What is Light - Urple?

I know everyone out there in the blog world has already posted about their favorite (and least favorite) dresses from last night's Golden Globes so I thought I'd just post a little bit about the trends we saw.

Purple was definitely THE color of the night:

Versace, Valentino

Elie Saab, Cavalli

Lanvin, Bottega Veneta, J Mendel

Many actresses played it safe with black but they still stood out in the crowd:

Victoria Beckham Collection, Georges Hobeika

Valentino, Elie Saab, Lanvin

All in all, the trends - column dresses, sweetheart necklines and asymmetrical necklines - are silhouettes from last year's award season. They're classic and flattering and my guess is we will see many more in the upcoming award season.
