When I was planning my wedding and shopping for bridesmaids gowns my friends would all tell me that I kept choosing “golden globe dresses”. In other words I kept picking slinky dresses that only a size below zero actress would look good in. I know that they were right, and I would hate if someone put me in one of those dresses, but on the hanger they just looked so beautiful! I love the glamour of the long silky gowns, and wish I had some occasion to wear them (other than a couple black tie weddings). Actually, I take that back…I would LOVE a big famous designer to GIVE one to me! I mean come on! Those stars that wear the outfits to the Golden Globes can afford to buy those beautiful numbers…but NOPE! Instead they are GIVEN all those designer clothes. Sometimes my friends… life just isn’t fair.
My favorite part of any awards show is the fashion. I always watch the red carpet events, and the show Fashion Police on E! which is aired the day after the event. So today I want to play make believe. Today I want to choose which dresses I would try on if I were a size below zero.
Let’s start with this number on Jennifer Garner. I personally think she is looking TOO skinny these days, but besides that I think this dress looked stunning on her. My squishy belly would look horrible in this, and I would look horrible in that particular color, but remember we are playing make believe!
Wow! Look at this dress on Marion Cotillard from the movie Nine. I find the color to be just stunning! I will take one of these please!

Now this dress that Dianna Agron from Glee wore is definitely something I would die to wear. I think it would fit my body type too since my trouble area seems to be my belly.

I guess if I were to be honest I would say I’d be happy, thrilled, honored ok..those words just don’t describe it…I would feel like a fairytale princess if I got to get dressed up like these stars do!
Now I do want to give a shout out to the men of the Golden Globes who rocked the bow tie. I am a HUGE fan, and think that the bow tie is classic and will never be dated or out of style.
As I started to swoon over these guys in tuxedo’s I realized that Captain Awesome does look pretty darn good in a tux..
So who needs Bradly Cooper or Taylor Lautner? Not me! But I will continue to swoon over those gowns. A girls allowed to dream right? Is it wrong to want to play dress up at 29??
I love your dresses! I don’t think we’re ever to old to play dress up. However, I’d like to find a dress that I looked fabulous in that allowed me to enjoy food, too!
That’s true! It’s the worst when you are uncomfortable and scared to eat! lol no one wants their zipper to break!
Uhh no, you’re still allowed to dream about this at 29 as long as I’m allowed to dream about it at 30! Deal?
Is Capt’ Awesome your hubby? He’s very handsome, what a lovely couple you two make!
I especially liked the hairdos at the GG awards this year. I actually cried because that was how I wanted my hair for my wedding…but it didn’t turn out right, and I STILL CAN’T GET OVER IT! Thanks for the fun post!
Ok Deal! Yes Captain Awesome is my husband.. here’s how he got his name http://afterthealter.com/the-reign-of-captain-awesome/
Oh no! You didn’t like your wedding hair?? I wouldn’t be able to get over it that quickly either:(
Wow! I love that second one. The color is amazing.
I realized when I graduated high school that more than anything, I would miss the formals. Then hubbs saved the day and joined the Marine Corps, and now I get to go to a ball every November. It’s a fairytale dream come true. Haha.
That sounds like so much fun! A Ball?! I would look forward to that every year:)
I LOVE Dianna Agron’s dress. It is so beautiful. And I agree, I would love to get all dressed up like this for a day and feel like a princess. How fun would that be!
But every girl/woman DESERVES a golden globe dress on her big day!
Though I do love all your choices, I think the Dianna Agron’s dress would be for a gorgeous wedding dress…
Halle Berry has a couple of MY dresses in her closet,… I want them back,..
I guess we are just going to have to call Halle and get them back!
You are right she has some REAL pretty ones from years past.
You picked really pretty dresses. I didn’t think they all were as pretty. Stopping by from SITS!
I love all of the dresses
Good choices! I love your sweet blog! I’m stopping by from SITS and I will be stopping by again! I hope you have a very Happy Wednesday!
xo,
KA
Thank you for stopping by!
That’s the only reason I watch it! I stop watching when the actual awards ceremony comes on, lol. I’m much happier sitting in my living room pretending to be Joan Rivers, hahahahahaha.
Did you see the Joan Rivers is back on E!’s fashion police? She is just too much! lol
I love bow ties. I think they are classy and very James Bondish. JP refuses to wear them for the wedding though
Awww bummer!
booo JP!
I so want to wear the Dianna Agron dress. It is simply stunning! After three kids in four years, I need a dress in this style.
Hehe, no it’s not bad that you like to play dressup! I do too! and I love your style!! Cute cute!
I love all these dresses!! I’d go with Dianna’s dress too to hide my stomach, it’s beautiful! I always say we need a black tie wedding to go on so I have an excuse to play dress up
Sometimes I complain when people make their wedding black tie because it like forces you to pay for a nice dress, and the hubby to rent a tux (even though now a days he could wear a black suit and black tie and look like he’s in a tux) but once I get in that pretty dress I just feel so good!
I posted my favorite dresses as well. My all time favorite was Toni Collete’s gold gown. And my pick for male was Zachary Levi. Yum.
I think that she looked beautiful in that gold gown!!! I thought Anna Paquin did the gold well also!
OOH first time I’m seeing Dianna Agron dress-it would make it to my list!! and sweet that you included your hubby!!
That dress Dianna Agron is wearing is positively yummy! If I ever write that best selling novel that gets turned into an Oscar winning screenplay, I want one just like that! Except maybe in that blue color up above. That’s full of the awesome.
I was just chatting with my friend the other day how I’d love to go try on designer dresses/wedding gowns for fun, and I’m married! Never too old for dress up!
I’m not sure you’re ever too old to want to play dress-up. You chose some great ones here.
Came over from SITS.
I love Marion Cotillard’s dress! That is spectacular.
You were talking about going out dancing, weren’t you? You need to find your Golden Globe dress and make the Captain take you out!
Garner looks so gorgeous! i bet she will look great in a sack
hey, we girls can dream
popped in here from SITS!
I LOVED the way Jennifer Anniston looked- sexy with that slit and bed head! And, Sandra Bullock was one of my favs too. I also agree with you about Jennifer Garner- too skinny!
Funny you said that! I loved the way Jennifer Aniston looked too! They always knock her for choosing black dresses and plain hair but I think it works for her. That one was also a dress I would’ve liked! As for Sandra Bullock I liked her too..but the people on fashion police didn’t. But what do they know?
The color was really pretty on her.
Sorry, I couldn’t disagree with you more. No man over the age of 12 should be caught dead wearing a bowtie, especially if it’s a clip-on.
No way! lol have you seen George Cloony in a tux? classic! Or…have you been to any charity event? Anyone who is anyone with money still even rocks the cumberbun..even the president of the united states rocks bow ties! Way off sir, way off:)
