the golden globes
it's that time of the year. when ppl who get superbly rich by luck come together to show off whatever they can show off, and to discreetly inform the rest of the world tt THEY are the best and the rest of us can just work our daily 9-5s and watch them get richer.
golden globes isn't as huge as the oscars, but it still provides the occasional laugh and snigger, and produces a large amt of wannabes and has-beens at their after parties. this year is no exception - only probably more interesting than previous years.
we pay tribute to the best dressed, give thumbs up for those who try, and applaud those who came just to provide us entertainment.
lets start with the arrivals, the stars who stand on the red carpet for hours at hand.
we shall begin with someone who usually looks great and stunning, even when she's on a stranded island, all sweaty, grimy, and her hair is full of oil and leaves.
evangeline lilly.
the colour totally matches her, the fabric is nice and soft and is able to carry the colour well, her hair is nicely down, and her makeup makes her look radiant. i dare say one of the best looks i saw at the golden globes. the dress emphasizes all the curves in all the right places.
i have to say that rachel weisz also looked glamourous.
the colour made her skin radiant and gleaming, her hair is in place and she looks immaculately polished. i say WOW.
kudos also, to ex-lois lane teri hatcher, who looks a lot better than the current lois lane. sure, she might be a bitty saggy, but age plays a part, and she looks lovely in the greek-inspired white gown of hers. she also looks extremely happy and her hair is something i want. nice, sleek, no random strands sticking out. also does not look as if she dumped 10 cans of hairspray on it, either.
however, some things just don't really work out.
i am genuinely unsure of what was heidi klum's motive when she wore this. to hide a potential baby bump? to look straight and flawless? to just piss off the media? the last time i saw this thing, it was in star wars, princess leia was mumbling something to harrison ford and i think you really need the two buns on your head to make this a winner.
star wars frenzy continued with ellen pompeo.
although i must say tt the hair is an improvement (anyone remembers the time she tied it so tight she looked as if she had a facelift?), the dress looks like something out of princess amidala's closet in episode III. and please don't tell me those sides are POCKETS.
cate blanchett confused everyone.
remember those high-school shows back in the 90s? when there will ALWAYS be this goth-wannabe-reject who will wear all black and lacy stuff to the prom? this REALLY looks like one of those dresses.the hem also reminds me of my grandma's curtains.
chloe sevigny chose to come as tarzan's best friend.
half-moons on your dress, unfortunately, do NOT make a good fashion statement. the top is also not really together (notice the left part trying to run away) and OMG did she even bother to wear makeup? well if she did wear makeup, honey, FIRE YOUR MAKEUP ARTIST IMMEDIATELY. for the love of god, even mrs quek looks better than this. and when mrs quek looks better than you, you're in deep trouble.
ali larter decided to choose something that resembles jessica alba's versace gown tt she donned last year (to much adoration and men not being able to concentrate on anything for the next week or two), only in a different colour and a much lower cut.
as much as i would love to say tt ali looks glam and i dig the dress, she looks saggy. and a bit bony, too.
hilary swank didn't surprise or wow anyone this year. if she thought that huge silver flower in her hair would make up for the lack of style, she was wrong.
black. spagetti strap. nothing impressive, looks like something ppl would wear to a funeral with a black cardigan on.
and i realised, that for the entire night, hilary looked quite plastic. her totally unmovable hair didn't help.
botox, anyone?
another person that was expected to WOW but didn't wow was renee zellweger.
she looks like those governesses the kids in europe had in the early 20th century. she looks like a schoolteacher. she look like a person related to boring-ness and law enforcement. she does not look fun. she reminds me, eerily enough, of my pri school vice principal.
beyonce looked glamourous. really glamourous.
she was oozing sex appeal, and her golden globes were well supported and well emphasized by her stylist. picked the correct dress, too, with a cut so high couldn't possibly wear granny knickers or go pantie-less, and hugged the booty so tight 'bootylicious' was given a whole new meaning. she posed for cameras, smiled, jutted out that famous tush, stuck out her globes with great poise, and flipped the hair when required.
but.... it's like, so BEYONCE. i mean you would totally expect her to wear something like that. that's so boring. i mean when i saw i was like, 'didn't she wear something like that before??' all gold and shimmery and boobie revealing?
meanwhile, somewhere out there, like a lost sheep, was ivana baquero.
