Ok Lovelies, let's get started, shall we???
Well, I'm one for two...Jimmy Fallon was not as I predicted, a natural. He is so likable and I don't think I was the only one really rooting for his success, but his performance as host, save for the opening La La Land tribute, fell short.
Ms. Streep, who was both nominated for her performance in Florence Foster Jenkins and the recipient of the Cecile B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, was however, horribly attired and coiffed. Bam. No matter what your politics, I found her acceptance speech, deriding President Elect Trump, to be completely out of place and found it uncomfortable to watch.
Moving on to fashion. I loved that the stars really pulled out the stops for the GG's, traditionally a bit lower key than the Oscar's. I'm drooling in anticipation of what's in store for us on February 26th.
Trends included:
Canary yellow, which in my estimation is the single hardest shade for a woman to pull off successfully, but was managed well by Viola Davis and Natalie Portman,
Pink- divine on Lily Collins, and Zoe Saldana, cloying and overly sweet on Felicity Jones and Carrie Underwood.
Metallics- lovely on Emma Stone, Naomi Harris, Priyanka Chopra and Ruth Negga, (though I have no clue who she is.)
Deep plunging necklines, impeccably worn on Kristen Bell, Emma Stone (always trend savvy and nailing two of the big ones), and Mandy Moore, who stunned in a navy Naeem Khaan.
Black and White- horrible on Naomi Campbell, Sophie Turner, Jessica Biel and Heidi Klum.
White- Drew Barrymore, Tracee Ellis Ross, Thandie Newton and Sarah Jessica Parker in Vera Wang. (Just. Say. No.)
Interestingly, some of my A List designers, also ended up on the F List;
Zuhair Murad, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Go figure!!!
