I am seeing swathes of bare skin on the red carpet for tonight’s Golden Globes and no, that isn’t titillating. If you can’t wear some well chosen bling on an awards night, when WILL you pull it out of the jewelry box (or Harry Winston’s safe on loan)? I spot one or two demure bracelets, a few pairs of shoulder duster earrings (yawn), and I am certain that Helena Bonham-Carter’s disastrous Vivienne Westwood dress and mismatched red and green shoes will come in for their share of “fashion don’t” criticism tomorrow. Ladies, if you spent all that money on … ahem … enhanced decolletage, at least show it off with a statement necklace.

At least Eva Longoria used Neil Lane’s bling in an inventive way on the waist of her Zac Posen dress.  Here’s hoping the Oscars offer more in the way of true star glitter.
