Golden Globes 2011 Red Carpet

Hollywood glamour was alive at the 2011 Golden Globes Sunday evening. With a flurry of gorgeous emerald green, beautiful backless gowns and some stunning red sirens.  While most all of the women looked radiant, I chose the following gowns as my favorites as they demonstrated luxury without going too over the top.  Each of the gowns also maintained a sense of mystery, not revealing too much, but giving a hint at the beauty of the woman wearing the dress. While January Jones’ red Versace dress was fantastically worn, I can’t say it was my cup of tea (however, January wore that dress very well, and if you can pull such a dress off, why not?).

My top three choices would have to be the first three looks you see below: Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie and Eva Longoria. With that said, I was impressed with the fashion forward decisions, and enjoyed the red carpet arrival show as I tweeted with many of you. What were your favorites, out of curiosity?  I’d love to hear. I know I tend to choose dresses I might dream of wearing, so I do believe there is certainly a bias. Do share.

Hilary Swank – InStyle US – September 2010

Hilary Swank’s beauty has always impressed me and the fact that she is an amazingly talented actress just magnifies the intrigue. In the September issue of InStyle US, Hilary allows the readers to get to know her, as the title suggests, “In Close Range”.  She shares a lovely thought about finding the beauty in life whether you are married or living alone that I think may of my readers will appreciate.

Have a look at the collection of photos below, and if you click on any of the images you’ll be able to see them full size to enable you to view the writing/quotes more clearly.  I know for certain, I will be picking this issue up when it hits stands Friday, August 20th.
