Award Season gets off to a modest start

I love this time of year, when awards ceremonies give celebrities an excuse to indulge in red carpet dressing. At the Golden Globes I noticed a new modesty sweeping the scene, which trend was also seen at the Allan Border Medal Night.

Back in Beverly Hills, dresses in every hue and texture featured high necklines, long sleeves, and tailored silhouettes.

Gold, silver, metallics and sequins were popular.

Some dresses were less flattering than others; Zooey Deschanel and Julia Roberts both looked matronly, unlike the amazing Emma Thompson, who looked stunning in gold and black.

Most confusing was Emma Watson's apron dress and trousers ensemble, with an unflatteringly high neckline and an orange that overpowers the actress (in my opinion).

What do you think of Emma's ensemble - hit or miss?

Leave me your thoughts in the comments.
