2014 Golden Globes Style: The Worst, The Best, the Baby Bumps

Some of us watched (drank?) 
the Golden Globes last night.

A lot of my favorites won: Amy Poehler, Best actress in a TV series, musical, or comedy; Bryan Cranston, Best actor in a TV series, drama; American Hustle, Best motion picture, comedy or musical (it was fantastic); Leonardo DiCaprio, Best actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy (The Wolf of Wall Street was awesome too); Jennifer Lawrence, Best supporting actress in a motion picture; Her, Spike Jonze, Best screenplay, motion picture; and Breaking Bad, Best TV series, drama. I haven't seen 12 Years a Slave yet (Best motion picture, drama), but I plan to as soon as possible! 

Of course, while all these winners were being announced, something else was on my mind entirely. What were some of these people wearing!? I love seeing some of my favorite celebrities get glammed up (Amy Poehler looked great!), but then there were some fashion choices that were very questionable. So here it is, my Best and Worst Dressed of the Golden Globes.

I'll start with the worst and work my way up. 

Worst Dressed

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

Runner Up

Sandra Bullock in Prabal Gurung

Other Bad Decisions:

Hayden Panettiere in Tom Ford

Heidi Klum in Marchesa (I am so disappointed in her)

Julie Bowen in Carolina Herrera

Paula Patton in Stephane Rolland Couture

Rashida Jones in Fausto Puglisi

Worst Dressed Baby Bump

Drew Barrymore in Monique Lhullier 

 

Best Dressed:

Emma Watson killed it in Dior

 

Runner Up

Taylor Swift in Carolina Herrera

Other Fabulous Choices

Naomi Watts in Tom Ford 

Julianna Margulies in Andrew Gn

Emma Roberts in Lanvin 

Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph Lauren

Allison Williams in Alexander McQueen

I find it interesting that several designers were both worn best and worst, but sometimes it's about who is wearing who.

Best Dressed Baby Bump

Olivia Wilde was stunning in Gucci 

The Guys

I can't leave out my best and worst pics of the men!

Best Dressed 

Usher Raymond in Calvin Klein

Runner Up

Seth Myers

Worst Dressed

Alex Ebert in? The year 1800?

And that is my take on the Golden Globes. Who were your favorites? Least favorites? I felt like there were slim pickings this year!