the pan's labyrinth star looked totally lost, and totally out of place. i know this is the first time she's at a major award show, but that does NOT give her the excuse to wear a plastic bag over an oversized cardigan. NO. goodness, doesn't she watch award shows? and realise that hey, you CAN'T wear a plastic bag to an award show. i know paris hilton does tt sometimes, and bjork managed to kill a swan to wear it once, but they're both insane! and they're no longer invited to major award shows, are they? that's a SIGN.
interestingly enough, when i went to getty images editorial site, i found SO MANY pictures of penelope cruz.
they were in almost every page for the first 20 pages, and there were a few pages that had her pictures for 2/3 of the page. i dunno what is
with the sudden obession over penelope, maybe tomkat's getting boring, maybe she insisted on getting her picture taken at every angle, maybe they mistook her for salma hayek and thought she had a boob degrade. but i know for sure tt her dress is not something that gets the shutters flying violently.
the original salma hayek, now, flaunted her golden globes so saucily it only proves that she is certainly blessed by god.
the woman fills up every milimetre of that dress! i seriously don't know how she manages to flaunt those girls beautifully every single time with every single dress, but i do know that age defintely makes people look better. salma hayek is one of those people who make ageing look good. and do you realise something is wrong with emily de ravin's green dress to your right? it's not supposed to look like that, right?
i'm a little lost about sienna miller here.
i dig the train, i really do, it's gorgeous, and she can pull it off. and i suppose the gold thingy kind of gets to you after a while, since it reminds me of ferrero rocher covering. she looks like those 19th century maidens.
what i definitely do NOT dig is her hairdo.
little miss swiss is not the way to go. especially with the weird back parts sticking out. so you say tt long flowing hair does not work on the dress? bun it up!
of course, don't bun it up like THIS.
svetlana metkina looks like a dominatrix in a porn movie. it's alarming. with the studs and all. doesn't help tt her dress looks as if it's made out of metal or smth. and that her boobs are so untastefully jutting out. get a stylist, my friend. or fire your current one if she let you wear that disasterous thing. or perhaps just find a person tt has good taste tt you can go shopping with.
you thought silver was scary? wait till you see BRONZE.
simba decided tt he's had enough with the circle of life and decide to hop by. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT HAIRDO?? she looks as if she just stuck a finger into an electrical socket. and tt shrug of her isn't improving situations, y'all. she's staring to look a little like those cannibals tt live in secluded forests and hunt tigers for lunch. my mom choked on her dried cuttlefish when she went up to present an award.
the woman in GOLD wasn't too bad.
chandra wilson pulled off another nice gown. the colour totally fits her, yes, but i am a bit skeptical over the cut. her girls don't look stable in tt dress. but aside from tt, i'd say well played. the dress skims her figure, doesn't make her look like a dim sum.
nicolette sheridan pulled off a great monochrome number.
it's tough to be known in a superficial world where the It people are usually the young 'uns. it's really tough to shine in an awards ceremony when you're surrounded by glamorous women half your age wearing shimmy outfits and your partner doesn't really look a good as brad pitt (who is probably a few metres away). it's even tougher when you act as a sexy housewife and you've had not-so-great plastic surgery. so i say BRAVO to nicolette for showing not too much skin such tt ppl will think she's desperate (no pun intended), for choosing a colour tt matches her tan, for overpowering tt man next to her, for picking an age-appropriate gown tt works wonders.
naomi watts shone out from the normal styles.
wearing smth that looks as if it's from some ancient civillisation can be a good thing, if you know how to pull it off. the lovely miss watts managed to shine and ensure tt the dress did not overpower her. the intricate beading is an eye-catcher, and OMG she has the cutest earrings i've ever seen anyone wear to teh golden globes.
speaking of earrings, jessica biel's pair has got to be the first pair i've ever seen tt can match the watermark of the AFP, lol.
a pic of her w/o the mark to enable you ppl to see her better.
glam, isn't it? the piled up sexy yet ruffled hair, the glowing tan, the white teeth. i'm sure everyone would understand why justin timberlake talked to her quite a bit tt night.
and so WHAT if hilary swank wore this dress before? i declare tt jessica biel wears it better. and since jessica alba isn't around, she can be the new 'sex bunny' of the golden globes this year. look how high tt slit goes. talk abt flirtatious.
justin t's ex, tho, wasn't too happy abt his flirtatious ways with the biel bunny. in fact, she was utterly furious and the ex couple had a war of words.
and celebs claim to be 'good friends who support each other' after breakups. my ass. this is what actually happens. you have a bitchfit during a major award show, that's what you do.
and if tt doesn't work out? you wear your supposed wedding gown just to rub it in.
