Can you feel it too? The electric energy from the Golden Globes is felt by billions around the globe as TV and movie stars unite for the first big awards show of the year.
Imagine the avalanche of butterflies the starlets must be feeling before they step foot onto the red carpet, before a sea of flashing cameras and the judging eyes of the “Fashion Police”. The pressure to get it “right” is astronomical – yet, the term “right” is interpreted in so many ways, all dependent on the critics’ point of view.
Sometimes the reports forget that these women, are people – with feelings, insecurities and vulnerabilities.
When they play a character in a film, the costume director dictates the clothes they need to wear to illustrate the character they’re playing; their innate role is to characterize “other people”. Yet, on the red carpet, they work with their stylists to create looks that are a reflection of who they are. As artists whose talents lie in “being someone else”, they are exposed.
These 12 red carpet standouts got it “right” because they “owned it” – they walked with confidence, they shone beyond their dress, hair and make-up and they made it clear that their place on the red carpet was not only to celebrate their talent, but their presence in the industry.
