January 11th marked the 72nd year of the Golden Globes. The award season is under way and I'm sharing my favorite styles of the night. I get excited to see what the trends are on the red carpet. This year there were a lot of the same styles we have been seeing the past couple years. I was hoping for some variety and choosing favorites was hard. The favorite go to style of the night was a side part with curls. Really! This is the best the stylist could come up with? These women have amazing gowns on and all you could think of was a side part and curls. I narrowed down my hit and misses into four different catagories: curly, short, sleek, and up do's.
My favorite out of the curly looks was between Heidi Klum and Jessica Chastin. They both went for a classic look. The hair was shiny and perfectly waved.
My least favorite curly hair looks were Julianne Moore and Kathrine Heigle. I love Julianne but felt her hair didn't show off the dress. I would have put her hair in a chignon. Kathrine's hair was just so boring. Her hair would have been great in a half up do.
There aren't many options for short hair but I felt Kate Mara and Allison Manning did it best. I liked Kate's half up do. Allison's waves were beautiful and classic.
My least favorite short hair looks were Taryn Manning and Zosia Mamet. Taryn putting her hair in a half up do with that color was all wrong. It would have been more flattering to put it all up. Your style should complement your haircolor not make it look like a mistake. Zosia's gray hair really wasn't working for me. Paired with her dress she just looked washed out. Her waves were poorly done. If done correctly this look would have worked.
Sleek hair is a hard style to pull off. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Rosamond Pike did it well. I loved Julia's middle part and hair behind her back. Rosamond's angled bob was perfectly shown off with her sleek look.
The sleek hair misses for me were Katie Holmes and Jemima Kirke. Katie's extra long pony was not right and Lorde just pulled the look off better. It was like a long horse tail hanging there. Jemima's hair looked oily with her hair colored that way. Her hair being all platinum would have complemented this look better and a different dress.
I wasn't really a huge fan of anyone's up do's. I decided Keira Nightly and Emily Blunt were my favorites. Keira's up do looked perfect with her dress. I really enjoyed her whole look. Emily's braid was the only one that worked. She didn't look like a sweddish milk maid. I liked the texture and subtle braid.
The up do's I really didn't care for were Camila Alves and Kerry Washington. The up do Camila was sporting made her hair blonde highlights look like stiff noodles. A little less hair spray would have helped this look softer. Kerry's do was just boring and flat. She could have pulled off bigger hair and something more sculpted.
My hope is that for The Screen Actors guild awards and The Oscars the hair is less boring. Don't be afraid to complement the beautiful dresses. Have fun with it, think outside the expected look.
Love your hair. Love yourself.
