So, you've been bombarded with images of the Golden Globes' Red Carpet from every source possible. Best dressed, worst dressed, hot or not, fab or fugly. But this is different - this is the Golden Globe Red Carpet round up with a twist. It's from MY point-of-view. No, really, literally MY point-of-view as in what I would wear if I went to the Globes. ;)
Come on! Admit it. Everyone at some point has fantasized about living the life of a celebrity - especially wearing pretty (expensive) dresses and jewellery, getting made up and walking the red carpet to an exclusive event while paparazzi are yelling out your name and fighting each other to get the best shot of your outfit whilst you reveal the names of the lovely designers who were so kind as to dress you in the gorgeous outfit that you are wearing!
So, here I am, sharing my fantasy with all of you.
If I were walking the Golden Globe 2013 Red Carpet, I would...
Well, first of all, I would have to find a dress to suit my pear-shaped figure. So, may be something cinched in at the waist with a fuller skirt at the bottom to hide the bits I want to hide. Like this:
 |
| Jennifer Lawrence in a Dior dress |
Or a dress that's a little baggy on top, again with a cinched waist and then a little fitted but flowy on the bottom, like this gorgeous number that Lea Michelle was wearing:

But I like colour. I wouldn't wear a white dress or even a black dress because they usually just get lost in the crowd. Unless you are Eva Longoria and wearing a backless, frontless, bottomless gown that still manages to look classy:

But still, I would want colour. And hot as Claire Danes looks in this Red Versace, especially just a month after giving birth! Red on the red carpet is too cliché:

Even if I did decide to wear red, it would be in a wintery shade, since it's a winter event. Like what Jennifer Garner was wearing:

Not that in my quest for colour, I would want to go the Alyssa Milano route! No way! People would have to get their sunglasses out while talking to me, because that colour from head-to-toe would hurt your eyes.

And as much as I love nude, embellished gowns, like this one Isla Fisher was wearing:
 |

I couldn't wear that dress, as it wouldn't suit my figure. And great as embellished gowns look on the Red Carpet - you want to save your more stunning outfits for later in the Awards season. The Globes are just the beginning. You want to start on a great note but save your really killer dress for the Oscars - because that's just a whole, different ball(gown) game!
Also, I would stay away from large prints and motifs (I'm not even going to bother posting Lucy Liu's disastrous dress' photos) as they don't flatter a fuller figure. Even Tina Fey looks awkward - and she never looks awkward!

Something sleek and glamorous like what Michele Dockery wore would be perfect! To me, she was one of the best dressed of the night!

The detailing on the top and the slender fit of the garment helps accentuate the top half while flattering the lower half. I could wear something like that in a darker, wintery colour to better suit my figure. May be a maroon colour like Taylor Swift's dress:
 |
| Taylor Swift in Donna Karan |
Or a dark navy like this (although you can hardly see the colour in this dress):
 |
| Julianna Margulies' Emilio Pucci dress |
Perfect! Michele Dockery's dress in the colour of Julianna Margulies' dress. With the top lace portion in a silver/grey colour like what Kristen Bell had on her dress:

I would keep my makeup simple and natural but with the eyes accentuated like Michele Dockery's:
But since my hair is (much much) longer, I would wear it up like Emma Roberts, with a head-band may be:
I wouldn't need much jewellery as the dress is so gorgeous! But I would probably wear a nice pair of earrings since my hair is up. Probably diamond and emerald ones like Lea Michele's:

And a delicate Bracelet like Anne Hathaway's:

Add a pair of Loboutin heels to that and I'm all set to dazzle the Red Carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel! (If only!)
Wow! That was fun! Who else wants to try this on for size?
I would love to know what
