Hits and Misses From The Golden Globes Red Carpet

I love awards season, and it's no secret that the red carpet is my most favorite part, although if I'm being honest here, it's extremely possible that I loved the tag team duo of Amy Poehler (who won for Parks and Recreation—YAY!) and Tina Fey even more. Their monologue alone was a little piece of perfection.

(Way better than Elisabeth Moss giving the finger on the nail cam, which I personally found kind of in poor taste)

Last night, I had the pleasure of sitting down with both of my daughters to dish on dresses—and makeup and accessories and hairstyles too. It was amazing to see what they liked and what they didn't like.

"Taylor Swift is perfect. Always," says Emily, at almost 13.

"SPARKLES!" says Isabella, marveling at Michelle Dockery's dress, age 8.

"Ponytails do not belong on the red carpet," says Emily.

"How is she going to sit in THAT?" worries Isabella.

The three of us got together after the red carpet to picks our hits and misses to share with you.

(For the record, the girls disagreed with me about all of the interesting man hairdos—looking at you, Jordan Catalano, I mean Jared Leto, and Alex Ebert)

HITS

I love Zosia Mamet—and not just because I love Shoshana Shapiro on Girls—so much. And posture aside, I thought she looked stunning in this Reem Acra dress. No one said a word about it last night on social media, but look at it! It's lovely! And her newly bobbed hair? Perfect!

Amy Adams in Marchesa. Cate Blanchett in Armani Prive. Taylor Swift in Carolina Herrera.

These ladies looked gorgeous. Red hot and classy. I love that Amy Adams stayed theme-y with her now-Golden Globe-winning role in the fabulous American Hustle. Girl may never again wear a brassiere.

Rocsi Diaz in J.Mendel. Emilia Clarke in Proenza Schouler. Michelle Dockery in Oscar de la Renta.

And these, you guys. Again, no one talked about these much last night but I actually surprised myself by how lovely I thought they were. I don't always gravitate towards nude-ish colored dresses on the red carpet, but I love them here.

MISSES

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior. Zoe Saldana in Prabal Gurung. Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta.

And now, here is where I probably lose some followers. I love all three of these women—as actors, and as people. And I think this right here is a case of being allowed to love the actor, but not the dress. Because hoo boy did I not like these dresses. Even a little bit.

Emma Watson in Dior.

I am confused about this entire look. Like, Julia-Roberts-and-her-men's-dress-shirt-under-her-formal-dress confused. I love that she did something different, pushing the envelope here, but it just doesn't work for me. Her overlay had potential to be a lovely dress, but it doesn't seem to fit her properly, and reminds me a bit too much of something our of Star Wars. And the pants. THE PANTS!
