Golden Globes Offers Preview of Glam Looks to Come - safnow.org

Menswear, candy-colored dresses and underwear as outwear represented some of the major fashion trends from last weekend’s Golden Globes.

When Hollywood turned out last weekend for the 2020 Golden Globes, the glam attendees also turned out some fashion-forward looks that could give florists insight into what’s ahead for wedding and dance customers.

Among the trend highlights from the night that you might want to share with your design team as you prep for bridal consults and high school formal events:

Menswear is having a moment. A number of women donned menswear-inspired attire on Sunday night’s red carpet. Cynthia Erivo, star of “Harriet,” wore a custom-made black-and-white gown by Thom Browne. The dress, which included floral elements, “called to mind elements of the tuxedo,” according to Adam Tschorn, deputy fashion editor of the Los Angeles Times, who called the borrowed-from-men’s-closet look “the evening’s takeaway trend.” Other stars who embraced the aesthetic included Kerry Washington, who paired a black satin skirt with “a black tuxedo-like jacket worn sans shirt and accessorized with a rope-chain-like diamond necklace that knotted at her sternum like a bedazzled necktie,” wrote Tschorn.

Bright colors are big. Candy-colored frocks were also all over the awards show. “The pops of color seemed to break in two directions: bright pinks, lilacs and a couple of canary yellows and a vault’s worth of dark and dusky jewel tones, dominated by emerald greens and ruby reds,” Tschorn wrote. Actresses who embraced the look included Jennifer Lopez, “who wore a Valentino gown that sported not one but two super-sized bows (one in emerald green and one in gold) that made her look like the last unwrapped Christmas gift under the tree,” Tschorn explained.

Undergarments are in full sight. This last one might make parents of prom-goers cringe, but… Underwear as outerwear was on full display at the show, and Tschorn expects everyday fashionistas to take note. Examples include Charlize Theron, who wore a black bustier top, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who donned a caramel colored Fendi gown “with a top that looked like transparent tulle layered over a sports bra,” according to Tschorn.
