starlets, golden oldies and others in my criticism of the Golden Globes red carpet - perspective only 24 hours of distance can provide. The ladies looked lovely. However, I will caveat the below list of the well-dressed with my continuing assertion that there was a lot of disappointment for me in this year's Globes fashion round-up. With all of the A-listers in attendance, there was huge opportunity for a fashion extravaganza the likes of which we've never seen. Here goes anyway...

My pick for best-dressed is...

Hailee Steinfeld in Prabal Gurung

Runner-up...

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein Collection

Most interesting (without a doubt) and best hair...

January Jones in Versace

I could give worst dressed to a litany of people, but I'm going to award it to Helena Bonham Carter. Mostly I'm giving it to her because all of these fashion "experts" on TV are fawning over how much they love her for her originality and style. BS, there is just nothing stylish about her rat's nest of hair, dress or mismatched shoes from last night. She did it just to be the train wreck. Oh, and for most-overly praised, the award goes to Olivia Wilde. Sorry, it was just pretty...boring.

I saw that Harpers Bazaar put Julianne Moore on its Best Dressed list for that Lanvin wreck she was wearing. UNbelievable.

I loved Olivia Wilde - especially her shoes. Louboutin booties with gold spikes.

I think my favs was Claire Danes for the overall look - http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/108080892/Getty-Images-Entertainment

Love that Leighton cuff.
