Top Ten Looks from the 80th Golden Globe Awards in 2023


"I really hate the duties of being a celebrity, like getting dressed up for the red carpet."

I haven't done one of these posts in nearly four years. So I thought I'd throw it out there. Why not? There were several dresses with elements that I really liked, but just didn't like the overall look. That said, here are a few of the ones I thought worked well. Aaaaand, I think my top ten list has eleven choices. Oh well. Who's counting?


Jennifer Hudson chose a gold mirrored look, which normally I wouldn't think I would like. But I think it works. I like the shoulders and neckline.

Angela Bassett chose a sleek and simple look.

Billy Porter does it again. Fierce and brave choice. Love the pop of color.

Sheryl Lee Ralph with that sparkly mirror look. I guess I'm liking this style today. And the color is great.

Jean Smart chose a class with a twist. An elegant look on her.

Monica Barbaro chose a look that works for her well. Her coloring and choice of lipstick make this a lovely choice.

Li Jun Li in a sparkly elegant ivory gown. Very elegant. I love the extra sparkles at the bottom.

Jamie Lee Curtis selected what I imagine was a very comfortable jumpsuit and dressed it up with a lovely black lace cape.

Salma Hayek Pinault chose a dress that is reminiscent of Kate Winslet in the movie Titanic. I don't love the black straps, but other than that it think it's nice.

And lastly, Sharon R. Friedrick chose a simple, elegant gown that I'm sure she could easily wear again and again. Maybe not as fancy shmancy as some of the other red carpet looks, but I quite like it.
