Golden Globes Top 10 Best Dressed and Best Makeup

The collective gasp of designers everywhere was almost audible as Hollywood's finest stepped out Sunday night into a torrential downpour. Some of the dresses (which were truly works of art) were exposed to the elements:

but later appear to have emerged no worse for the wear.

Without further ado, here are my choices for the Top 10 Best Dressed as well as my pickings for the best makeup of the evening.

1) Lea Michele: When she stepped on to the red carpet in that black Oscar De La Renta gown I gasped. Absolutely stunning and worthy of a Broadway diva turned Golden Globe nominee. I am so happy that the dress got stage time after Glee's win for Best Television Comedy/Musical.

2) Sandra Bullock: Bottega Venetta? Check. Purple? Check. Divine? You bet! The fabric of this gown had an ethereal sheen as she manoeuvred the crowd to accept her most deserved win for Blind Side. With such a bold colour a woman can be lost in such a statement dress, but not our beloved Sandra. She has the personailty to wear the dress. Love!

3) Drew Barrymore: A modern day Venus in Atelier Versace. Albeit I was not too fond of the hip fringe on certain camera angles, but the rest of the dress was perfectly tailored for Drew. Instead of washing her our, the nude-peach accentuated her fair, glowing skin.

4) Olivia Wilde: We all know that Olivia Wilde is one of my style icons and she did not let me down this evening. I was suprised that I actually liked this silver Gucci dress (in spite of the plunging neckline which always makes me nervous); however, the silhouette did wonders for Olivia's refined stature and it was just enough of a departure from her People's Choice Awards dress to make a true statement.

5) Jayma Mays: This Badgley Mischka dress for some reason reminded me of the infamous Julia Roberts Valentino Oscar gown. It must be the white detailing and tulle. Nevertheless, Jayma with her quiet elegance looked like a princess.

6) January Jones: At first glance I was ready to dismiss this black Lanvin dress, but at closer look I grew to appreciate the subtle details. January resembled a young Grace Kelly in this dress. Suprisingly, the headband was the perfect accessory.

7) Jennifer Garner: If I look this good after having children, I would wear this form fitting Atelier Versace too! The biased cut panels accentuate Garner's physique in all the right ways, keeping her lean and curvaceous at the same time.

8) Kate Winslet: Classic, refined, elegant, distinguished...There aren't enough adjectives to describe the ever beautiful Ms Winslet in Yves St Laurent.

9) Mo'nique: Hollywood's new golden girl picked a dress by Reem Acra that was the perfect reflection of her performance and her win. Look at Oscars! Here comes Mo'nique.

10) Dianna Agron: This silver Badgley Mischka dress was age appropriate, elegant and did not overpower Dianna's petite frame.

BEST MAKEUP OF THE GOLDEN GLOBES

1) Sandra Bullock: It could have been a risky choice picking purple shadow with a purple dress, but the silvery mauve was the perfect hue; this colour accentuated Sandra's rich brown eyes. Her look was completed by a flawless face and peach glossy lips.

2) Christina Aguilera: Thankfully foregoing her past inclination to overly theatrical-bordering-garish burlesque makeup, this mature Aguilera is stunning in nudes and light pinks.

3) Ginnifer Goodwin: A perfect dramatic cat eye that knows when to stop before reaching Cleopatra-proportions. Ginnifer's flawless skin never ceases to amaze me.

4) Dianna Agron: I love her silver, sculpted eye and neutral rose lip. Understated glamour.