HAH justin! so you thought YOU can be the only one who could wear what was supposed to be your wedding tux. NO ONE CARES, do they? after all, it looks like a normal suit. but me? NO! i'm at the centre of attraction, justin, cause i'm wearing my WEDDING GOWN! that's right! the one you chose cause you said i look pretty in it? i'm wearing it now, sucker! and this is just to remind you tt you've let go of a really fantastic catch - ME! we could have been together forever, justin. you could have seen me walk down the isle wearing this. but too bad, you'll just see me wear on the golden globes.
ergh. petty celebs get on my nerves everytime.
and so WHAT if j.t. went to the globes?
it was eva longoria who had the sexyback.
as if she wasn't good looking enough, eva chose to wear a blue gown tt made her look sexier and hotter. and may i say that her makeup artist and hair stylist rock.
we totally love jen garner. she's an all-rounder, no? and she also doesn't have flabby arms. and she now has a baby with ben affleck, and we really want to wish them all the best.
but jen... i know it's crucial to lose the baby fat... but to look like a STICK?
honey, it's just not the way to go. she looks tired and worn out. and i think she did something with her face although i can't really tell what exactly did she do to it. the only thing i know is that her face changed. and not in a good way, too.
it's no longer radiant, isn't it? she looks really tired and stressed out.
maggie gyllenhaal, on the other hand, also gave birth to a baby girl in october, but didn't lose the baby fat. or at least she didn't lose as much as jen did.
i totally understand tt baby fat is hard to lose. it's not easy. i have my mom for proof of that, and sometimes i tend to wonder what she would have looked like if me and my bro didn't cause the stretchmarks and the excess flab. i'm also all for the 'curvy woman', cause not everyone can be as glam as jess alba or eva longoria. but i would also like to know why maggie chose a dress that made her look larger and flabbier.
jennifer lopez got in touch with her indian roots and chose to wear something that looks like a stylemart sari.
haha ben! look at me! you decided to dump me for the other jennifer, but now look! i'm the one with the curves and the sari! i'm the one with the sexyback! revenge has never been so sweet in my life! even when i wore that sausage dress with chris last time just to piss him off!
i think she's threatened, look at how stressed she looks like. and sure the two of you can laugh and giggle and cameras take pics of that but get this - marc and i can do that too! i bet you're regretting it right now, cause if you had married me, you'd be going to the golden globes with the hottest woman on earth, but NO! she wasn't good enough for you! let me tell you this - i'm J to tha LO, and karma goes around!
and don't give me that look! i know it's allicia keys' song, but it's MY line.
also donning black, but in a not so good style, is gillian anderson.
what is wrong with hollywood mothers? aside for heidi klum and a few exceptional others, like kate beckinsale, the rest of them start looking like ntuc cashiers after they've given birth. i love gillian, i really do, especially the entire 'X files' thingy and her bob red hair that i SO BADLY WANTED at the age of seven.
but now her hair's all washed out, she looks really ageing. and that outfit of hers isn't making much sense.
felicity huffman picked a lovely colour.
unfortunately the gown also made her look potentially pregnant.
'potentially pregant' seemed to be the 'in thing' this year at the globes. when angelina jolie wears it and has the hottest man on earth next to her, you know it's in.
she looks anorexic too, which is highly ironic. she looks washed out, and tired. another sign of a hollywood mother. i mean back in the day before brad she was quite glam, but now she looks.. not so glam. older, in fact. i really want to rub it in and say 'that's what happens when you nab other woman's husbands' but i won't, cause it's pointless to moon over the past.
even though my mother and i still think that jen aniston and brad were a far nicer couple. blondes birds of a feather flock together.
then again, it could just be because brad has been looking younger and younger.
if it's not obvious here, go find footage of them during the awards show. it would be EXTREMELY obvious there.
i don't really know emily blunt, but there was a lot of hype surrounding here. a bit like emmy rossum circa 2004.
what i do know is that she and her stylist have good taste.
if that's not a good way to start off a flourishing movie career, i don't know what is. she won a globe for her performance in gideon's daughter, directed by the man that sang 'christmas is all around' in love actually. how times change.
some people, like jack nicholson, treated the golden globes as 'take your daughters to work day'.
yes, people. GAPE. that is, jack nicholson's daughter. she better thank her lucky stars that she doesn't look like him. beautiful dress. i want one.
katherine heigl also decided to wow the crowd in a black number.
