Last Sunday evening (January 15th), The 2012 Golden Globes hit the Hollywood scene. Glamorous movie and television stars dazzled the red carpet. My favorite season, awards-season of course, is in full swing. In addition to awards handed out to Stars for their “Best Performances,” the Stars also displayed winning-looks on the red carpet. Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon, and Salma Hayek adorned my most favorite red carpet looks of the night.
 
Why are they so fabulous? How can you be fabulous, too? Keep reading.

 

Charlize Theron was hands down, my personal pick for best dressed of the night. She really wowed in a spectacular plunging, blush colored Dior Couture gown. Her dress was a true exemplification of how to pull off the upcoming spring trend of wearing pastel/pale colors. I absolutely adored her choice in hairstyle of a low, tousled, side bun – garnished with a sparkling Cartier headband. So, maybe skip out on the Cartier… but this is a beautiful, and easy up-do to recreate on your own. Although, what truly pulled Charlize’s winning look together was her confidence. Chalize looked elegant, poised, stunning – and girl knew it and worked it!


Reese Witherspoon, America’s Sweetheart, strutted in another look that I absolutely adored. Reese, in a red gown by Zac Posen, was genuinely beautiful. The sweat heart neckline of the gown complimented her collarbone, and simple diamond jewelry complimented the whole ensemble. Reese’s loose waves and natural makeup application go perfectly with her dress, she nails it without seeming to be trying too hard. Perhaps Reese’s best accessory is her bright, warm smile that she sparkled to the paparazzi. Everyone’s favorite blonde proved that when it comes to flaunting your best features, less is truly more.
 

Salma Hayek was a glitzy goddess in Gucci. Black and gold: amazing color combination. Salma elegantly pulled off the very trendy glam-rocker vibe. The gown featured a shimmering pleated lower half, and it’s no coincidence that long pleated skirts are on trend for this spring. And, with a beautiful dress, came beautiful hair. Salma’s luscious brunette locks were shiny and stylish in full, loose waves. The best part about Salma’s tresses were the lightened ends, super trendy and a cool way update if you are currently in a hair “rut”.
 
Granted, they have the help of professional glamour-sqauds, beauty teams, personal stylists, and top designers just begging to have them tell Ryan Seacrest “who they are wearing”! But, most importantly, these red-carpet-royalty knew what worked for them and how to rock it.
 
Remember Collegiettes, you don’t need the red carpet to be red-carpet-fabulous!

Jessica lives her life at several speeds. She talks too fast, eats too slow and over-analyzes too much.  When she’s not telling long-winded stories, sitting alone at the dinner table, or staring off into space, Jessica loves all things creative. Screenwriter, play director and poet at age 9, songwriter and choreographer at age 16, now, at 23, all she really wants to do is write, help others, and post Instagrams.  As a social media coordinator for multiple fashion brands, and a post-grad writer for Her Campus, she gets to do just that. Jessica is a Midwestern girl from the suburbs of Chicago, but she fell in love with city living during a summer internship in the Big Apple, and now calls NYC home. Jessica loves chocolate milkshakes, dance parties, Chippewa Ranch Camp, Friends re-runs, Chuck Bass and of course, spending time with her fans (read: family and friends).
