Fashion Picks and Nit Picks of Golden Globe 2012

The men looked gorgeous in their tuxedos. Leonardo looks good to me no matter what.

Leonardo DiCaprio in Giorgio Armani

For the ladies there were too many over-designed gowns. More is not better; it's just more. So many were sprouting out of feathers, flourishes and tiers of manipulated fabric.

Of the 90 or so images I looked at, these were my female favorites:

Jessica Alba in Gucci

Penelope Ann Miller in Pamela Roland

Sarah Hyland in Vintage Dolce Gabbana

Shailene Woodley in Marchesa

Not quite decided about these but they did have a unique appeal to me.

Selma Hayek in Gucci

Zooey Deschanel in Prada

Simple bodice with a fascinating bottom of painterly quality. (Perhaps feathers?)

Sophia Vergara in Vera Wang

Bird, reptile, fish or Cirque costume? All she needs is an appropriate snake headdress.

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci Premiere

A category of her own. Picture Tilda without the face and the jacket.

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann

The worst:
This looks like a chenille bedspread. Poor thing. She looks overwhelmed.

Ariel Winter in Dolce & Gabbana

We're off to see the Wizard. This gown's beautiful silhouette deserved better color treatment. She looks like the Jolly Green Giant.

Laura Dern in Andrew Gn

I have no words for this laser-cut greeting card parading as a dress.

Dianna Agron in Giles

My Mother's Baby-Blue Sequined Portieres (left side.) The beadwork is gorgeous but the zipper is so noticeable and for some reason it looks as if she didn't have time to finish getting dressed. She needs a clutch and something else...perhaps a touch-up for her roots?

Jodie Foster in Giorgio Armani

This has been way too much fun.
