Click through to current 2005 Golden Globes Fashion
The celebrities at the 61st annual Golden Globes for the most part looked like the well-dressed, mega-rich, super-toned and surgically enhanced stars we love.
With the exception of a few usually chic actresses who misstepped -- including Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger -- most of the actresses looked perfectly glamorous (if a little boring). And the men, in their dark suits and tuxes with ties, looked like perfect gentlemen.
The only eye-openers were the stars who seemed to be having bad hair days including Gwen Stefani's stiff white updo, Sharon Stone's spiked look and Al Pacino's silly ponytail and winged bangs.
Great looks
After seasons of color, black got a big push with endorsements from many of the younger stars including Jennifer Aniston and Christina Ricci in vintage Madame Gres.
Sarah Jessica Parker's Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Couture dress got points for a perfect combination of color (charcoal), pouf, beading and just looking like Sarah Jessica Parker (an important concept of style that even eludes the most gorgeous celebrities).
Always a trend-setter and risk-taker, Sarah's matching darker hair with it's full, pulled-back look and hair ornament would've been lost on more timid fashionistas.
Charlize Theron's fluttery butter-hued dress was just plain pretty. Her makeup was soft and feminine; curls sexy and face-framing.
Uma Thurman in her favored purple (remember it was a purple Prada dress she wore to the 1995 Oscars that made Miuccia Prada a favorite with celebs). This time Uma's satiny gown with its cascading ruffles gave her a classic Hollywood look.
Goddesses
More than a few stylists must've hit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Goddess collection of gowns this past summer.
Kim Cattrall in vintage Valentino, Sofia Coppola in black Azzedine Alaia and Jennifer Lopez in peach chiffon wrapped with gold and Susan Sarandon in cinnamon gathered dress all turned out as sirens in draped and gathered dresses.
The real deal
A few bold stars are showing the courage to look like actual humans.
Jamie Lee Curtis, with her graying hair and recent "More Magazine"layout where she posed unretouched in undies, leads the over-40 reality pack.
Matronly Meryl Streep seems comfortable enough in her own skin to do little to look younger or more glamorous, even though she's naturally attractive.
Even designer Marc Jacobs' muse, Sofia Coppola, took a turn for comfort when she decided to shun stilettos and go with flat shoes with a sexy dress.
Best eccentrics
It takes a died-hard individualist to consistently dress to the beat of their own drummer. Here are two that do:
-Johnny Depp in his funky fedora and dork glasses seems to get more disheveled by the year (but it sort of adds to his rakish charm).
-Diane Keaton, who has kept a funky menswear vibe to her look since "Annie Hall" almost 30 years ago, came in a long white coat, pearls, messy hair and white boots. Still pretty cool considering she's 57.
There's always next time...
It takes a special personality to carry off paillettes, not to mention shiny gold head-to-toe.
As fabulous as she is, Nicole Kidman just doesn't have the brashness to be convincing in such a get-up, even if it is Yves St. Laurent (although it might look convincing on Sharon Stone or Christina Aguilera) And did her breast pop out while she presented an award and said "Yikes" to make an adjustment?
Renee Zellweger's womanly figure looked just fine, it was the Caroline Herrara dress that didn't do Renee's curves justice. Too straight, too blah.
Sarah Ferguson (why was she even there?) in black lace Dolce and Gabbana dress with black opera-length black gloves. No special reason this look didn't work, it just didn't.
