The first big night of the award-season calender was held on Sunday when the Golden Globes were handed out. The LA ceremony definitely set the bar high for red carpet fashion for the Oscars and for the rest of the award season which, of course includes London’s increasingly glamorous BAFTAs.
It’s also a great time to watch the grown-up women of Hollywood show us exactly how it’s done (or occasionally demonstrate they need a better stylist).
As always, hats off to Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda who, time after time, show the world that just because we are over 50, doesn’t mean we can’t look red-carpet-fabulous.
Here are our favourite looks of the 2016 Golden Globe Awards…
Helen Mirren looks amazing as usual and at 70, she knows how to work an elegant neckline in everyone’s favourite – Black. A lot of us also have problems with our arms after a certain age, no matter how much you work on them. So an evening gown with sleeves is both elegant and comforting.
Jane Fonda proves that being 78 is no bar to doing high fashion. She is wearing couture, and… white and frills. And it works!
Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus looks amazing in this bandeau gown in lace. In black and navy, two colours which used to be a no-no worn together but are increasingly shown together by designers.
We seriously love this gown! Viola Davis rocks just the right amount of sparkle and shows off her curvy figure. The sheer, flared sleeves are also perfectif you’re not keen on your upper arms, and don’t look like an afterthought by the designer!
Julianne Moore is always one of our favourites. The all-over sequin gown isn’t for everyone but she pulls it off effortlessly.
While we adore Jamie Lee Curtis, notably that great haircut, we think that with her face shape and curvy bod, a dress with a V-neckline and a bit more structure would have worked so much better for her. This one just looks frumpy. However, navy is a great way to go if you’re bored with always choosing black as your go-to colour for evening wear!
