The Golden Globes 2012: Red Carpet

'The Golden Globes are to The Oscar's what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton' those were funny man Ricky Gervais' opening words at last nights 69th Golden Globes.  Whilst neither of the Kate's were at the ceremony last night (why would they be) but there were still plenty of fashion royalty on the red carpet, from Elle Macphereson (why though?) to Angelina Jolie.  We saw plenty of the top SS 2012 trends, undoubtedly the fish tail dress was the biggest trend of the night, as well as a bizarrely natural colour palette, black, white and nude swarmed the red carpet with the occasional splash of colour from the more confident starlet such as Paula Patton and host Ricky Gervais himself.

I'm spending my Monday morning exhausted from staying up so late to tweet all the best outfits.  Despite the exhaustion I still have to work and only have time for a quick post, so here's my red carpet winners:

Looking flawless as always was Jessica Alba in this stunning embellished Gucci Gown.  Her simply side swept hair, bare shoulders and minimal accessories only emphasized how perfect she truly is.  Hard to believe that this time last year she was the pregnant one at the CFDA's but it's true, now time to hit the gym....

Another who dared to bare was supermodel Elle 'The Body' Macphereson.  What she was doing there we cant quite figure out either, but never the less, she looked fabulous in the Zac Posen gown.  Although this is the nearly 50 year old mother who still rocks leather trousers.  The Body indeed.

Girl of the moment Rooney Mara stuck to her newely gothic roots with her black Nina Ricci gown.  The former girl next door has undergone a dramatic transformation since she cut off all of her hair to star in David Finchers adaptation of Swedish phenomenon The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo it suits her like none other.

I cant help but compare Rooney to Twilight's Kristen Stewart, they both have that rigid awkwardness on the red carpet, but unlike K Stew, Rooney works it.  Going .To.Be.BIG in 2012.

Undoubtedly one of the most tweeted about dresses of the night was Clare Danes monochrome wonder by J. Mendel.  From the front the dress was pretty enough, but then she turned around and that back....I've never been a person to be a excited about a back.  But before now we all know Hilary Swank was the queen of a backless dress. Well move Hilary because Juliets back in town.

There were of course plenty of Faux Pas last night from the headbands to the velvet, and the men, well George Clooney, Adam Levine and a somewhat questionable waistcoat worn by Johnny Depp.  More to follow....
