What the Tall Girls Wore- Golden Globes 2011

The 2011 Golden Globe Awards
January 16, 2011
Beverly Hills, CA
The Hilton Beverly Hills
Sequins, gem tones and classic lines were carried off gracefully by the tall statured women who walked the red carpet at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards on January 16 in Beverly Hills, CA. Here is an overview of the tall female celebrities (standing 5'8 or higher) who were present that night and what they wore:

Angelina Jolie in Versace The conservative cut of this emerald gown allowed Jolie to remain understated while stealing the show. Liquidy sequins give the look a slitthery shine and recall Dynasty-era glamour.


Annette Benning in Marc Jacobs




Benning played off her sophisticated gown with a funky do and sassy glasses. While some may have prefered to see her choose something that draws more attention to her elegant good looks, I find this styling to be smart and savy.




Catherine Zeta Jones in Monique LhuillierZeta Jones won the evening, in my opinion, by embracing classic glamour and selecting a dramatic hue amazingly off set by her striking dark hair.





Milla Jovovich in Giorgio Armani Prive

I am not a fan of the putty color or the gathering in which this fabric is used. The styling is a bit old for Jovovich and brings to mind bridal ware.

I would rather have seen Jovovich in something like this from Carolina Hererra's Spring 2011 collection...




Jane Lynch in Ali Rahimi

Lynch is a stunner in black, however the cut of the dress could have been better for her. I do applaud her for making a glamorous statement with this selection.

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier

The glamorous cut, color and fabric of this gown gives it a Rita Hayworth quality. Her brunette locks look rather unpolished for this number though. A slightly smoother look could have added an additional a pop to her overall style.





Nicole Kidman in Prada

A constant favorite of mine, who never looks anything less than phenomenal. In any case, I found this prim look rather safe and unexciting for Kidman. With such an exquisite complexion, I love it when she chooses to play it up with more unusual hues.