it's the in thing, isn't it? to wear a strapless gown with a huge frilly bottom. but i think she took it a step too far and pinned the bottom up. i would love to know how she managed to walk in that thing, and if she could have training classes so that i could join and learn how not to make a fool of myself in heels.
kate winslet looked simple yet stunning.
now that's what i call ageing beautifully. she lets the wrinkles do their work. she's got crows' feet. she says NO to botox. i won't be surprised if she supports greenpeace. it's just lovely how she's managed to age so gracefully over the past 10 years. i'm still a huge fan, and i still do like watching her act - she's hypnotizing, in a sense. like how she took our breaths away in titanic 10 years back. stellar performance. although i do feel that the lipstick is a bit too harsh, but it could be part of the '60s' feel.
if anyone wondered what could have been, if jack had survived and he and kate lived happily ever after, here's an idea of what they would be like:
sofia milos is unknown to me, but she apparently likes being at the centre of attraction. either that, or she knows that a lot of people are out to kill her and she's hell bent on having revenge.
shonda rhimes looked as if she just came from south east asia - in a raincoat.
that would be the case, or she might also be acting as a flasher.
WHO IN THE WORLD WEARS THAT SORT OF THING TO A RED CARPET??
another equally ridiculous notion was rinko kikuchi, who chose to amuse.
i don't really know what to make out of this. it has got to be couture. but she should know better that most couture lines are unwearable. the balls hanging at the bottom look like the pom poms you sew on a clown's costume. she looks like an overturned purple flower. or a sea coral. i'm not too sure. at least she wore decent shoes, thank god.
to prevent further detoriation of the eye, let us proceed to reese witherspoon!
the colour totally matches her personality. LIKEOMG! it's bubbly, it screams 'SUNSHINE!' and she also managed to match her pinkish accessories. i like.
i TOTALLY dig her bling.
it's not too much until she starts looking like an amazon woman, but it's not too minimal either. it balances the striking yellow of her dress.
the shoes are also pretty cute.
i suddenly want her outfit so bad.
looking rather va-va-voom despite lack of cleavage and bodice is maria menounos.
she manages to look good every single time. although i am a bit ergh-ed by her rebonded hair which makes her look mature, i just love the colour of her dress. FOREST GREEN! omg! i didn't expect anyone to pull marcia cross this year.
another MM didn't make it to my oohlala list. mia maestro.
it's bad enough that she's wearing that thing that could possible smuggle drugs and cigerettes into countries, and to make matters worse, she chose to take tons of pictures with SALMA HAYEK, sex goddess, making her look worse in the process.
that shade of purple should be banned from the red carpet. it makes celebs look washed out.
hayden panettiere looked highly age-appropriate.
pretty! the pink matches her tan, and the dress hugs her curves yet she still looks modest.
wearing a similar pink but not such great tan is drew barrymore.
she who committed a great crime against mammaries last year decided to hold her golden globes in place firmly. even hugh grant looks appreciative. it is, i say, a very nice dress. however, the fake tan is not exactly stunning. her face is a totally different colour.
and i also think that she overplucked her eyebrows, causing the entire outlook to become worse.
oh, DREW.
i loved to note that jennifer love hewitt found a dress that managed to show off her supercurves.
the colour is lovely, matches her hair. her hair is pretty well done up, too. although i think she did put on a bit of weight, didn't she?
THE BATTLE OF THE PURSES
every year stars try to outdo each other, sometimes they even try to outdo themselves. even purses make the difference.
we check out this years' top contenders for 'most outstanding purse'.
jada pinkett smith decided to go with a box-ish one, full of bling and gold. very stylish. note how the bling manages to match her dress' colour. it's also small and compact, and doesn't look bulky.
having a similar purse, only fatter and having larger bling, is julia louis-dreyfus.
salma hayek decided to forgo the bling this year and chose a simple stunning white and gold purse, which oddly looks like a spectacle case from some angles.
jLo, being jLo, couldn't be out of the fray and chose something that totally contrasted with her sari - a modern gold, black and red purse, which looks curiously similar to the latest red motorola phone. she's trying to say that she's making a statement throught a major award show - bound to make AIDS activists worldwide love her.
helen mirren couldn't possibly not be in the contenders list. she's the bloody queen, and she makes a wise choice of an age-appropriate purse - with tons of bling on top, of course.
naomi watts didn't have much bling on her purse, but she decided to make it up with the large size her purse was.
feathers were oddly in, as you can see from sara ramirez's purse, which probably outshone her and her dress.
the most astonishing purse i've ever seen. peta must have been in a rage at the sight of it. how many birds were killed in the process of making this purse? only sofia milos could tell us.
and since this post is far too long, i'd just have to talk about the after parties on another post. the after parties are usually funnier - paris hilton is around, along with other weird unknowns who try their best to be known.
golden globes isn't as huge as the oscars, but it still provides the occasional laugh and snigger, and produces a large amt of wannabes and has-beens at their after parties. this year is no exception - only probably more interesting than previous years.

