Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Recap

Tonight marks the official start of the 2009 awards season with the 66th Annual Golden Globes Awards. Starlets made their way through the chaotic red carpet with lots of sass and loads of confidence. Form-fitting, fierce gowns, pretty, pale pastels and timeless tiers ruled the G.G.'s carpet. Style Spotter spotted the best of the best.

Form Fitting, Fierce Gowns

Now when it comes to wearing a sex pot gown, Beyonce, Jennifer and Eva know that it must be tight, but not too tight, it must have a long, sleek silhouette and most importantly it must make all men want to come hither. Meow!

Jennifer Lopez - Marchesa (Is it me or is this look very similar to that infamous grammy dress?)

Beyonce - strapless Elie Saab

Eva Longoria - vibrant, red Reem Acra gown

Pretty, Pale Pastels

The carpet was a sea of soft, pale pastel gowns and actresses in-the-know, know that soft, pastel colors are a big 2009 spring trend. While the color of the dresses were quiet, structure and design were bold.

Cameron Diaz - pretty in pink in Chanel

Penelope Cruz - Armani Prive strapless gown with silver horizontal detailing

Salma Hayek - Dior

Drew Barrymore - Dior

Timeless Tiers

Tiers are timeless and pretty when they are tamed. The red carpet overflowed with tiers that were lady-like, sweet and daring.

Debra Messing - Zac Posen

Demi Moore - pale pink Dior gown

?????

There will always be those dresses, which one can never understand. And here are a few of those very dresses.

Oh, Heidi Klum! Of all the dresses that you see and have access to, why, oh why did you pick this dress!? Is this a 'Project Runway' design?

Renee Zellweger in Carolina Herrera took a very bad and daring approach in this goth, Gwyneth Paltrow-esque dress.

Does Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive look more like a beauty queen contestant or a contestant on 'Dancing WIth The Stars?' I'm not really sure.
