Celebrities reveal much about their personal good or bad taste at award events!
Wednesday, January 20, 2010
I have always felt, that like real people (and I've worked with both) celebs have great taste, not so great--and really bad taste. Sometimes their stylists don't help (or even hinder)--but when they're wonderful, most agree that the outcome is a joy to behold. My favorites are Penelope Cruz, Chloe Sevigny, and Reese Witherspoon. Nicole Kidman takes chameleonic style changes--but looks great usually (and G-d knows she and her husband have to attend endless events!). I thought Jessica Lange was much improved this year with a lovely dress that covered areas that last year's didn't, and that Sophia Loren, as usual, tries too hard to live up to yesteryear. Meryl Streep has never lived up to her incredible acting talents-- nor even her beauty-- in the world of style (because I'm certain she doesn't truly care except for the event itself--and style is not about special events). At these Golden Globes, her black dress looked best from afar. She fared worse in terms of style, at The Critic's Choice awards--but hey--she won Best Actress! Neither the English or American Fergie did themselves proud. Maria Carey showed up at both with dresses that revealed so much "information" that she remains a posrer child for excess. Cher never aspired for "taste"--but attention is what keeps her feeling alive. Halle Berry erred on the right side of both.Tina Fey may know (by her expression) that she goofed? Cameron Diaz, who has such a great figure for clothes--somehow manages to never have the right dress or hairstyle. Patricia Arquette is on every worst dress list and her hubby Thomas Jane qualifies as well. Talent and taste are not necessarily gifted to the same person. Examples:The talented Kevin Bacon, tries to be so cool--he looks silly! While George Clooney, Simon Baker, Bill Paxton, Colin Firth,and Gerard Butler get it "right on". Quentin Tarantino and Mickey Rourke are in a "bad taste league" of their own. Here are some photos to prove (I hope!) my points.
Let me know your own thoughts?
