The Best
Kerry Washington in Balenciaga
 |
| It's no surprise that Kerry Washington once again tops this year's best dressed list. The dreamy neutral hue is absolutely spectacular with her complexion, not to mention that silhouette is perfect for a mother-to-be. Leave it to the Scandal star to accessorize appropriately. Everything from the brooch, to the bracelet, to the earrings gives this matte look enough sparkle. Amy Poehler in Stella McCartney |
 |
| It's always refreshing when a starlet wears a relatively contemporary brand to a megawatt awards show. It's even better when it's Stella McCartney. To say I'm obsessed with this look is a slight understatement. Not only is this outfit age-appropriate for the Parks and Recreation comedian, that subtle cutout is the perfect way to say, "Your loss, Will Arnett." As for the perfect finishing touch, that blowout and fresh face is pure bliss. Naomi Watts in Tom Ford |
 |
| One word: chic. Can Naomi Watts do any wrong? Though this is very close to being a typical metallic column dress, the embellished halter neck and sheer panels spice up this traditional shape. And the gold and silver combination creates the perfect way to accessorize muted metallics. To prevent an outfit nightmare, the actress went easy on the makeup. Brava! Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph Lauren |

| Every awards show has a look that is so fashion-forward, style savant become obsessed with it. This year? The 12 Years a Slave star in Ralph Lauren, naturally. Though the silhouette is very reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow and the Tom Ford cape, red looks stunning against the fashion plate's complexion. With simple jewels, Nyong'o puts the intense shape front and center. Michelle Dockery in Oscar de la Renta
|
Amy Adams in Valentino
 |
| One word: boring. If you're a nominee, it's your unofficial duty to step it up. The color scheme and halter neck are eerily similar to Michelle Dockery's Prada dress from the 2013 Emmys. And what's with the back straps? Are they that loose on purpose? I'm very confused. And the micro braided updo is just a bit random with this dress-- it would've looked super luxe with a soft ethereal frock. Sarah Hyland in George Hobeika |
 |
| The problem with this look is that the fashion and beauty are completely conflicting. While the dress screams minimalist (not a fan of the belt and bedazzled back, by the way), the thick brow and Valentino-inspired braids are too runway for the red carpet. Though the brows looks fantastic from afar, the mascara-less lashes are not okay for awards season. I love a good juxtaposition as much as the next fashionista, but the two inspirations are not meshed together. Lena Dunham in Zac Posen |

| Though the Zac-approved awkward stance makes this outfit look better,, this ensemble is terrible. Blinding hue aside, it's bothersome that someone would push an extremely uncomfortable dress on an actress. What's worse? That said actress would wear it. I'm all for the "beauty is pain" mentality; however, she doesn't look comfortable. It's just unacceptable to wear something you can't properly stand in. Also, the breast cups are insanely off-centered. Overall, this was a major fail. Paula Patton in Stephanie Rolland Couture
Julia Roberts in Dolce and Gabbana |
 |
| As one actress once said, "Big mistake. Big. Huge." That's right, Julia, your iconic onscreen one liner came back and bit you. The dress would've been pretty on its own, but the white button down? Really? She's not Carolina Herrera or Tilda Swinton, so why is this necessary? Though the actress's hair and makeup is fantastic, the look is equal parts confusing and trying too hard. |
Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior
 |
| Though Raf has done wonders for the French fashion house, this dress looks like a white sheet with some black duct tape. Not only is this look quite unflattering, it doesn't work with her new pixie cut. Instead of choosing a very familiar shape, Lawrence should've opted for a more streamlined silhouette. Not to mention the makeup was too heavy for a winter white look. A goth lip and a smokey eye? Way too much! |
Mila Kunis in Emilio Pucci
 |
| Not only does the actress look absolutely miserable to be at the Golden Globes, the bodice is way too heavy for such a small frame. There's nothing wrong with adding some glitz to an ensemble, but it's important to know what woks for your body. In this case, a metal plated halter neck is a no-go. |
Heidi Klum in Marchesa
 |
| The dress says ethereal nighty while the choker necklace says dominatrix. Needless to say, there's nothing I like about this look. After a dozen red carpet misses, I think it's about time the model finds herself a new stylist. |
Taylor Schilling in Thakoon
 |
| Is lingerie-inspired dresses turning into a red carpet trend? Please no. In terms of street style, I will welcome this trend with open arms; however, this is too lazy for awards season. It's such a shame! Schilling hit it out of the sartorial ballpark at the Emmys with her luxe white Thakoon number--what went wrong? Everything about this look is sloppy: the dress, the hair, the makeup. Just make it stop! |
