'I have never been more proud to be a black woman.'
-you and me both Halle, you and me both.

Golden Globe 2011 Red Carpet Trend Report

Last night the 68th annual Golden Globe awards took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in sunny Beverly Hills California.
While at every award show, there will always be some fashion hits and misses, I particularly enjoy the Golden Globes red carpet because it gives the stars an opportunity to be a little more playful and take some risk with their wardrobe selections while still giving head on glamour.
Every year, certain trends dominate the red carpet, and in years past we've seen grecian inspire gowns, ruffle hemlines and jewel tone ensembles set the award season tone. This year we take a look at what new red carpet trends are emerging. Have a look;

Floor length sleeved sequin gowns with a vintage feel.

Angelina Jolie in Versace. 

Anne Hathaway in  Giorgio Armani Privé gown and ring from Van Cleef & Arpels. One of my favorites of the night. 

Gabourey Sidibe Marc Bouwer dress and Martin Katz jewelry.

Sheer peek-a-boos and overlays

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad

Jayma Mays, black Alberta Ferretti gown

Halle Berry lingerie-inspired Nina Ricci gown

Kaley Cuoco in champagne colored ruffle gown by Catherine Kidd, jewels by Chopard

Always classic and a staple at all award shows, neutral and stone colored gowns effortless and always flattering.

Vanessa William wearing a vintage pink sequined one shoulder Roberto Cavalli gown.

Scarlett Johansson in Elie Saab

Natalie Portman inViktor & Rolf gown

Leighton Meester Long-sleeved Burberry Gown

Julie Bowen in Tadashi Shoji 

Sarah Hyland in vintage look Max Azria Atelier gown

Green with envy

Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

Elisabeth Moss custom Donna Karan gown

Catherine Zeta-Jones emerald green gathered Monique Lhuillier strapless gown

While most would save the best for last, my blown away favorite dress of the evening actually arrived first on E!'s red carpet. This phenomenal Marchesa gown worn by Olivia Wilde gives us a little of all the trends (floor length, jeweled and tulle overlay) of the night synthesized into one extraordinary chocolate gown and a surprise studded Christian Louboutin studded bootie. The epitome of Punk & Privilege.
