Ah, I love the Golden Globes fashion on the red carpet.
Celebrities are a little more relaxed (or tipsy) and not as precisely styled as
they are at the Academy Awards. As with all major awards shows, I am choosing
my favorites of beautiful embroidery.
Lupita Nyong’o has been ruling the red carpet for well over
a year now. She is a designer favorite and fan favorite because she can carry
off the most daring colors and styles. I loved her purple Giambattista Valli
Couture gown here for the fabric appliqued bodice. Using several shades of the
violet hue, layers of organza were layered in a highly dimensional embroidery
technique.
Into the Woods’ Anna Kendrick wore a beautiful Monique Lhuillier gown from the upcoming pre-fall 2015 collection. The designer favors
delicate embroidery (I have designed some for her myself) Varying the density
of the sequins on her dress helps emphasize the handmade nature of the
embellishment. It also helps to flatter the lines of the body.
Anna Faris was half of the most adorable couple at the
Golden Globes (with hubby Chris Pratt). She looked lovely in a Reem Acra gown.
The beading built up texture with irregular lines of sequins and beads then
stacked into larger dimensional flowers. This looks great with sleek, body
hugging silhouettes that you want to look rich without adding bulk.
Emma Stone
looked stunning in a jeweled bodice and pant combination from Lanvin. This had
an old Hollywood glamour to it that few people can pull off. The embroidery
looks opulent with mostly crystal Swarovski jewels with pops of ruby and jet
colored jewels to add color. The oversized bow on the side lent a dramatic
edge.
Sienna Miller’s Miu Miu dress bore several different embroidery
techniques. Her neckline had a beaded edge; the bodice had overlapping sequin
blossoms. The skirt portion of the gown had flowers made more traditional thread
embroidery.
The Golden Globes Awards celebrate the best in the art of
entertainment. It only seems fitting that the red carpet fashion are works of
art worn by the people who work hard at it.
