The Golden Globes 2013

It has been already in every fashion website, every television channel, E!, Vogue, JustJared... But I always like to make my own critics and choose my favorite (and not so favorite) dresses from every red carpet, maybe in my head I think I'm Joan Rivers.

So yesterday were The Golden Globes, many said that it was a lame red carpet but I think there were some interesting dresses and some... that I rather save all my comments.

Here's a selection after watching the live transmission and some sites like French Vogue, JustJared, Vogue Mexico, etc.

 Amy Poehler in Stella McCartney. Not that I think is one of the best dressed, but you have to give her some credit for showing up with something classy and decent.

 Meh! That's all I have to say. And I don't care if Anne's wearing Chanel Haute Couture it's still a boring dress.

Helena Boham Carter always in lace dresses and in black (by Dolce & Gabbana). I like her and even though she's always on the worst dresses lists I think at least she has her own style.

For me is Katniss Everdeen and not Jennifer Lawrence. I loved how she looks in that Raf Simons for Christian Dior Haute Couture. Perfect hair and make up. And I love her and I love Raf so...

Hoochie mamma! She looks beyond tacky in her Muhair Zurad dress. I keep thinking that she's too curvy for that dress and that she looks like Niurka.

 On the other hand, Julianna Margulies looks awesome in her Emilio Pucci dress, same lace-see-through-idea as J.Lo's dress but we can even compare them. She looks flawless, sexy and classy.

My favorite!!! Julianne Moore once again wearing a design from her friend Tom Ford. Black & white, an all time classic. Great silhouette. Great accesorizing. Great hair. Greatness!

Wrong hair choice, wrong belt. I think the buckle and the collar is too much. But Kate Hudson chose a beautiful Alexander McQueen dress.

I used to like Zac Posen a lot... But from the dresses I saw on this red carpet, Kelly's my favorite. She looks fresh plus her hair and the color of the dress matches perfectly.

Another girl I'm fixated with. Marion Cotillard is gorgeous. She wore a custom made Raf Simons for Christian Dior and also a new hairdo.

Like a character from "Dangerous Liaisons" or whatever they said... I still think Lucy Liu always looks fabolous in a dress. This time she went for a Carolina Herrera gown with a floral pattern that gave the red carpet a new breath.

Nicole Kidman said she lost interest in fashion and she gained it back with the new movie she's working in. Her choice, a black Alexander Mcqueen that made her look like a fine china (as always).

Hmmm... Isn't she like 12 years old?! The dress, the hair, the push-up... Everything made her look like she came out of "Real Housewives of New Jersey", like a botox injected lady. Dress by BCBG Max Azria.

I haven't seen "Downton Abbey" but I guess it's getting on my to-do list. Michelle Dockery wore a tight dress with gold lace by Alexandre Vauthier and he looked amazing. For me another one of the best dressed from this Golden Globes.

And finally Sienna Miller! Meh! First of all she's a home wrecker (reason number one to hate her) and second of all, she looks absurdly pale with that two pieces dress by Erdem. I must confess I'm an Erdem fan, he always has beautiful patterns, amazing fabrics, romantic looks but... this dress is a fail for me (just like Kirsten Stewart's), I think somethings are meant to stay in a runway.

Anyways, this is just my humble opinion...

Alexander McQueen by Nick Knight

Like two days ago I posted an entry about Alexander McQueen getting the Outstanding Achievement Award at the British Fashion Awards. Also I named a video that Nick Knight was doing, also styled by Edward Enninful and with a soundtrack by Björk.

So thanks to my friend Faby, I got the chance to see the video and of course, start my emotional rollercoaster, loving every second of the video, listening to Björk and also kinda teary and sad because of Lee's absence in this world.

I think the video is a master piece and McQueen's designs go beyond anything that we've ever imagined to see on a runway, plus Knight's amazing images and Björk's unique voice.

God save McQueen

An award for McQueen

Tomorrow at the British Fashion Awards, Alexander McQueen will receive a posthumous award for his contribution to fashion. Stephen Jones, Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano are some of the designer who have won this prize before.

To celebrate this unique event/award, Nick Knight will present a film he directed featuring Lee's most iconic pieces, styled by Edward Enninful and with a soundtrack by Björk.

"This film is my way of speaking about a very unique and important person who changed my life. My desire was to speak in some way about the dark and the light contained within Lee, and within us all," Nick Knight said.

"The Outstanding Achievement Award celebrates the exceptional talent of an individual who has contributed to the British fashion industry, both internationally and here in the UK, throughout their career," Harold Tillman explained. There was only one person we felt we could recognise with this award this year - Lee McQueen."

"We are honoured to accept the BFC Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Award and that the British Fashion Council have recognised Lee's work and contribution to the British fashion industry," Jonathan Akeroyd, chief executive of Alexander McQueen, said.

As I've always said, McQueen could never be replaced and his work will be recognize everywhere, his legacy is one of a kind, his work, unique.

After checking all of the nominees I found that they're too many designers that I have to research, but I have my favorites in some of the categories, like Alexander Wang, Tom Ford, Proenza Schouler, McQueen ♥ and Iman, which I think it's a great model, legendary, gorgeous, so good looking and she's 54! And of course, I hate the fact that Michael Kors is getting I prize, I know he's huge in the U.S, but I think he's a basics designer, he has some good stuff, but not remarkable. Oh well, is Michael Kors and it's U.S and they love him, I don't. I found that there's more talented people designing.

Can't wait to see the red carpet and what everyone's gonna wear and of course the winners. Here are some photos from some of the nominees.
