Banana Favorites: Golden Globes 2015

It’s always refreshing to start the year with an amazing red carpet. However, these Golden Globes did not meet our expectations. There were definitely more DON’Ts than DOs (Lana Del Rey, Taryn Manning, Keira Knightley… what were you thinking?) but we loved some of the DOs. Our favorites were:

Emma Stone in Lanvin. WOW. This beautiful redhead not only knows how to rock metallics but also a jumpsuit on the red carpet. She didn’t even needed accessories or any hairdo. Emma looked flawless last night.

Even tough it looks big on her, we liked the color and fabric of this J. Mendel dress in Amanda Peet.

We have to admit we weren’t expecting Lorde to be on this list. Another win for pants last night. She rocked this Narciso Rodriguez pantsuit.

Dakota Johnson makes all over metallics look easy to wear in this Chanel dress. Definitely one of the favorites.

It’s not that we LOVE this Armani Privé gown but Allison Williams is so gorgeous that she can pull off almost anything. She looks amazing as always.

Emily Blunt in Michael Kors looks so fresh and pretty. We liked the turquoise jewelry as well as her braid.

We can always count on Lupita Nyong’o to push boundaries in a red carpet. There are mixed reviews of this Giambattista Valli Couture floral gown but to us, it’s a win. She looks radiant and the color looks great on her.

We love metallics and we love feathers. Julianne Moore in Givenchy gives us another reason to.

And of course, we can always count on one of our favorite IT Girls Sienna Miller to amaze us in the red carpet as well. She looks lovely in this Miu Miu gown.

We hope the upcoming red carpets step it up. With so many beautiful gowns we saw in the runway for this season, we hope they do!

 

Banana’s Picks: Golden Globes 2014

Finally! Awards season is here! We missed the great fashion moments, the disasters and of course, Joan Rivers on Fashion Police.

These were our favorite looks at the Golden Globes this past Sunday:

Emilia Clarke looks effortless but so beautiful in Proenza Schouler. I liked that she didn’t overdo the look and kept it simple with the hair and accessories.

Always on my best dressed list, Zoey Saldana in Prabal Gurung looks fun but still very glamourous. This fashionista sure knows how to stand out.

Kate Beckinsale in Zuhair Murad. Her body in this dress is perfection!

The australian hottie (if you haven’t seen Wolf of Wall Street you’re missing out) Margot Robbie looked spectacular in this custom Gucci gown. I specially loved the emerald shoes!

Usually I dislike Sofia Vergara‘s dresses since they always  have a Miss Universe vibe so this is a first! She chose a strapless simple black ball gown by Zac Posen and looked like a total bombshell.

Oh, Cate. Cate Blanchet is definitely one of my fashion icons. Remember the pastel Givenchy dress at the Oscars 2011? I admire her so much for having fun with fashion. This time was no different in this lace Armani Privé.

Now THIS is how you dress for a red carpet while you’re expecting. Olivia Wilde looked gorgeous in Gucci Premiere.

The ladies in red were my favorite! 

After this red carpet everyone is talking about Lupita Nyong’o. First red carpet? No problem. She NAILED IT. This Ralph Lauren caped gown was a risk that paid off.

Another lady in red who took a risk, Emma Watson in Dior Couture. I just love Emma. Along with Lupita Nyong’o they were my best dressed.

And the rotten banana goes to….

Barney? I’m sorry Aubrey Plaza, I love you but…. no. I hated this Oscar de La Renta dress! The color is hideous and the fabric is even worse.

Hayden Panettiere is such a pretty girl but is almost always in my worst dressed list! I don’t like this Tom Ford gown and I like it even less in her. It even makes her look chubby! Also the hair as totally wrong. This whole look aged her 10 years. Hayden please call accept the Bananas as your stylists! We’ll accept gladly!

These were our favorite looks from the Sunday night Emmys:

ROSE BYRNE in Calvin Klein Collection: so chic!

LINDA CARDELLINI showed her sexy back in a Donna Karan Atelier dress.

Sally Draper is a little fashionista! The 13 year old cutie KIERNAN SHIPKA looked fresh and lovely in a floral Delpozo gown.

KRISTEN CONNOLLY was perfection in a long sleeved Nicholas Oakwell dress. (She was Arni’s favorite)

ALLISON WILLIAMS went simple with this Ralph Lauren gown. When you’re that beautiful, you don’t need to overdo it. Loved this look!

KATE MARA in J Mendel made a true fashion statement. The hair & makeup were perfect for this look.
