Top 5: Best Dressed at the Golden Globes

Despite the rain and having to carry umbrellas down the red carpet, the stars came out last night for the 67th Annual Golden Globes Awards. We were pleasantly surprised by all the good fashion choices, but these five celebrities really wowed us with their stunning red carpet ensembles. Some were simple, others were modern, and a few were downright sexy. Overall, it was a night of inspiring fashion, so if you have a black-tie event to attend in the coming months, take note.

We always find it refreshing when celebrities wearing something other than strapless. That’s why actress January Jones tops our best dressed list in Lanvin. Plus, we love how she paired it with a black satin headband and bold red lips. Follow Jones’ silhouette lead with this silk dress from J. Crew.

Normally, we’re not huge fans of thigh-high slits, but actress Marion Cotillard actually pulled one off in her  Christian Dior gown. The peekaboo lace slip was sexy, but also offered a little leg coverage. The gorgeous green color was also a pretty departure from the sea of black dresses. Take a color cue from Cotillard with this jade dress by Marc Bouwer.

Kate Hudson went modern and architectural in a white Marchesa gown with a crumb-catcher neckline and a peplum skirt. This white silk gown has a similar feel to Hudson’s, without being so hard to pull off.

Penelope Cruz was the night’s knockout in a curve-hugging black Giorgio Armani Prive gown. If you take all the good things about Cruz’s dress-the lace neckline and the tiers-you get this gorgeous (and affordable!) BCBGMAXAZRIA frock.

Avatar actress Zoe Saldana wore a pretty strapless maroon Louis Vuitton gown with a textural tiered skirt. Our pick by Lela Rose is almost identical, except that it’s made of light silk tiers.
