Fashion Review: Golden Globes 2012

It's awards season again and that means it's time for the stars to shine in beautiful couture gowns. We had some risk takers - Charlize Theron, Lea Michelle - but overall it was a pretty sedate night. I hope everyone picks up the ante for Oscar time. Here's who was best, worst, and who fell in the middle.

Best Dressed

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Dianna Agron in Giles was one of the best

dressed of the night. I'm not crazy about the tiered bottom but the bodice is stunning!

I'm crushing on Emma Stone in Lanvin. Her earlier turn in a mossy green made a

greater impact but this is still one of the more interesting looks of the night.

Amber Riley is the best she's ever looked in Badgley Mischka.

Charlize Theron brings drama to the Golden Globes.

This Dior gown is exactly what the awards season is missing.

Middle of the pack

Jessica Alba is beautiful in Gucci, styled by Brad Goreski,

you think Rachel Zoe would have done a better job?

Kate Beckinsale is simply beautiful in this simple for Roberto Cavalli dress

Paula Patton in Monique Lhuillier definitely stood out color wise

Reese Witherspoon is lovely in a red Zac Posen gown

Mila Kunis in Dior is graceful and elegant

Natalie Portman channels the 1950's in this pink dress

I love not seeing Angelina Jolie in yet another caftan, and the fit of this Versace gown

is great but the color combo isn't working on Angie, I prefer her in brighter hues.

Worst Dressed

I love Kristen Wiig, I just wish she'd start making better fashion choices than

this Bill Blass gown that washes her out. She's gotta go for it like a true leading lady!

Heidi Klum in an unflattering Calvin Klein dress

I hate to do this because she took a risk, but Lea Michelle in Marchesa

makes my worst dressed list. There was way too much going on

between the sheer elements, the embroidery and the shimmering fabric.

Kate Winslet in Jenny Packham looks frumpy, which is disappointing after

how amazing she's looked recently in the Stella McCartney gowns