we totally love jen garner. she's an all-rounder, no? and she also doesn't have flabby arms. and she now has a baby with ben affleck, and we really want to wish them all the best.
but jen... i know it's crucial to lose the baby fat... but to look like a STICK?
honey, it's just not the way to go. she looks tired and worn out. and i think she did something with her face although i can't really tell what exactly did she do to it. the only thing i know is that her face changed. and not in a good way, too.
it's no longer radiant, isn't it? she looks really tired and stressed out.
maggie gyllenhaal, on the other hand, also gave birth to a baby girl in october, but didn't lose the baby fat. or at least she didn't lose as much as jen did.
i totally understand tt baby fat is hard to lose. it's not easy. i have my mom for proof of that, and sometimes i tend to wonder what she would have looked like if me and my bro didn't cause the stretchmarks and the excess flab. i'm also all for the 'curvy woman', cause not everyone can be as glam as jess alba or eva longoria. but i would also like to know why maggie chose a dress that made her look larger and flabbier.
jennifer lopez got in touch with her indian roots and chose to wear something that looks like a stylemart sari.
haha ben! look at me! you decided to dump me for the other jennifer, but now look! i'm the one with the curves and the sari! i'm the one with the sexyback! revenge has never been so sweet in my life! even when i wore that sausage dress with chris last time just to piss him off!
i think she's threatened, look at how stressed she looks like. and sure the two of you can laugh and giggle and cameras take pics of that but get this - marc and i can do that too! i bet you're regretting it right now, cause if you had married me, you'd be going to the golden globes with the hottest woman on earth, but NO! she wasn't good enough for you! let me tell you this - i'm J to tha LO, and karma goes around!
and don't give me that look! i know it's allicia keys' song, but it's MY line.
also donning black, but in a not so good style, is gillian anderson.
what is wrong with hollywood mothers? aside for heidi klum and a few exceptional others, like kate beckinsale, the rest of them start looking like ntuc cashiers after they've given birth. i love gillian, i really do, especially the entire 'X files' thingy and her bob red hair that i SO BADLY WANTED at the age of seven.
but now her hair's all washed out, she looks really ageing. and that outfit of hers isn't making much sense.
felicity huffman picked a lovely colour.
unfortunately the gown also made her look potentially pregnant.
'potentially pregant' seemed to be the 'in thing' this year at the globes. when angelina jolie wears it and has the hottest man on earth next to her, you know it's in.
she looks anorexic too, which is highly ironic. she looks washed out, and tired. another sign of a hollywood mother. i mean back in the day before brad she was quite glam, but now she looks.. not so glam. older, in fact. i really want to rub it in and say 'that's what happens when you nab other woman's husbands' but i won't, cause it's pointless to moon over the past.
even though my mother and i still think that jen aniston and brad were a far nicer couple. blondes birds of a feather flock together.
then again, it could just be because brad has been looking younger and younger.
if it's not obvious here, go find footage of them during the awards show. it would be EXTREMELY obvious there.
i don't really know emily blunt, but there was a lot of hype surrounding here. a bit like emmy rossum circa 2004.
what i do know is that she and her stylist have good taste.
if that's not a good way to start off a flourishing movie career, i don't know what is. she won a globe for her performance in gideon's daughter, directed by the man that sang 'christmas is all around' in love actually. how times change.
some people, like jack nicholson, treated the golden globes as 'take your daughters to work day'.
yes, people. GAPE. that is, jack nicholson's daughter. she better thank her lucky stars that she doesn't look like him. beautiful dress. i want one.
katherine heigl also decided to wow the crowd in a black number.
it's the in thing, isn't it? to wear a strapless gown with a huge frilly bottom. but i think she took it a step too far and pinned the bottom up. i would love to know how she managed to walk in that thing, and if she could have training classes so that i could join and learn how not to make a fool of myself in heels.
kate winslet looked simple yet stunning.
