(CBS/AP) Hollywood turned it spotlight on the Golden Globes Sunday
night, where all of the nominees came dressed to dazzle.
 A return to '30s- and '40s-style glamor was the theme for the evening. Actress
Nicole Kidman epitomized the look in a bare, gold-sequined, backless gown.
Sparkles and spangles seemed to adorn everything from dresses to purses.
Earrings were long and jewelry was chunky.
David Evangelista was on the red carpet along with one of his co-hosts on
"The Style Network," Finola Hughes. The next morning on Monday’s The
Early Show, they dished on who looked fabulous, who sparkled from head
to toe and who needed more work.
The best dressed for Evangelista was Uma Thruman in her purple gown and
Charlize Theron, as a classic '40s beauty in a pastel dress.
“She looked like a little buttercup,” Hughes says about Theron. Another of
her favorite looks was worn by Sarah Jessica Parker. Hughes says, “I thought
this dress was beautifully made. When she got on stage, it really sparkled and
she had these really spiky, spiky shoes.”
Another favorite of the night was Nicole Kidmanin a a dress designed by Tom
Ford in his last collection for Yves Saint Laurent.
Evangelista says Kidman looked like the classic Vegas showgirl and jokingly
proposed giving her the Show Girl Award. Hughes thought Kidman looked
uncomfortable wearing a gold-sequined bodice, with a neckline that plunged to
her waist, held together with nude fabric and paired with a flowing, pale
chiffon skirt. Her loose curls were held back with a sparkly, gold headband.
As for the worst dressed, Evangelista gave the trophy to Debra Messing. “She
looked like Count Choc-ula,” he says.
Hughes in her defense notes, “Debra Messing is quite pregnant and when
you're pregnant, you tend to try to dress in a dramatic way to take away from
your bump.”
Others who got dressed without a mirror, Evangelista says, were “Barbara
Straisand looked awful in all white. Scarlett Johanson wore cream and just
blended into herself. Diane Keaton looked like she was a member of the clergy.
Sharon Stone totally dressed down, all wrong."
Hughes adds, “Diane Keaton, it's like she makes day-wear choices to attend
evening events. It's interesting but I don't understand it. Scarlett looked
like her hair was waiting for a wig."
Both stylists pronounced Jennifer Aniston's Valentino safe and boring.
Evangelista says, “She plays it safe with the dark colors. “ Hughes adds,
“I sort of feel like I have seen her in this dress before.”
For best improved, Portia de Rossi from Ally McBeal was Hughes’ pick. “She
was the most improved because we’ve seen her on the red carpet before and
she's had a lot of misses. This year, she was a big hit. This is retro, the
retro ‘30s.” She also liked her makeup. “Sometimes she does overdo.”
Evangelista agrees adding, “Her hair was dead on. She knew how to work her
mink. She looked gorgeous and glamorous."
The most disheveled look went without a doubt to Kevin Costner, Evangelista
says, “He looked like he just got out of bed. He just woke up."
Hughes notes, “There's disheveled sexy, which is kind of great, and just
disheveled. Kevin Costner was not disheveled sexy."
The men usually get overlooked but Hughes notes, “William Peterson did the
whole monochromatic thing and did it well. And I thought Bernie Mac looked
smart. He seemed to really take care in his appearance."
Evangelista says, “Tom Cruise looked very handsome. William H. Macy, classy
and elegant in his tux. He even had on a pair of '40s-style sunglasses. And
Johnny Depp looked great with his hat. He's a man with his own style."
As for this year’s trends, the style experts note it was a return to
elegance.
Evangelista says, “Lots of satin and sparkle. There was also lots of color.
Ellen Burstyn in orange. She looked like an orange. J-Lo in coral, Diane Lane
in a coral print."
Hughes adds, "I loved Ellen in orange. I loved Diane Lane's dress with
the ruffles. Jennifer Lopez's dress had a great cut.”
