Sequins and Spanx

DEBORAH CROMBIE: Did anyone watch the Golden Globes on Tuesday night? I'm not a huge awards show junkie, but I do like to watch them, partly to see what movies and TV I have missed in the previous year and might now want to watch--and then there's the FASHION! (My daughter and I like to watch together virtually and message our takes.) What is a better antidote to the continuously depressing news cycle than an evening of looking at gorgeous clothes--on the men as well as the women. The Globes did not disappoint! 


Even if you didn't tune in live, all the showstoppers are all over the internet now. Here's Vogue's take. And here's the New York Times which I hope you can see subscription-free. Sorry I can't add any photos of the dresses and tuxes but they will all be under copyright.

I've never seen so many sequins--it was definitely a glittery night!

Some of my faves were Jenna Ortega's ethereal Gucci (although I thought some of the other bandeau gowns came off a bit like partially wrapped mummy...), Michelle Williams rocked Gucci, too, in her wonderful sea ruffle dress. Michelle Yeoh was stunning in Armani (I was so thrilled for her win!), and I loved Selena Gomez in Valentino, and Letitia Wright in Prada. Claire Danes in chenille bedspread by Giambattista, maybe not so much. 

The men looked great, too. Loved all the pink, especially Jerrod Carmichael's pink tux. 

Of course, contemplating all the hours spent in Spanx and push-ups and heels, I was just as glad to be watching, not wearing.

Any frivolous fashion favorites, dear REDs and readers? And what about the awards themselves? What winners (or losers) in the various categories shouldn't be missed?
