What did we learn from the Golden Globes this year? Beyond just the fact that Ricky Gerveis doesn’t have to be offensive to be funny and that gay dating still isn’t seen much at award shows unless it’s Elton John, we were exposed to a wide variety of fashion trends that you may or may not want to duplicate. Hollywood aware ceremonies are always treasure troves of style ideas for fashionistas across the world and this year was no different. Here is a rundown of the notable styles from the 2012 Golden Globes:
Mermaid tails, they’re not just for Disney anymore. This year’s Golden Globes saw Julianne Moore, Tina Fey, Reese Witherspoon, and Paula Patton all sporting fantastically stylish mermaid tail ensembles. The mermaid theme is popular in general right now, with everyone from Katy Perry to Lady Gaga styling stage sets, costumes, and show ambiances in the tradition of the beautiful mythological sea creatures. In the case of Katy Perry, we actually saw a mermaid engage in planking (using the hashtag #itswhatArielwoulddo), which perhaps makes sense in some kind of ironic teenie-bopper way. This years Golden Globes didn’t tread fully into the universe of The Little Mermaid, but it got close.
Headbands look good on Charlize Theron. But she didn’t wear any old headband, she brandished a jeweled haute couture and Cartier jewelry taken directly from museum in Geneva (no joke). Headbands are back in style right now—jelly headbands, double headbands, peacock and rooster feather headbands, polka dot, skinny, skull, striped, snake skin, designer, bow. The list goes on and on. Headbands have been a popular women’s fashion accessory for some time, but the recent outpouring of trendy, high-end headbands is for real, and the Golden Globes proved it.
Other notable styles from this year’s festivities were the light pink shades worn by over a dozen starlets, Angelina Jolie’s Atelier Versace gown, Zooey Deschanel’s Lite Brite Prada dress, Michelle Williams’ blue velvet Jason Wu gown (with what else but a matching headband!), Nicole Kidman’s ravishing V-strap Versace dress, Dianna Agron’s Giles Deacon dress, Madonna’s Reem Acra gown, and Black Swan Natalie Portman (returned to us from her maternal sabbatical) and her eye-poppingly pink Lanvin gown.
We can count on Hollywood to keep dishing us insanely creative fashion options. We don’t always have to say yes to these trends, but they’ll keep pouring out of the fashion mecca award shows like the Golden Globes and Oscar Awards ceremonies.
