Who cares about the silly old movies? I haven’t seen any of them anyway. Dresses, on the other hand…
The best set of photos I have seen so far is on Style.com, though the BBC does have some good close-ups.
Marion Cotillard’s Gaultier number certainly stood out. From a distance it is absolutely magnificent, but close up it looks a little cheesy.
Cameron Diaz managed to stand out by picking something interestingly different on a night when far too many people seemed to have read a “what’s in this year” manual before hand.
Cate Blanchett proved that it is possible to look gorgeous when you are pregnant.
Renée Zellweger was undoubtedly the queen of bling for the evening.
Helen Mirren continues to look fabulous, thereby giving hope to all of those who feel old by are younger than she is.
Julie Christie’s gloves were, sadly, the disaster of the night.
Kudos to Heidi Klum who announced that she’d be auctioning her gown for charity immediately after the show.
And my pick of the night? If you want to stand out, try picking something really simple and styling, like Katherine Heigl. (Of course it does help to have a great figure and fabulous hair, but it is still a great dress.)
I agree about the gloves, which killed an ensemble that was otherwise flattering & modest for Julie Christie. Rather liked Hilary Swank & Jennifer Gardner’s black frocks and yes, Cate Blanchett looked wonderfully blooming!
From a distance it is absolutely magnificent, but close up it looks a little cheesy.
A bit like Jean Paul Gaultier himself, then? {grin}
Cuddles:
Garner’s dress was way too fussy for my liking, though I’m sure other people’s mileage will vary. As for Swank, let’s just say that I’ll remember her next time I find myself displaying embarrassing underarm flab.

I do so miss Eurotrash.
