The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards of 2012 paraded around many artists on the red carpet. Not only were the awards for outstanding achievements, but the fashion was amazing. However, the portraits spoken by the ones dawning the designs were enough to make Gianni Versace turn over in his grave.

After the ever so charming Ryan Seacrest posed the question of the night, who are you wearing?  He asked those "A" listers to describe their style for the night...and that they did not. The gifts of Hollywood might be able to entrance us on the silver screen, but wow did they need to be coached by their designers. It was bad enough that Kelly Osborn could not even remember who her mother was wearing, let alone how to pronounce the designer she was wearing. With that aside, the evening really was enchanting, including how delightful Ms. Kelly Osborn looked in her sleek full length blue Hollywood style dress.

The definition of artist, as defined by Wikipedia, is quite vague in such a way that anyone could be considered an artist. (1. A person who creates art, 2. A person who creates art as an occupation, or 3. A person who is skilled at some activity) We all know that there is an art to fashion and acting, something to be described with the word vogue verses vague. The fashion on the red carpet was vogue and very descriptive, despite the blundered descriptions by those so skilled in enchanting us on the screen.

Each and every design I saw was truly crafted with skill and artistry. One of the biggest trends of the evening was the neutral blush tone fabrics. Giuliana Rancic, the E entertainer, walked away with the iconic dress for the season.  It encompassed so many trends: the neutral blush tone fabric, high neck, beautiful draping details, texture and depth along with the gold bling that I couldn't tell if it was a belt or just part of the metallic trend added for bling. Charlize Theron donned a beautiful goddess look with her silver headband and her lovely draped dress with plunging neckline

Shades of red were on more than just the red carpet. Angelina Jolie was the epitome of Hollywood glam as she wore a white dress with red flare accented by her red velvet lips and clutch. Bellissimo!

Mr. George Clooney walked away with Best Actor in a Drama (The Descendents) along with stunning Stacey Keibler, his partner, in her all over red classic dress with a cut-out back detail that made her exit worth the wait.