now that's what i call ageing beautifully. she lets the wrinkles do their work. she's got crows' feet. she says NO to botox. i won't be surprised if she supports greenpeace. it's just lovely how she's managed to age so gracefully over the past 10 years. i'm still a huge fan, and i still do like watching her act - she's hypnotizing, in a sense. like how she took our breaths away in titanic 10 years back. stellar performance. although i do feel that the lipstick is a bit too harsh, but it could be part of the '60s' feel.
if anyone wondered what could have been, if jack had survived and he and kate lived happily ever after, here's an idea of what they would be like:
sofia milos is unknown to me, but she apparently likes being at the centre of attraction. either that, or she knows that a lot of people are out to kill her and she's hell bent on having revenge.
shonda rhimes looked as if she just came from south east asia - in a raincoat.
that would be the case, or she might also be acting as a flasher.
WHO IN THE WORLD WEARS THAT SORT OF THING TO A RED CARPET??
another equally ridiculous notion was rinko kikuchi, who chose to amuse.
i don't really know what to make out of this. it has got to be couture. but she should know better that most couture lines are unwearable. the balls hanging at the bottom look like the pom poms you sew on a clown's costume. she looks like an overturned purple flower. or a sea coral. i'm not too sure. at least she wore decent shoes, thank god.
to prevent further detoriation of the eye, let us proceed to reese witherspoon!
the colour totally matches her personality. LIKEOMG! it's bubbly, it screams 'SUNSHINE!' and she also managed to match her pinkish accessories. i like.
i TOTALLY dig her bling.
it's not too much until she starts looking like an amazon woman, but it's not too minimal either. it balances the striking yellow of her dress.
the shoes are also pretty cute.
i suddenly want her outfit so bad.
looking rather va-va-voom despite lack of cleavage and bodice is maria menounos.
she manages to look good every single time. although i am a bit ergh-ed by her rebonded hair which makes her look mature, i just love the colour of her dress. FOREST GREEN! omg! i didn't expect anyone to pull marcia cross this year.
another MM didn't make it to my oohlala list. mia maestro.
it's bad enough that she's wearing that thing that could possible smuggle drugs and cigerettes into countries, and to make matters worse, she chose to take tons of pictures with SALMA HAYEK, sex goddess, making her look worse in the process.
that shade of purple should be banned from the red carpet. it makes celebs look washed out.
hayden panettiere looked highly age-appropriate.
pretty! the pink matches her tan, and the dress hugs her curves yet she still looks modest.
wearing a similar pink but not such great tan is drew barrymore.
she who committed a great crime against mammaries last year decided to hold her golden globes in place firmly. even hugh grant looks appreciative. it is, i say, a very nice dress. however, the fake tan is not exactly stunning. her face is a totally different colour.
and i also think that she overplucked her eyebrows, causing the entire outlook to become worse.
oh, DREW.
i loved to note that jennifer love hewitt found a dress that managed to show off her supercurves.
the colour is lovely, matches her hair. her hair is pretty well done up, too. although i think she did put on a bit of weight, didn't she?
THE BATTLE OF THE PURSES
every year stars try to outdo each other, sometimes they even try to outdo themselves. even purses make the difference.
we check out this years' top contenders for 'most outstanding purse'.
jada pinkett smith decided to go with a box-ish one, full of bling and gold. very stylish. note how the bling manages to match her dress' colour. it's also small and compact, and doesn't look bulky.
having a similar purse, only fatter and having larger bling, is julia louis-dreyfus.
salma hayek decided to forgo the bling this year and chose a simple stunning white and gold purse, which oddly looks like a spectacle case from some angles.
jLo, being jLo, couldn't be out of the fray and chose something that totally contrasted with her sari - a modern gold, black and red purse, which looks curiously similar to the latest red motorola phone. she's trying to say that she's making a statement throught a major award show - bound to make AIDS activists worldwide love her.
helen mirren couldn't possibly not be in the contenders list. she's the bloody queen, and she makes a wise choice of an age-appropriate purse - with tons of bling on top, of course.
naomi watts didn't have much bling on her purse, but she decided to make it up with the large size her purse was.
feathers were oddly in, as you can see from sara ramirez's purse, which probably outshone her and her dress.
the most astonishing purse i've ever seen. peta must have been in a rage at the sight of it. how many birds were killed in the process of making this purse? only sofia milos could tell us.
and since this post is far too long, i'd just have to talk about the after parties on another post. the after parties are usually funnier - paris hilton is around, along with other weird unknowns who try their best to be known.
