Golden Globes 2011 Fashion Preview

Award season 2011 is officially in full swing! With the Golden Globes this Sunday, our favorite celebrities will surely be dressed to impress. If they take their cues from the Spring/Summer 2011 fashion runways, Hollywood’s leading ladies will be parading down the red carpet in bold colors, flowing goddess gowns and dresses with retro flair. Will Natalie Portman show off her baby bump? Will Angelina Jolie opt for color over basic black? With so many things uncertain, rest assured that you’ll definitely see the following trends on the Golden Globes red carpet!

Red Carpet Trend #1- Goddess Gowns

The goddess gown is the epitome of red carpet elegance. This Sunday, expect to see ethereal dresses, flowing with long romantic skirts and lots of beautiful ruching. Delicate draping from head to toe will add drama to these gorgeous gowns. Sexy deep V necklines and lovely asymmetrical pieces will also be popular. This magnificent gown would look exquisite on modern day goddess and best actress nominee, Halle Berry.

Red Carpet Trend #2– Fun Flair

Romantic details like rosettes and ruffles have been a classic red carpet accent for some time, but 2011 is taking things to a new, bohemian level. Boho chic fringe and feathers came down the fashion runways on everything from blouses to dresses. Part hippie, part flapper, these fun accents will definitely liven the mood at this Sunday’s Golden Globes. If best actress nominee, Natalie Portman’s, tiered ruffled dress at the People’s Choice Awards was a precursor to her 2011 red carpet style, fun and flirty flair will be the perfect complement to her baby bump!

Red Carpet Trend #3 – Winter White

There is nothing more sophisticated than a crisp white dress. Soft ivory, cream, and white styles came down the Spring runways, bringing a natural light to the room. For the red carpet, expect our favorite stars to shine in winter white goddess gowns with sexy necklines and princess like dresses with full skirts. Dainty details, ruching, and jeweled adornments will add something special to these delicate looks. Best actress nominee, Anne Hathaway, would look angelic in this white ensemble with dazzling embellishments.

Red Carpet Trend #4– Bold Color

Springtime always brings a fresh new batch of color to the fashion scene. For 2011, the bright, bold colors are reminiscent of world travel and luxurious gemstones. From aqua blue and coral, to emerald green, turquoise, and ruby red, these hot shades will surely command attention at the Golden Globes this Sunday! As stunning as best actress nominee, Angelina Jolie, looks in basic black, wouldn’t it be refreshing to see her in a pop of color? Whether she opts for a brilliant body conscious gown or to add a hint of color with sparkly jewels, a burst of bold color would be a great change of pace for the seductive star.

Spring 2011 Shoe Preview

The newest shoe trends for Spring 2011 will literally knock your socks off! After months of hibernating and piling on the layers, the hottest styles for Spring are both bold and carefree. Whatever your mood, one thing to look forward to is that all the Spring trends are reminiscent of 1970’s fashion. If you love this hippie and disco chic era of fashion, you’re going to love what’s in store!  Shed those winter boots ladies because it’s just about time to show some serious skin!

Cage Strap Wedges

The sexy confidence of bold cage straps combine with the comfort of a wedge heel to make the hottest shoe for Spring 2011! As much as fashionistas love their sky high heels and platforms, there’s nothing like a solid wedge that gives you the stability to stand tall for hours at a time. Drawing inspiration from the gladiator shoe booties of Fall 2010, cage straps wedges are the perfect way to transition your shoe style for the warmer months ahead. For Spring, cage strap wedges in leather and suede will be the new go to shoe – great with everything from a flirty dress to sophisticated suit.

Boho Neutrals

The boho inspired styles for Spring are cool and relaxed, reminiscent of the free spirits of the 1970’s! Strappy sandals, wedges, and espadrilles have always been Spring staples, but this year neutral color palettes are king – from subtle tans and soft metallics to warm camels and rich shades of brown. Natural fibers such as cork and jute, along with woven straps and accents add to the bohemian vibe. Wood based soles are also making a strong comeback, giving these hippy chic shoes a bold edge. Aside from being ever so versatile, these boho neutrals also have that lovely leg lengthening effect. Taking a cue from my favorite shoe trend of 2010, the nude pump, these sandals will make your limbs look amazing all the way through Summer!

Disco Color Block

The vibe for Spring 2011 has officially returned to the 1970’s with retro glam inspired color block heels, platforms and wedges! Causing a colorful stir on the fashion runways were models rockin’ disco chic platforms that’d be perfect for a night at Studio 54. The bold combinations of colors command attention and are an easy way to dress up even the most blasé outfit. For a casual look, spice up your jeans and tee with some two tone sandals for a fun pop of color. Or, go all out and dress the part of a dancing queen by pairing one of the season’s vintage inspired frocks with some daring color block platform pumps!
