Emma Stone and Claire Danes were two of the better-dressed stars at last night’s Golden Globes, and both opted for strikingly similar Calvin Klein gowns. That’s not the only comparison – both wore these sorbet-colors, both are now blonde after spending a lot of time as redheads and brunettes, and both are very slender, petite little things. Also, there’s some kind of comparison to be made about both of them seeming older than they really are – Emma Stone was one of the youngest nominees last night for Easy A at 22, and she seems wonderfully precocious and professional. That used to be Claire Danes, didn’t it?
Anyway, I preferred Emma Stone’s dress to Claire’s, but I liked both women a lot. I just think Emma’s got balls to not only wear such a figure-hugging gown in this off-beat color when most young women likely would have chosen basic black. I love the little cap-sleeves too – such a great choice for someone young. I’m so glad Emma didn’t go for some traditional strapless, tits-out gown. She looks so classy and pretty.
Emma also had a great moment when Robert Downey Jr. read out the names of the Best Comedic Actress nominees. RDJ riffed on how he only knew how talented the ladies were if they slept with him, and went on to name-check all the women in the category, saving Emma for last. Emma kept her poker face on as RDJ pretended to be engaged in a torrid affair with her. It was great!
Claire’s moment came when she won Best Actress for Temple Grandin, a terrific movie and one of Claire’s best roles ever. It was so exciting to see the real Temple there, and see Claire and Temple embrace. Lovely.

Loved Claire Dane’s dress. The cut and color were perfect.
Emma Stone also looks very nice, but I would have maybe picked a different shade. She looks a bit washed out with the blonde hair and peach color.
@Albeli – I agree about Emma looking washed out. She looks too cookie cutter as a blonde with that fake tan (as Kaiser pointed out when Emma first went blonde) and she looked strange to me on camera. That was a pretty dress though.
I agree…they looked amazing…very minimal but bright colors.
does anyone else think she looks like a blonde mila kunis? I thought she knocked it out of the park and I didn’t really even know who she was.
Question- has Emma always been thin like that, I feel like I have seen her with at least a LITTLE meat on her sometime before?
She blends in now- whereas she us to stand out!
22? What? No!
She looks better as a red head.
I have the feeling that I have seen Claire Danes’ dress before on someone else a couple of years ago
Emma Stone resembles Jamie Pressley. Yikes!
Emma looks better as a red head
@neelyo – ITA! I thought exactly the same thing. Definite resemblance to Jaime Pressely. It’s the blonde hair. She needs to go back to being a red-head.
Emma Stone needs to go back to being a redhead, that blonde makes her look much older. Claire Danes looked very beautiful.
They look absolutely sickly thin. Just gross! EAT A MEAL ALREADY
I am a Calvin Klein fan, because of the clean lines, and both these dresses are lovely and look really good on these actresses.
neeylo you’re absolutely right!!
Blonde is not her color.I liked her dress but not on her.Why do blondes insist on wearing white,pal,neutral colors that wash them out?What are their stylists doing?
As for Claire Danes I didn’t like the dress.I prefer her in shiny metalic dresses.
I think Emma’s looks better in pictures, but looked horrible during the show (the lighting was just not flattering to the colour). And Claire’s looked better on the show, then in pictures.
#8 sisi: Claire said is was made just for her for this event — it’s totally custom made, one-of-a-kind creation.
Is this Emma Stone the same girl that was in “House Bunny”?
She lost a lot of weight!
Both Claire and Emma looked stunning, and they are both class acts. Emma’s dress was my favorite. Will people never learn that less is so often “more.”
Love Emma Stone! Although, I hope she goes back to the red hair after her role in the new Spiderman movie.
I love that Emma isn’t some attention ho. Her dress is understated and her demeanor professional.
That said I hate the blonde on her.
We need to quit with this Emma looks better as a red head nonsense. First of all, no shit. Second of all, she dyed it for Spiderman. If she doesn’t change it back after filming, THEN we can bitch about her looking better as a redhead. Cause she does, but she’s a pretty girl either way.
The two Calvin Klein dresses were at the top of my most favorite! Simple, stunning and sexy….
There is a lady with her back to Emma in 1st pic. She looks like her left shoulder blade was removed and put back in wrong. Is it me, or perhaps lighting? Does anyone else see this?
EMMA STONE looks absolutely gorgeous
im going to do the same thing this summer…lose 30lbs and die my hair blonde!
she’s the next big star u watch
My favorites!
I prefer Emma Stone as a redhead; I think the blonde washes her out. But that dress is straight up prefect. I loved that Claire Danes totally pulled an Angela Chase for her acceptance speech.
I think they both looked just gorgeous. Love Claire’s dress!
Claire Danes – AMAZING – she has my vote for best overall dress/styling for the night. Plus she had an amazing accessory on her arm – Hugh Dancy… I mean it ALL worked.
Loved Emma Stone too. He dress was lovely.
I guess I didn’t read far enough. Here are the pastels, looking more like April than January. They also look sportier and less formal. I like the others better, although that peach shade is one of my favorite colors.
Claire Danes knows how to dress for her body type and coloring. She looks great.
Claire Danes can do no wrong – she looked perfect.
i love claire danes but i hate emma stone’s new look.
people, people. Emma is a natural blonde! lol, I feel bad for her but she does look better as a redhead. She does look washed out here though.
I don’t like the colour of Emma’s dress on her – it seems to both wash her out and accentuate her orange skin at the same time.
Claire Danes looked stunning and her win was a highlight of the show.
Claire could sure use some dynasty shoulder pads…her shoulders just go straight down from her neck. Weird.
Holy crap these girls are slender.
Yet both girls look incredible. I really like both dresses. Even in the pastel shades, these dresses look great.
I really think Emma’s hair could be a slightly darker shade of blonde and it would warm up her face. But the the color is really well done. Just a little jarring since she makes a gorgeous redhead.
I think they both looked lovely, very pretty women.
But I am hoping that Emma goes back to red hair after Spiderman is done, she reminds me too much of Kate Bosworth with her hair that colour. I never noticed their similarity before. 🙁
Love Emma. Hope she goes back to red soon.
I agree about the best dresses, love the colors!
Emma looks better as a red and she’s too thin now
Claire looks very good and young, love the dress how it’s not tight but it fits her frame nicely
Emma has such a strong resemblance to Lohan, that it ills me.
Emma looks really beautiful, not too thin at all, and that colour is amazing on her.
Claire Danes was had the best look of the night – absolutely stunning. Perfect dress, perfect coloring, perfect speech! Just perfect!
