I love celebrity fashion. I spend hours a day reading mainstream and non-mainstream fashion blogs. I check out what's moving on e-tail sites from Neiman's to Shopbop. I check for updates on Intuition's celeb pages and I read my daily Perez. I watch Project Runway, What Not to Wear, Platinum Weddings, Say Yes to the Dress (although that's more for my wedding planner life) and I can't wait for the Racheal Zoe Project. My bookshelf is full of Lucky, SATC, Audrey, InStyle, Style A to Zoe. I devour fashion magazines cover to cover and usually find something to tear out in the meantime. I think fashion compliments are second to none. I was recently told "I wish I had the confidence to wear what you wear." Which doesn't mean I have confidence, by any means, but it means I fake it with the best of them. You get the idea.
I consider red carpet season second only to football season. I watch the before, during and after analyzing what's in. There are always trends. As the Golden Globes is the first show of the season, it sets the tone for what's to come. And boy is it glamorous. Diamonds and flash, but not in some Juicy, ghetto-fab way, but more of a Harlow, 40's, Tiffany's sort of way. Makeup wasn't specifically eyes or lips, but accentuating natural beauty. Hair was flowing, even when pulled back, looking shiny and healthy. And the dresses were beyond. White, cream, khaki and all shades in-between. Most everything was long. But again, it was all glamorous. And check it out - khaki is in from tops to nails and long dresses and specifically skirts are huge. Natural is better. Thank you 40's for influencing us once again. Post recession fashion is so fantastic.
I used to do a whole writeup but with running two companies my time is slim. So instead I just have some quick pics of my favs this Golden Globe run. They aren't representative of trends, but more the most standout striking non-trends that I saw. Maybe I would wear these things. Don't ask why. These few just struck me (thanks WWD for the pics):
