The 2014 Golden Globes Best Dressed

2014 Golden Globes Best Dressed

Let’s get down to business! Here are our Top 3 Best Dressed Picks from last night’s Golden Globes!

EMILY’S TOP THREE BEST DRESSED

Emily's Best Dressed - Golden Globes 2014

Number 1: Lupita Nyong’o

My best dressed absolutely has to go to Lupita Nyong’o who wore Ralph Lauren.  For someone so new on the Hollywood scene, it is so impressive that she knocked it out of the park this far.  Love that she just wore simple jewelry so not to take away from the main attraction.  Well done!!

Number 2: Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara did the best Hollywood glam look.  She was totally stunning.  And of course I love that she added a pop of color with the necklace.

Number 3: Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie could wear an ugly Lady Gaga costume and I would still be mesmerized by her.   Love this clean but very glamorous look.  The dress fit her beautifully and I love that her emerald green shoes match the emeralds on her dress!  Nice touch.  And an Australian accent is always a nice accessory as well.

ALLISON’S TOP THREE BEST DRESSED

Allison's Best Dressed - Golden Globes

Number 1:  Amy Adams

I just loved this look from Amy Adams last night.  I thought it was simple and beautiful.  I loved that her hair was back with a Grecian inspired style with braids paired with the two toned Valentino gown.  She was elegant and effortless.

Number 2:  Reese Witherspoon

Do you see a trend going here?  Another simple yet gorgeous look!  I am all about the minimalistic look.  This Calvin Klein Collection dress in that mermaid teal color.  Loved it.  I especially loved that she picked a fun contrasting nail color too.  (Probably Essie’s Wicked!)  And she didn’t do anything too crazy with the hair (unlike Jessica Chastain and Amber Heard).

Number 3: Emma Watson

I know, I know!  I bet a lot of you are going to fight me on this one!  Capris and a dress making the best dressed list?  I say… Hell Yes!  It definitely would have looked weird if the back wasn’t open.  Again, simple…but this time edgy too!  I think what made her look was her rebel smirk in every picture she took!  She owned it and I love her for it!  (I wore satin capri cargo pants to my Homecoming one year and I think people thought I was crazy… but I felt like a badass.  I’ll have to dig up a picture for you.)

CAROLINE’S TOP THREE BEST DRESSED

Caroline's Best Dressed - Golden Globes 2014

Number 1: Leslie Mann

Okay, just look beyond her semi-creepy stare and you’ve got a winning look! I’m a sucker for lace and I think the design of the dress is classic and elegant with a bit of modern flare. And she complimented the modern flare with her gold clutch and bracelet perfectly. And as always, a pop of color on the lips is a must in my book.

Number 2: Olivia Wilde

I mean, she really does look amazing. That baby bump is absolutely adorable and I think she dressed it really well unlike some of her fellow attendees (ehem Drew Barrymore and Kerry Washington). The only reason I wasn’t blown out of the water is because I feel like I’ve seen this all sequined gown look a gagillion times. But, regardless, she looks beautiful so I have to give her credit!

Number 3: Michelle Dockery

I love this dress a lot. But, she didn’t quite get the look 100% right.  I think Michelle could have chosen way more amazing shoes for that dress. Those shoes are just a little frumpy. If you’re going to pick a dress that shows off your shoes then you need to pick shoes worth showing off. But, I mean hers match so they aren’t terrible. With that glitch aside, she still looks beautiful overall.

 

And that’s a wrap! I think it’s pretty funny how none of our top picks overlapped. It shows just how different our styles are even though we are sisters!

Do you agree with us? Who did you think was best dressed?

Movie Review – Dallas Buyers Club

During Award Season, the Studios generously hold screenings of their nominated movies for members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). This past weekend, I attended a screening for Dallas Buyers Club. What was special about this screening was that the writers, producers, directors and stars were all there for a Q&A at the end! It was an honor to sit before these brilliant artists and listen to their stories behind the movie… and I will share some of those with you!  But first, if you haven’t seen this movie yet, watch the trailer!

Dallas Buyers Club Premieres in Beverly Hills

The movie was fantastic.  Of course, there were parts that were hard to watch (yes, there were drugs and sex in this movie), but it wasn’t glorified like it was in Wolf on Wall Street.  (Note: I had to make that note because the family went to see it the day after Christmas and we walked out.  Not a movie to see with your parents or little sister or her boyfriend.)

Dallas Buyers Club took over 10 years (after the movie was written) for it to finally get made.  There were different actors, directors and studios attached to the film.  They finally had Matthew McConaughey and director, Jean-Marc Vallee, attached and they planned to shoot in 2012.  Their backers pulled out last minute but Matthew had already started losing the weight… they were determined to make this film.  They ended up shooting the film on a 5 million dollar budget in 25 days with no lighting and one camera.  Amazing.

Matthew and Jared were incredible.  Jared completely transformed into his character, Rayon.  There was no trace of Jared Leto.  It was astonishing.  He should win every award he is nominated for.  It was the littlest things, like simple mannerisms or a look or a reaction, that you just couldn’t take your eyes off of him.  Matthew’s character, Ron, went through a full transformation.  Matthew said that his character (or Ron) didn’t have purpose until he found out that he had AIDS.  He now had something to fight for, and instead of destroying him, his disease turned him into a hero… a champion.  And Jennifer was a delight.  She added sweetness and heart to the movie.

One of the interesting facts about the movie is that the movie didn’t have a full score.  Jean-Marc purposefully chose not to have a score.  Matthew told a story about Jean-Marc’s role as the director of this movie.  He said directors can manipulate the audience.  They can force you to look at something by spotlighting it and going in for a close up or to have a score telling you how you should be feeling at every moment… but Jean Marc said, after one of the first takes,  that there was something special here and he had to do whatever he could to get out of the way.  The story itself is so raw and powerful and that’s how it should be seen.  Like real life and not a Hollywood movie.  Truly selfless move by a director and it made the movie what it is.

Go see it!
