Katie Segal is so cute. Mixed feeling about the dress.

Ditto. She's elegant, but slouching toward stank. It's somehow fitting for an aging Peg Bundy, though.

Who was the lady in the floral Valentino? It looked very springish, but I loved that look on her.

Wow they really are getting people on their speeches with that "WRAP IT UP BITCHES!!!" music.

Michelle Williams

Trent in a tux with a Golden Globe. How odd. Congrats to him, though.

I loved J-Ho's dress, very elegant. Probably the most elegant I've ever seen her.

Tilda Swinton is the most effortlessly weird person I've ever seen. Lord, I love that woman!!

She might be effortless but she looked like a puffy Kotex.
Come on, there was nothing attractive about that sanitary napkin coocon.

I am inept @ posting pictures.

That's why we leave it up to the experts to post the dress pics

I don't think I've ever seen her in something normal.

Agreed, but she usually does "not-normal" very well. This was a mess.

A mess is a mess is a mess. I don't care how cool the person normally is.

The dress looked like a bad Jr High Home Ec sewing project, agreed, but she consistently just does her own thing in an industry of faces.

Yeah, Helena Bonham was doing her own thing too. This was not a great night for folk "doin their own thing".

THE GOOD:

BEST DRESSED: Piper Perabo in Oscar De LaRenta perfection from head to toe.

Olivia Wilde (though I woud've preferred the hair up). And did you see her shoes???

Claire Danes

Emma Stone

Scarlet Johansen- I thought she looked lovely. A bit old (like if Helen Mirren or Meryl can wear it, it's probably too old for you), but she still looked pretty. I loved her hair most of all.

J Lo looked stunning as always.

Viva la Fonda!

THE COULDA-SHOULDA'S

Anne Hathaway's Armani Prive dress was but she needed sexier makeup and hair. Her makeup should've been more like Eva Langoria's. Her blah hair detracted from that amazing gown.

Tilda Swinton looked good from the neck up (maybe even the waist if you could figure out where it was), but that out fit was a train wreck. If she'd worn a top like that (I don't know if it was separates or one dress) with some sharp pants, and statement shoes she would've been AMAZING.

Angelina Jolie...loved the dress, hated the hair. HATED it.

The chick from Mad Men in the green Donna Karan. That dress should've been VAVAVOOM!, but not with that taking-the-kids-to-the-mall-after-work hair.

THE BAD:

Helena, Helena, Helena
Gorgeous woman, looked like a clown threw up on her ass on the way to the show.

Sandra Bullock. That wig was eating her head before our very eyes. And don't get me started on the granny dress.

Michelle Williams- The short hair was rockin (very Rosemary's Baby), but that dress. You're going to an awards ceremony, not a sunday afternoon hippy beach wedding.

Milla Jovovich

THE WTF???

Annette Benning, was that hair on purpose??

My Julianne Moore...

I about fell out of my chair when I saw HBC's shoes! They looked like a pair of Payless dye-to-match shoes, one dyed red & one dyed green! FANTASTIC!

Fantastic, as in you thought it was a good thing?

I'm a HUGE fan of crazy beyond reason @ things like this! It's way of giving convention the finger.

There's nothing about what she did that was giving convention the finger. She still walked the red carpet in something with a huge designer tag and went to the trouble of extensive hair and makeup. She just did it all tragically and poorly.

If you really want to give convention the finger, you show up in something accessible (like an outfit that you or I could afford from a regular store), Nothing would give convention the finger more than to show up looking fab (totally doable) and when asked "who are you wearing" say "OH we grabbed this at Macy's."

LOL. I just don't see it that way. She dresses enough like this that it's just what she wants to do with the designer things she buys. She treats them as if they were the clothing from Macy's. Sharon Stone did what you're talking about several years ago when she wore a black suit with a black shirt from The Gap underneath. That was remarkable in it's own rite, but not the bat shit crazy of HBC.

If Helena's way to stick it to convention is to prove that you can spend more than most people make in a month to look like a clown...then I guess she did an awesome job of that tonight. But I get that breaking convention need not have anything to do with price tags or designer labels.

I guess I think that sticking it to convention is sort of meaningless if you have to put a whole lot of effort into it and it comes off sloppy.

It didn't even come off as eccentric (which I love) to me, because it wasn't well executed.

HBC is no Isabella Blow.
