GOLDEN GLOBES 2011: Favorite red carpet fashions

One reason why the public hopelessly enjoys entertainment industry award shows is not necessarily because of who’s nominated and who wins, but because of all the red carpet glitz and glamour. The 68th Annual Golden Globes was no exception and showcased the distinct styles of many of Tinseltown’s leading ladies (and men!), though one-shoulder gowns, sequins and diamonds, neutral colors, and shades of green appeared frequently.

Here are just a few of my personal favorite looks from the starlets of the night—let me know what yours are!

• Winter’s Bone actress Jennifer Lawrence proved to be a natural beauty in her film, but showed how much she could rock a red carpet in edgy yet elegant black printed Louis Vuitton.
• Amy Adams of The Fighter reverted back to the lovely and poised woman we all know and adore in a one-shouldered deep teal Marchesa number featuring laser cut rosettes.
• Black Swan‘s Mila Kunis was one of the evening’s trendsetters in her custom-made emerald green Vera Wang dress.
