Golden Globes 2009: Best and Worst Dressed
The evening filled with glitz and glamour, the beauty and elegance personified the entertainment industry to its fullest. At times very touching and emotionally moving, most of the evening funny and without doubt one of the most entraining awards events starting 2009.
While the fashion outfits were a mixed bowl of fruits and nuts, there was more then enough material with disastrous fashion to write till the cows come home. Botax must have been delivered in semis as most of the faces where starched out beyond the recognition.
Best-dressed ladies:
With the gracious elegance reminiscent of the late Princess Grace Kelly, Christina Applegate, breathless in buttery Roberto Cavalli gown, necklace by Lorraine Schwartz completed this elegant classy entrance.

Debra Messing in a midnight blue Vera Wang halter dress, body fitting, flamenco inspired creation’s tiered ruffle fishtail looked as always stunning. This woman knows how to strut her stuff and present it with style and elegance. Like excellent vine with age she gets better.
The best dressed male:

Aussie and stunningly handsome Simon Baker, star of the TV serious “Mentalist,” looked oh well so gorgeous in a blue jacket trimmed in black velvet-lapels. Not to crazy about the velvet, or the shiny ill fitted jacket, but then Aussies haven’t been known for great fashion style. I don’t think anyone really cares what he wears when you are blessed with such exquisite good looks and charms galore. Have a mercy!!

Aaron Eckhart, yet another good-looking hunk, talented actor from the “Dark Knight” going for his own signature with confidence and individuality expressed with paisley lapels, bow-tie fitting his bone structure and his demeanor of classy elegance.

Looking like a dream walking, Drew Barrymore in John Galliano gown is absolutely beautiful, hairdo reminiscent of the sex symbol of 60’s Merlyn Monroe. All worked beautifully except that the pearl ring stood out like pimple on your nose. The elegance of the gown required jewelry that is invisible; diamonds would sufficed.
When she was a little girl with her mom in tow we would bump into each other at “Dan Tana’s” restaurant, where she would flirt with my son JT. Who knew that cutie would turn into such a stunning beauty, I should have coached my son to reciprocate.
The worst of the evening!!!
When will she ever learn or will she? Maggie Gyllenhaal, dressed up in a Lanvin one arm blue leopard spotted dress which had a distinct feeling that a crime was committed at the goodwill store, was an absolute flop.
Renee Zellweger, in organza blouse and silk skirt by Carolina Herrera, Christian Louboutin shoes and Verdura Maltese cuff, looked confused as the rest of us who were trying to make some sense of this disarray, such a disappointment.
The worst of the worst!!!
Mickey Rourke

Nothing could in my furthest dreams prepare me for this and trust me I have seen it all and have seen Mickey in his worst until now!!! Wh ever has done this to Mickey Rourke should be exiled not to another country but to another planet. Never known to go with the flow and dress with good taste, but this is absurd, what a disaster!! Mickey, call me and I’ll donate my time for the Oscars free of charge. 310-574-6018
Jennifer Lopez, waistline bulging with access, the cut and the style not complimenting this stunning entertainer. We are accustomed to see her in magnificent and not ordinary gowns and this one by Marchesa, was anything but magnificent. However, obviously she didn’t spare on Botax.

The most unappealing attire of the evening belongs to this international duet, Heidi Klum, and her hubby Seal. She failed in a James Galanos pouf dress and striper’s shoes, to demonstrate elegance (all she needed was the dancing pole). Did anyone notice her shoes where size to small? Love Galanos, didn’t care for this dress, maybe without the gigantic rose and with elegant evening strappy sandals it would have been lovely, not great.
Let me leave you with one of the most poignant moments of the evening and there where many.

Kate Winslet in a stunning Yves Saint Laurent gown, looking exquisite, genuinely surprised, and in a word stunned as she walks away with not one but two golden globes. Her speech delightful and emotional as she thanked her costar DiCaprio, her husband, director Sam Mendes, the two ean in her life she is in love with, but the most interesting moment came when Winslet acknowledged her fellow nominees and drew a blank at Angelina Joilie’s name: ‘’Oh God, who’s the other one?'’ Was she really that overcome by emotions, or did she truly forget the home wreaker’s name?
