Golden Globes 2018 Best Dressed

The red carpet was the only pop of colour at this year’s Golden Globes as A-listers donned black in support of the #TimesUp campaign. With a noir dress code, gowns sort detail through embellishment, texture and shape, taking elegance to new levels and channelling chic!

Judging the red carpet arrivals has always been a time honoured tradition in my family, once lead by my nan who had an impeccable eye for good style. Presenting my Top 5 Golden Globes 2018 Best Dressed!

Alessandra Mastronardi in Chanel

For me, this was the clear winner on the red carpet, comprising of my three favourite textures; mesh, sequin and feathers. This Chanel Pre Fall 2018 number has a whimsical and enchanting element and upon first seeing this on my feed, I was instantly reminded of an opulent Odile from Swan Lake.

Samara Weaving in Laura Basci Couture

Simple, elegant with a graceful fall of the fabric, Samara Weaving looks particularly stunning in her Laura Basci gown. With a gathered waist and scooped neckline, this frock eagerly flatters Samara’s petite frame and that embellished fabric? Divine!

Nicole Kidman in Givenchy

Very Wicked Witch of the West vibes going on in this dramatic number, but I absolutely adore Nicole’s red carpet chic, as she makes a statement in this Givenchy frock. I can’t decide what I love more: that detailed, laced bodice or the grace of that mermaid skirt, either way it’s a 10 from me!

Naomi Campbell in Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture

Queen on the runway and the red carpet, there’s no denying Naomi Campbell absolutely slays glam! She looks like Haute Couture Barbie with a one sided dress, fastened with an oversized bow – my favourite! I also love the pleated detail throughout the bodice, which falls into a seperate train. Just fierce!

Diane Kruger in Prada

The more I look at this number, the more I fall in love with this ethereal mesh gown styled by the beautiful Diane Kruger. The cross over detail seen in the bodice is further highlighted with a unique trim of silver trinkets. The cape is also a sophisticated statement, creating a billowing train behind the starlet.

Fashion Myth: printed pieces don’t have the same stylistic opportunities as block basics. Now that’s certainly not the case for this starry number by Marcs, as I see plenty of versatility to dress up or dress down this piece with just the right accessories. Presenting a quick how to style 1 dress 2 ways, from casual to chic.

Marcs Silk Star Cluster Shirtdress, French Connection Block Swoop Blazer, Oroton Forte Mini Clutch, Larsson & Jennings Lugano Watch, Mimco Perfect Pear Stud, Jo Mercer Candice Dress Heels, Seed Heritage Leather Jacket, Prada Round Sunglasses, French Connection Large Sequin Bucket Bag, Wittner Honesty Ankle Boot, Samantha Wills Heart Wonder Ring, MAC Cosmetics Velvet Teddy Lipstick.

Casual

1. Dress down the elaborate print of this piece with the ultimate “cool girl” accessory – a buttery, leather jacket. I tend to favour a cropped cut as it appears more feminine when layered over your favourite shift dress.

2. Team with a pair of ankle boots, like these Wittner booties. Never have I seen a more practical purchase with it’s sensible, stacked, block heel – perfect for endless roaming and shopping.

3. A bucket bag is the perfect choice for day to day wear, allowing for effortless storage possibilities and a cool, sling over your shoulder statement.

4. Accessories are best kept simple, understated with a touch of glam. There’s nothing I love more than a statement, stone ring like this Samantha Wills find, teamed with a pair of luxe Prada shades.

Chic

1. A tailored blazer is the perfect way to layer this frock, whilst evaluating to chic status. I’m loving styles that offer a little extra length like this French Connection find. Not to mention, the lapels offer an elegant touch.

2. Swap the booties for a cleaner style, like a sleek Mary Jane in suede.

3. Emphasise the metallic strands throughout this dress with a matching, metallic clutch. This mini Oroton clutch is the perfect little accessory for a fabulous night out with the girls, storing your essential makeup items for sneaky touch ups, phone, keys and keycard. As George Gershwin once sung, “who could ask for anything more!”

4. Nothing says ultimate sophistication like a pair of pear shaped, crystal studs and naturally, Mimco is delivering the goods! Team with a classic time piece, like this Larsson & Jennings mesh strap watch.
