Post #117: Golden Globes 2013 Worst Dressed
It happens every year and it happened again. The mighty rose and the unfortunate fell. While I loved most of the wide plunging necklines on the runway, I hated the awkward just-above-the-ankle/not-quite-tea-length skirts that kept showing up. For some, like Anne Hathaway, I questioned whether they looked at how boxy dresses could affect a midriff. For others, like Rachel Weisz, only sheer beauty could combat a sheer polka dot-bottomed affair. Yet others (we'll get to you later, Jennifer Lawrence) still leave me struggling.
But for now, The Mannequin presents the Red Carpet Bottom Five:
5. Kelly Osbourne: The girl can pull off purple hair (love it!), but unfortunately this alien gray/green Zac Posen gown missed the mark. The deconstructed feel made for an unflattered torso and a less than polished look.
4. Jessica Chastain: Seafoam waves could've made this red-head a gorgeously modern little mermaid...but her Calvin Klein gown just gave her a wrinkly and drooping chest.
3. Giuliana Rancic: This black and nude lace Celia Kritharioti combo screamed antique funeral. I wish that Giuliana would skip the high black necklines for once, as they only serve to make this gorgeous woman look severe.
2. Emily Mortimer: To take a line from Sassy Gay Friend: What, what, WHAT are you doing? This space age silver turtle neck managed to be both unfortunate and frumpy.
1. Sienna Miller: The normally fashionable Ms. Miller apparently did not learn from last year's Michelle Williams Valentino daisy dress mistake. The two-piece Erdem ensemble was a huge floral DON'T. The top's construction gave the beautiful actress boxy shoulders and while the skirt hugged her curves, the stick-out flowers were more than a little arts and craftsy.

Post #116: The Best of the Golden Globes
I'm more than pleased to say it, but this year it seemed like there were many more DOs than DON'Ts on the Golden Globe Red Carpet and stage. From our stunning hosts to ladies in red and stunners in black, I couldn't help but applaud actresses and stylists alike.
In honor of these fashionable ladies, I present you with The Mannequin's Golden Globes 2013 Top Five in their very own post:
5. Marion Cotillard: One of the great things about the Globes is that they give actresses some wiggle room to have a little fun. Cotillard took this cue and stood out by going short. It took me a few looks to get used to the asymmetrical draping of her Christian Dior by Raf Simons dress, but then I was sure that she just looked red hot.
4. Tina Fey: While I wasn't the biggest fan of Tina Fey's awkwardly tea-length red carpet gown, I couldn't help but think she looked fabulous when she stepped out on the Golden Globe stage. The hair style and color were perfect. Her body looked amazing. And that blue dress was slinky fabulous. The only thing I can't find online? Who it's by! Not to mention a lack of pictures...
3. Lucy Liu: Who knew that matte floral print could rock the red carpet boat so well? Another gown that took a few looks, Liu's blue Carolina Herrera number was silently stunning.
2. Julianne Hough: Rock of Ages? Try Rock CHIC. Hough was a punk princess tonight in Monique Lhuillier. Harsher metallic pieces fell into dreamy layers of tulle in this white and gold gown. What made it even more special though were her accessories: a gold Ferragamo clutch, a very "natural" ear cuff, and a perfect updo.
1. Kate Hudson: Hudson was simple and stunning in her black and gold Alexander McQueen dress. While I think it looked even better live, the picture speaks for itself.
