Let’s finish this shit, dear readers.
Best Dressed: JULIANNE MOORE

Utter magnificence.
Runner-Up: AMAL CLOONEY
gown and purse by Christian Dior, earrings by Harry Winston

Respect to Amal for dressing like she was going to the opera, as if the entire concept of actors congratulating each other on their achievements is just theater to her. It’s not revolutionary, but it had that impossible-to-achieve combination of “LOOK AT ME!” and “I’m too educated to give a fuck about any of this.”
Honorable Mention: REESE WITHERSPOON
gown by Calvin Klein

Simple? Yes. But the embellishments on the bodice are exquisite, and she looks like a trophy herself. This is how you do minimalism to maximum effect.
EDDIE REDMAYNE

Delicious. I want that velvet tuxedo jacket in my life.
HELEN MIRREN
gown by Dolce & Gabbana, earrings by Chopard

Glam as fuck.
DIANE KRUGER and JOSHUA JACKSON
Diane’s gown by Emilia Wickstead, purse by Emm Kuo

Diane looks lovely in that “I’m a big deal, but this night is not actually about me, so I’ll just be over here looking casually flawless” kind of way. Pacey, of course, remains the world’s most desirable accessory.
JARED LETO
tuxedo by Lanvin, shoes by Christian Louboutin

The shirt and bow tie are a little too white and shiny, and this could fit him a hell of a lot better, but I don’t hate it. It’s hard to hate Jared Leto in a tux.
KATHERINE HEIGL
gown by Zac Posen

This is the best Katherine Heigl has looked since the last time anyone gave a shit about Katherine Heigl.
QUVENZHANÉ WALLIS
gown by Giorgio Armani

Adorable.
JULIANNA MARGULIES
dress by Ulyana Sergeenko, jewelry by Bulgari

This dress could have worked if the styling had been more formal and glamorous, but this was a big bag of nope for me. I love the necklace, but nothing else about this is quite dressy enough. And what is even happening with that hair? Did she forget her hair stylist’s birthday or something?
ELLIE KEMPER
gown by Naeem Khan

Fire your makeup artist and hire a tailor.
ZOSIA MAMET
gown by Andrew Gn

She looks like an incredibly unappetizing dessert.
MICHELLE MONAGHAN
gown by Jason Wu

Coma-inducing.
ANNA FARIS and CHRIS PRATT
Anna’s gown by Reem Acra, shoes by Jimmy Choo

Anna needs to start carrying some weight in this relationship. Any fashion points this couple is earning are solely due to Chris Pratt.
JENNIFER LOPEZ
gown by Zuhair Murad, purse by Jimmy Choo, shoes by Stuart Weitzman

I’m exhausted just looking at this. To be honest, I like the cape, but there’s only so many times I can see J.Lo do this shtick before I lose my fucking mind. And did every single element – including her fingernails – have to be the same shade of bedazzled bling? I may go blind if I look at this much longer.
CLAIRE DANES
gown by Valentino

I get it. If I were Claire’s breasts, I would want to run as far away from those earrings as possible too.
RUTH WILSON
gown by Prada

Ruth Wilson always looks like the person next to her just farted.
KERRY WASHINGTON
gown by Mary Katrantzou

Thanks for trying something different, Kerry, but this risk did not pay off. This fabric isn’t just heavy, it’s tortured, and you look like you’re wearing the world’s tackiest couch.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY and CAMILA ALVES
Matthew’s tuxedo by Dolce & Gabbana
Camila’s gown by Monique Lhuillier

I always look forward to what these two will bring to the red carpet, so imagine my disappointment when I saw… whatever the hell is happening here. He looks like a smarmy nightclub owner with a vicious coke habit, and she’s just wearing a very stiff towel.
Worst Dressed: KRISTEN WIIG
gown by Delphine Manivet
Photo: Alberto Rodriguez/Getty
I swear, when she and Bill Hader came onstage to do their bit, I thought Kristen was wearing this dress as a joke. But apparently, no, her stylist is just operating under the mistaken belief that old lady nighties are appropriate for the red carpet.
Get the rest of your Globes fix – don’t miss Part 1 and Part 2 of my fashion coverage. And stay tuned for my extra-judgmental recap of the Golden Globes after-party fashion!

The Democracy Diva 
no Matt Bomer?
You caught me. I cut him from the post because there were too many people to include! I thought he looked spectacular (if a little heavily made-up). Your thoughts?
It’s Matt Bomer! He is too good to be real (though he is even better in movement)
LOL. Now that I know you’re a fan, I’ll be sure to include him in the post for the next big event he shows up to!
I am actually mostly a fan of his acting, but he is also very swoonworthy. And always very stylish dressed.
It’s like he is constantly channelling neal caffrey.
I suspect you were blinded by Pacey as Diane seems to have had an off night. Her dress makes her legs look short to me and like there’s some weird bulge in her armpit.
Blinded By Pacey is definitely the name of my 90s throwback cover band. And I agree, this wasn’t her best night, but the leg-shortening didn’t bother me. (The armpit was definitely weird, though.)
