The Golden Globes are the motion pictures and television programs awards. It is a once a year event organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Be prepared to hear every award winner than them in their speech!
The Golden Globes is a formal event though not as formal as The Oscar’s. It’s known to be the “fun party” event of all the awards shows – they even serve champagne at the end of the red carpet! It’s a sit down dinner and people will get a little rowdy as wine and champagne is served all night. We say, save the floor length gowns for The Oscar’s. Go on, show a little leg! Calf and knee length dresses can be perfectly stylish and acceptable for this gala.
If you live in Los Angeles, your possibilities for dresses are endless. You can’t go wrong with a trip to Dolce & Gabbanna (Sunset Plaza or Rodeo) or Prada (Rodeo) – you’d be surprised what you can get for a very affordable price. Yes, even at these designer stores! However, you don’t have to go that route though. Designers like BCBG and ABS always have dresses that are stylish, very affordable and suitable for this fancy affair. And, it’s always wise to take a trip to the dress department store.
Ladies, you’ll want to look polished and glamorous so be sure to have your hair and makeup polished and work in plenty of accessories. As a rule, a tiny clutch or evening bag is all you need to tote a few essentials. Be sure to bring along lip gloss and of course, your camera!
Men, traditional formalwear is what you’ll need to rely on. Don’t forget good grooming – have hair coifed, a good clean shave and exfoliate your skin with a great scrub. You’ll look better in pictures!
The event is held every year in January in Los Angeles. Generally, it means warm, sunny temperatures during the day with it cooling off at night. But, since January can also be Los Angeles’ rainy season, there can sometimes be showers.
