Nicole Kidman wore Balenciaga & big hair to the Globes: campy & fun?

Nicole Kidman is so camp. Nicole was Golden Globe-nominated for Babygirl, so she turned up to the Globes in a sexy Balenciaga halter gown and Brigette Bardot hair. The hairpiece was so funny. It feels like Nicole is genuinely having a good time with this awards-season run, and that’s reflected in her style choices too.

Kerry Washington also wore Balenciaga. I know Kerry and her fashion choices are very popular, but I was not a fan of this look. The Barbie-core vibe feels dated, like she’s doing this a year too late. The actual dress – standing apart from the black hose and gloves – is not great, the taffeta looks stiff. Overall, far from her best look.

Ali Wong also wore Balenciaga – we’ve seen this dress before on red carpets in different colors. I don’t mind the red, but the black gloves kind of downgrade the look, in my opinion.

Michelle Yeoh in Balenciaga – lord, I hate this!! The high neck, the mournful vibe, and those terrible bangs. Someone needs to stop the hair stylist going through a bangs-rampage in Hollywood.

    It’s very early and I’m not finished my coffee … but I like Michelle’s bangs. 😉 I don’t like any of these dresses. Nicole’s styling is great, though.

    I love Nicole’s dress. It fits her beautifully and flatters the body.

  3. DeeSea says:

    Normally I’m fully on board with the bangs-hate, but I think Michelle Yeoh looks amazing from head to toe. I love the bangs (on her), the dress, the whole look. Nicole looks fab too. The look of “black opera gloves contrasted with bright-colored dresses” does not work for me, but at least it’s not boring–and I’m grateful for that!

    • Yup, Me says:

      I love Michelle’s dress as well. I wish her bangs had been a little more messy and less blunt looking but I still like them.

      And I like Kerry’s look as well. It doesn’t read Barbie to me so much as “Auntie Mame had a passionate rendezvous, tussling in the sheets with her lover all afternoon and remembered at the last minute that she had an event to attend but had forgotten her gown so she got up and did her makeup but just pulled her hair back and threw the bright ass sheet around her and swanned out the door.”

      Ali looks like she got tangled in a streamer party favor and decided to go with it.

    I love Nicole’s dress and hair. She looks fantastic.

    Kerry Washington….why why why. That’s one of the worst looks I think I’ve seen on her.

    I can’t get behind the gloves for almost any outfit. Nicole looks great.

    I always said whoever dressed Olivia Pope on Scandal should dress Kerry Washington. The costume designer for Scandal put KW in some of the most drop-dead gorgeous outfits, but on the red carpet she is a nuclear disaster. I have never seen a beautiful woman like her with such godawful fashion sense,. Every red carpet she looks like she waited till the last minute to dress in the pitch dark. That — number — she was wearing at the GGs didn’t even look like a dress, it looked like she wrapped herself in a sheet she had dyed in pink Pepto Bismol. Hie thee to a stylist, STAT!

    • Jess says:

      Agree with you! Kerry looked amazing on Scandal but I’ve never been impressed by her red carpet looks. And this looks like a bad interpretation of an 80s prom outfit. Nicole’s dress, on the other hand, is pure perfection on her.

    Nicole’s look is perfect for the movie and the GG — she appears even thinner than usual so it appears we truly ARE back to that.

    Taffeta is by its very nature stiff — the gloves are tragic and black stockings outside of the dungeon will always be dated.

    M. Yeoh always blows me away — she could wear a hefty bag and her presence would make it work (I also don’t hate bangs).

  8. SarahLee says:

    Kerry Washington was on my worst dressed list for the night. Wrinkled taffeta. Black stockings? Just awful from head to toe.

    Michelle Yeoh is a goddess, with or without bangs.

  9. QuiteContrary says:

    I loved Michelle Yeoh’s look, but she’d look amazing in a paper bag.

    I also loved Nicole Kidman’s hair but the color of her gown was meh.

  10. Normades says:

    Michelle always looks so sophisticated and put together…even with the bangs.

    The long black gloves though are awful and I thought we were done with those.

  11. Stacey says:

    Not a Nicole Kidman fan at all. Like will not watch something if she’s in it not a fan. I zoomed in on her face and I am telling you she looks more like Sharon Stone 10 years ago than Sharon stone does!
    And she’s too waif thin. I know she is tall and always pretty thin but this is a lot.

  12. Lucy2 says:

    Don’t really care for any of these looks.
