Dr. Dapper details the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly at the Golden Globes, and tries to notice even the conspicuously inconspicuous...

Fashion is all around this city now! With stars like Kate Perry and Selena Gomez making videos, and Angelina and Brad raising their hundred and one kids, you better look like a star! Its 2011, new trends are coming, so you’d better pick up quickly with the latest in clothing and accessories. Forget about Valentine’s day, spend the money for your loved ones on fashion. In the end, they will appreciate it more to be with a hot and fashionable person than with one that loves them, right?

I don't know how many of you “fashionistas” watched the Golden Globes gala, but the awards season is here and nothing is more satisfying than to criticize and how a bunch of egocentric people walk the so-called red carpet full of themselves. The good thing is that we mere mortals get to see them. Since we are the ones who watch their idiotic movies and buy their cheap perfumes, we get to talk smack about them and their outfits. So here we go, this is my review of the Golden Globes.

First of all, there was not a defining color this season, although we could see a lot of green, red and nude (for the unknowing, “nude” just means skin colors).

The Good: Starting with the best (because the winners always come first), we have Angelina Jolie. She looked stunning in a green Versace dress that had a vintage cut. People please don't try this look at home, as it is something that only Angie can pull off… you would look like crap. Natalie Portman showed her pregnant figure in an awesome draping pink dress that was complemented with a red flower creation by Viktor & Rolf.

Next was January Jones (pictured), the star from Mad Men, who wore a very sexy and bitchy red dress from Versace’s 2011 Spring-Summer collection. It’s totally in, girls should check into this look. Finally, the very best of the night was Anne Hathaway, who pulled off a shoulder-pad palliate dress in a nude color from the Armani Prive collection. From what I could see, the vintage look of the 80’s is back (paired with the Greek goddess style and 40s hair).

The Bad: Last year’s big winner Sandra Bullock looked sloppy in a nude dress with a “Hindu sari” shape that made her look like a walking bag with a lot of fabric. Totally disappointing! Girls, please don't try the hideous bangs that she attempted, it is totally out for this season. Megan Fox was another of the mistakes of the night in a pale pink Armani dress that made her look like a cheap princess… and what happened to her face? It seems she’d been hanging out a lot with her best friends… a botox club. I’ll end this segment by pointing out the safe look of Scarlett Johansson. Wearing an Elie Saab nude dress neither won or lost, illustrating once again that taking a risk and looking bad is better than not taking one at all.

The Ugly: Lea Michele star from Glee showed us that she is not only a loser on the show, but also when it comes to style. Her pink Oscar de la Renta dress was too heavy, and the big draping on the sides just made her look like a piñata almost ready to burst. Michelle Williams was the other big mismatch of the night, wearing a daisy-bedecked dress by Valentino. It was a complete mess. She looked like a bad hippie gone fancy. Finally Helena Bonham Carter showed us her eccentric taste once again with a dress that, as usual, was taken from the horror trunk, but we love her for taking risk and showing us her irreverence.

This is it my fellow fashion followers, I didn't bother to write anything about the guys, since all of them look like a bunch of waiters in their impeccable suits. Remember.. as in the movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly only the good is worth keeping, so go with that and stay fabulous!
