5 photos in galleryAside from the preponderance of ruffles, the big trend at the Globes seemed to be dark green. Or hunter green, or forest green, or British racing green — whatever you want to call it. I call it a welcome trend on a night where there were a lot of non-hues; I also call it potentially dangerous to all the actresses who wore it whose names aren’t Angelina Jolie, because I could see her going home and calling her posse of knife-collecting assassins and suggesting that they slice and dice all the women who upstaged her color story. Although, Catherine Zeta-Jones will probably be fine. I imagine her as being impervious to knives. She is certainly impervious to cranky toothpicks who don’t know how to do their hair. Oh, yes, Angie, I said it. I may have liked your green and I may have liked the dress on you, but we’re not blind to your head-suit. Perhaps some nutrients would help?

Honestly I think Angelina looks like a Miss America contestant from 1985. I vividly remember watching the pageant with my Grandma in her “parlor” and seeing a million versions of that dress throughout the 80s.
Tami Taylor, what have you done! It makes me so sad to see you cheapened thusly.
I’m w/ LisaD, except it reminds me of what people wore for the fancy dinners on Love Boat.
Oh so torn! I actually like Connie Britton’s dress but that maybe because I love Tami Taylor and think she does no wrong. However, the more I look at it the more I think it’s the least favorite. I love the color and the satiny aspect but something about it from the boobs up is not good. I don’t even think it’s necessarily that it’s a very boobtacular cut, I think it’s the sleeves. I think maybe without the sleeves it would’ve been a rather boring dress but one on which the neckline made sense.
Also torn on best dressed because the more I see it the more I like Angie’s but I picked CZJ because she’s so freaking awesome and does not age. I want to know her secret. Does she bathe in the tears of babies?
I think I hate it even more now than when it was “Well Played”. Just because she tends to dress and look like Elvira most of the time, does not give her a free pass. I always wondered how these people have so much money and still end up looking like a 5 year old playing dress up dressed them in the dark. What do they pay their stylists for anyhow?
That thing Britton is wearing has to be the Poster Dress for The Evils of Satin, the way it’s sewn up the front in two sections.
(re: Angie/Love Boat) …specifically something worn by Juliet Prowse.
whoa, i was actually shocked–SHOCKED–by the poll results. I mean, I seem to have horrible taste so it’s not odd for me to be on the outside votes, but seriously? For worst dressed Connie is beating Angie? no way. Yes, the dress is bad satin, but SHE looks really good–when I saw her I thought “what a knockout in that color”. She looks radiant, happy and healthy. Angie looks dour, sour and, yes, in desperate need of supplements if not a regular diet.
I picked CZJ, not becuase I think the dress is great but the colour is perfect on her. I have her colouring (dark hair and eyes, pale skin) but I never look all smooth and gleamy like she does. Darn her. I think Elizabeth’s dress was the worst. It didn’t fit and looked like it would slide down her torso if she jumped up and down..
I love the bodice on Elizabeth Moss’s dress, and I just wish the rest of it were simple and ruche free. It could have beaten CZJ’s curtain dress (which I love, and which she wears the hell out of).
I am embarrassed to admit that when I first read this – She is certainly impervious to cranky toothpicks who don’t know how to do their hair – I thought it was an uncharacteristically mean attack on Michael Douglas. (I am mesmerized by his poufy hair)
Hands down CZJ wins this one. But I’ve been wrestling with this dress since I first saw it. If we lost the green, and the texture (or not the texture), and made it a cream or ivory, is it not a wedding dress?
Oh, and Angelina, go eat a bagel. Carbs are good for you.
I honestly liked Connie’s least, but I can’t vote for Tami Taylor as worst anything, so I abstained.
Elisabeth was out puckered by Connie. Both dresses are dreadfully made but Elisabeth’s at least had soem promise.
I admit, I’ve been away from GFY far too long. In my absence, such changes!
1. A site revamp. Looks good!
On the other hand…
2. Is it still the original GFY girls writing? Or, are you using guest/ghost-fuggers? The tone is different. Not so…funny. Sorry to say that! I’m a huge fan and just have to say that if you are consciously doing something different here, then I hope you will consider going back to your old approach. You ladies are brilliant geniuses, and this is not the GFY that I know and adore. ???
I picked Mila’s dress mostly because I didn’t love any of the others. I think CZJ should have saved hers for the Oscars… it was just too big and dramatic for the Golden Globes.
I agree that Angelina’s dress, while it does envoke a little bit of Dynasty, it does look good on her. Much better than what she’s been doing lately. But Catherine’s dress is just gorgeous, AND that color is amazing on her. Connie just looks like she’s trying too hard.
I’ve always thought CZJ was gorgeous, and she continues to be my favorite here. She looks like a European princess dressed up for a state ball, but in the most fabulous way possible.
As for Angelina’s dress, it looks like she stole it out of Dorothy Zbornak’s closet. And as much as I wanted to grow up to be Dorothy Zbornak, let’s be honest, it wasn’t because of her sense of style. I don’t think the dress does anything to minimize her gauntness, becaues it looks too big for her — a strapless dress that’s form-fitting and well-tailored but not super-tight would have looked a million times better.
LOVE Catherine’s dress. Something about the color and texture remind me of Scarlett O’Hara.
It hurt me physically to vote against the boobtactular Tami Taylor, but I had to do it. But if there’s anyone who is good at forgiving, it’s her, so I’m hopeful I can still go hang out at her house in Dillon and sip some wine and get some good gossip and play with baby Grace.
I don’t think I’m comfortable with a world where Tami Taylor is “worst” in anything.
I liked Angelina’s dress, but not as much as CZJ’s. AJ had a vaguely 40′s thing going with the va va voom bust and the shape of the waist. I can see the 80′s association with the color and fabric, but I was having some LA Confidential flashbacks.
But it can’t hold a candle to La Zeta. She looked like a million bucks.
I almost voted for Elizabeth because of The Amazing Race shoutout. Looking forward to Feb. 20! I voted for Angelina instead because I just like to look at her. Sue me.
Continuing proof that satin is no one’s friend. I like the shade of green that Elizabeth is wearing the best, but she and Mila seem undone by to much ruching. CZJ for the win.
I love Angie’s dress and think not only is it great to see her wearing color, but that shade of green is particularly nice on her.
The hair, though. UGH. She needs a better cut, some hot oil, some damn nutrition, and someone to teach her how to use a round brush or something, GOD, I don’t even know. It’s awful.
CG – The girls have been on a marathon posting tear all week! It’s hard to come up with so many different ways to describe a green dress. Plus, this was a disappointing red carpet.
I agree with Allie…I MIGHT have voted for that CB dress, but it’s Tami Taylor, which automatically makes it second best. Behind MILA. This is a “principle of the thing” vote. Sorry if that’s off topic.
I had the same reaction as Carly, Catherine as a revivified Scarlett O’Hara. However, I still believe green is a color best eaten and not worn, Catherine’s dress actually looks like one giant textured spinach leaf.
That kind of peekaboo cleaveline (Connie Britton (no idea)) is rarely a good idea.
CZJ for the win. i do think this should have been saved for the oscars, but i think she was really just going all out in support of her husband beating cancer. this is one of their 1st major red carpets in awhile and i say that’s a perfect reason to celebrate by going all out.
angie or tami taylor??? both are bad and horribly fitting. i prefer the color of tami’s about a million times more than toothpaste green. sorry angie, you are the worst!!
