Look Like a Celeb Without Stealing a Designer Gown: 2013 Golden Globes Beauty

Got award season fever? Yeah, me too. I just can’t get enough of the amazing looks from the Golden Globes on Sunday. It’s not just the gowns that the celebs wore that I am obsessed with it’s their hair and makeup too. Let’s be real, the next time I’m going to be dressed in head to toe designer will probably be in my dreams but, I can rock the same shade of lipstick or chic ‘do this coming weekend if I feel so inclined. Lucky for us, most of the celebs kept it casual with their hair and makeup making our lives (and imitation attempts) much easier. Thank God, because stealing Kate Hudson’s McQueen dress was going to be a little tricky.

Graceful and Natural

There is nothing more appealing than that effortless “Oh, I Just Rolled Out of Bed Looking Like This” look. The ladies must have gotten the memo because this was one of the most popular looks on the red carpet. This look is beach waves meets glamazon and is so easy to achieve. First, add a root volumizer (either a mousse or spray would work) to damp hair. Dry your hair upside down until it is slightly damp, flip your head over and finish drying all the way. Once completely dry part your hair down the middle. To get the effortless curls that Claire, Kate, Amanda, and Hayden were rocking use a large1 ½ to 2 inch barrel curling iron to curl the ends of your hair. The important thing to remember is not to hold it for longer than ten seconds, anything longer will give you more structured curls rather than loose, carefree ones. Add a few spritz of hairspray and you’re ready to walk the streets like an A-lister walks the red carpet. 

The perfect California girl

Effortless hair meets sultry smoky eye

Still my favorite look of the night!

Casual Glamour

Most of the stars kept their makeup, like their hair, totally laid back. Natural eye makeup, neutral lips, and glowing skin were all the rage on Sunday. There was an occasional smoky eye or a pop of color on the lips, but for the most part stars were content with looking like their beautiful selves. 

Amy Adams looking fresh and pretty

Anne Hathaway, stunning as always

Sienna Miller, does she even have makeup on?! 

Nicole Richie really made a statement by rocking the same shade blue as her dress. Overkill? No way. This is a HUGE trend for spring. The key to avoid looking like a bad 1980’s nightmare is to keep the rest of your makeup super clean and simple so the focus is on your eyes. She nailed it.

The It Girls of the 2013 Golden Globes

Well ladies and gents, Award Season 2013 is officially here! The 70^th annual Golden Globes aired last night and even though it was a chilly 50 degrees outside nominees and their dates still managed to sizzle on the red carpet. The fashion world met Hollywood once again at the corner of glitz and glamour, providing quite a feast for the eyes for all of the style-obsessed viewers. As predicted trends such as black and white, sheer, ruffles, cutouts, and bursts of color all made an appearance on the A-list stars. The awards for “Best Actress in a Designer Gown” are…

Best White: Hayden Panettiere

Nominated for her show Nashville Hayden showed up looking every bit like a California glamour girl in a white Roberto Cavalli dress. She kept her hair and makeup natural giving the whole look a very effortless effect. The pop of color from her bubblegum pink clutch added some fun and kept the look young and playful.

Best Cutout: Emily Blunt

Emily arrived at the Globes looking stunning in a metallic gold cutout dress by Michael Kors.  The body conscious, complete with lace overlay, fit her like a glove and allowed her to show off her petite figure. She wore her hair up in a high, chic bun and complimented the whole look with a Ferragamo bag and gorgeous red and pink Lorraine Schwartz earrings and bracelet.

Best Pop of Color: Nicole Richie

Nicole stood out amid the sea of black and white last night in this sky blue Naeem Khan dress. Staying true to her bohemian roots she paired the long sleeve dress with a black fringe bag by her own label House of Harlow 1960. She wore her hair down and went for another huge trend for this spring, blue eye shadow.

Best New Mom: Claire Danes

Can you believe Claire had a baby less than a month ago? And with a win last night for her role in Homeland it’s safe to say that little guy is quite a good luck charm.  The glowing new mama turned heads in a custom made red dress by Versace. She too kept her hair down with an effortless feel but played up the smoky eye to round out the overall look.

Best Risk Taker: Kate Hudson

If Kate was planning on making a statement on the red carpet she succeeded when she picked this black and gold Alexander McQueen gown. The elaborate gold collar and belt detail perfectly compliment the keyhole detail to create a sexy-chic look. She softened the look with having natural relaxed hair (HUGE trend last night!) and very natural makeup. MY personal favorite!!
