Hollywood’s hottest stars arrived at the Golden Globes ready to rock the red carpet and outshine one another at the Foreign Press’ big event. The competition for best dressed was more stiff than ever, as movie and TV stars alike blew us away with their stunning styles.

Glamour was definitely in high gear, but for many of our favorite fashionistas, understated was the way to go. Nude and pale pink colored dresses were a popular pick and favored by stars of all ages including Vanessa Hudgens, Elizabeth Banks, Penelope Cruz, and Demi Moore. While Demi looked lovely in a Dior silk chiffon style, Penelope was the heart stopper in strapless Armani Prive with Swarovski crystal detail.

Also opting away from bright colors were those bridal wannabees in different variations of white like Salma Hayek, Kate Beckinsale, Sandra Bullock, Miley Cyrus and Eva Mendes. While there were few flaws in this snow-white group, Miley once again looked way too mature in Marchesa. She should have switched with mom who wore something short and sparkly and more appropriate for Miley. On the other hand, Eva won our award for white in a Dior silk taffeta gown and gorgeous turquoise and diamond necklace from Van Cleef and Arpels. Beautiful!
