It Was All In The Details
January 19th, 2006 at 8:50 am by HeidiGoLightly » Bookmark on del.icio.us » Digg It?By now, you’ve heard everyone’s favorite picks for best and worst dressed at the Golden Globes 2006. But, for me it was all about the details. The unexpected accessories and elements of design that can make or break an outfit. Or, as I like to call them, the things that distract me so much I can’t focus on anything else. So, as I say goodbye to the Golden Globes for another year, I leave you with the things that puzzled me most:
The Back of Hilary Swank’s Dress
Sure, some called it sexy. She definitely seems to have a knack for picking the dress with the lowest back. However, this looked like it was made out of leftover black bra straps. It looked….I don’t know…dominatrix-y.
Knockoffs of this dress are sure to cause many amorous moments to come to a screeching halt. It must take forever to undo all of those clasps.
Those “Things” On Marcia Cross’s Shoulders
What were those? Some kind of military epaulets? Does she belong to some secret military society where all the members are forced to wear coral-colored Grecian gowns? I must know.
Heidi Klum-Seal’s Neck Brace
This was very strange. I can only suspect that she wore it either as a tribute to the Eiffel Tower or some strange injury made it necessary for her to have her dress designer come up with a stylish, yet functional neck brace. But, she looks so happy in this photo that I’m guessing she is injury free and just really loves the Eiffel tower.
An Odd Abundance of Material
I’m still not sure if it’s just poor posture, but in every picture I’ve seen, Maria Bello’s dress is just way, way too long. Did she not have time for fittings? Did her seamstress have a dyslexic moment and record her height as 6’5” instead of 5’6”? Did she decide to wear flats? So many questions. All that extra material on the bottom could’ve caused a major fall on the red carpet.
On the other hand, I was distracted by those weird flaps of extra material at the top of Sandra Oh’s dress. I just wanted to tuck them into the lines of silver beading that ran down along the bodice. As it was though, the flaps just reminded me of gills.
Mandy Moore’s Disappearing Necklace
When Mandy Moore presented during the actual awards ceremony, there was no sign of this necklace. I can only hope someone told her take it off. It looks like one of those rope dividers in swimming pools that separate the shallow end from the deep end.
Rachel, What Is That?
What is this? It just seems out of place. This strange, inexplicable triangle of fabric. It looks like the dress designer was inspired by the top of a celery stalk. I don’t get it.
Too, Too Much
She is so very, very pale. And her lips are so very, very red. It just kind of creeped me out a little bit.
What Is That On Her Neck?

I didn’t know Matthew Fox’s wife was that ugly…

Why is Miss Cinnamon so unkind? It’s one thing to pick on people’s fashion choices because they are just that: choices. But to say someone is ugly, or a chin is too pointy, or a mouth is too big…. that’s not right. That’s what they’re born with. I say “good for you!” to all the celebrities (and their spouses) out there who have chosen not to “fix” their chins or noses or lips, and kept their individuality in that plastic-loving, conformist town.

*shrugs*
I work in the fashion industry. You think I’m harsh, you try one day at my office…. I’m a freaking angel.

I say wonderful opinion about being and honoring the “real,” LadyT.
Hm. I work in the writing industry. And I suppose I like it that way.
