2012 Golden Globes Worst Dressed List

It’s easy to name the worst dressed celebs at events like the MTV movie awards or the Teen Choice Awards, because let’s face it, those awards shows are when celebs stylists know they can take a vacation. However, at tonight’s Golden Globes Awards show I was hard-pressed to find the worst dressed celebs, but I tracked them down and listed them out for your viewing pleasure.

Sarah Michelle Gellar: The sky is falling and it landed on Sarah Michelle Gellar’s dress. As one of the first people to walk the red carpet this evening, I can’t help but wonder why she was actively trying to show this thing off? The dress, designed by Monique Lhullier, was a white gown with blue splatter pant that looked like a tie-dye experiment gone wrong.

Zooey Deschanel: According to Deschanel’s stylist, this dress was supposed to be god’s gift to dress-kind, but this custom Prada gown just wasn’t doing it for me. The lime green beading on the bodice was weird and the gown had no movement and looked like lycra. I know Zooey is supposed to be “adorkable” but c’mon, this is a red carpet, let’s get it together.

Salma Hayek: I didn’t love Salma Hayek’s Gucci gown. It was kind of Cher-ish? Like, Cher would have been all about this dress at an MTV awards show in 1989. The gown was pleated, it might have even been sequined? Also, it featured a very tiny bodice that should have been a size larger.

Reese Witherspoon: The dress wasn’t bad, per se, but it was a little bit “Jessica Rabbit.” Witherspoon’s hair was also au naturel and probably should have been more tailored for this red carpet affair.

Amy Poehler: Ohh, my funny ladies, I want you to dress good so badly, but sadly Parks and Recreation star Amy Poehler was a miss tonight. Wearing a dress that was nearly identical to the one she wore to the Emmy’s, she just changed up the color. In what I can only describe as a gold body suit gown, I can’t tell if Amy is ready to go body surfing or model for a sparkly nightgown collection.

Tilda Swinton: Usually Tilda Swinton wears a pant suit to her red carpet affairs, but this time she seemed torn between wearing a gown and wearing a suit so she paired a pale blue jacket with a fish tail gown and train. Uhhh, it’s like the mullet of dresses: business in the front, party in the back.
