Thandie Newton in white Monse at the Golden Globes: overlooked?

Do you know how Thandie Newton wore a really ill-fitting polka dot Monse dress to the BAFTAs? (If you missed it, go here to see.) Monse came through for her at the Globes. Look at this white off the shoulder sheath dress with diagonal burnt orange sequins creeping up the hem like she is on FIRE. This is such a simple concept executed well and I love it. I’m sad Thandie didn’t win for supporting role in a limited series, for her sublime work in Westworld, that went to Olivia Colman for The Night Manager. (I’m surprised TNM won in so many categories, but I only watched the first episode, it just wasn’t my type of show.) Slay all day, Thandie. That backwards necklace!

Kristen Wiig wore a white lace Reem Acra gown. This is yet another one of those see-through gowns with the bathing suit area strategically covered, yet the lace is not what we typically see on these dresses, it’s larger. I like this and adore her styling. She had a cute bit with Steve Carrell which Kaiser covered earlier in the Globes recap. Steve and Kristen were funny, they have perfect timing together, but I didn’t think the part about how they had the same haircut was necessary. There were a lot of dumb jokes last night and I found some of the writing in poor taste.

Kathryn Hahn was one of three women I saw in pantsuits, the others being Evan Rachel Wood and Octavia Spencer. I like this trend and hope it continues. Her suit is Brandon Maxwell and I don’t even dislike the jacket open to reveal her bra. You can only see a bit of it anyway.

Here’s Rachel Bloom who lost in the best actress in a comedy category to Tracee Ellis Ross. (She won the Globe in this category two years ago for Crazy Ex Girlfriend and she also has a couple of Emmys for her wodk on Robot Chicken.) She was in Christian Siriano, who also dressed Issa Rae and Angela Bassett last night. Siriano’s designs are hit or miss but you can tell he tries to make his clients feel beautiful on the red carpet. Bloom’s gown wasn’t amazing, it made her look very top heavy and the sequins seemed like an afterthought. She looked like she was having a good time though.
