1.) Julia Goldani Telles

I’ll be honest, I had no idea who Julie Goldani Telles was before tonight. Of course, being the serious journalist I am, I discovered she appears in the original Showtime series, "The Affair." Okay, so I used Google. Still, her plunging neckline, vintage silhouette and just all around classic beauty, catapulted her to the top of my list.
2.) Lorde

Lorde’s style has experienced its share of criticism in the past. At last year’s Grammy’s, a good portion of Twitter even accused her of being a witch. While she didn’t forfeit her black for the red carpet, Lorde’s sleek pantsuit and crop-top combo oozed sophisticated style.
3.) Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick’s pitch, and as it turns out, dress, are both perfect. She honestly looked like a valentine in her pink and red Monique Lhuillier gown. Which leads me to my next point: Kendrick, will you be mine?
4.) Dakota Johnson

The metallic trend coated the red carpet, but no one pulled it off better than "50 Shades of Grey" star, Dakota Johnson. The precise detailing and mid-thigh slit on her Chanel dress set her apart from the Diane Krugers and Uzo Adubas of the night.
1.) Lana Del Rey

Summertime may be over, but Rey’s judgment must still be clouded by her debilitating sadness. Her 70s “glamazon” hair and makeup couldn’t save her nightgown-esque get-up.
2.) Amal Clooney

Unfortunately, Amal Clooney’s gorgeous black dress couldn’t overshadow her cheesy, elbow length gloves. The lawyer and wife of George Clooney looked a little too similar to Disney’s rendition of Cinderella. Six-year-old me would have been delighted, but modern Danielle? Not so much.
3.) Keira Knightly

The Golden Globe’s female British guests had a rough time on Sunday. Between Ruth Wilson’s (is that inside out?) faux pas and Knightley’s tribute to winged creatures, my devotion to United Kingdom starlets felt a little less than vindicated. Also, was Knightley wearing a butterfly corsage?

Sidenote

The real, must-have accessory of the night turned out to be a political statement. Celebrities including Kathy Bates, Helen Mirren and Diane Kruger all wore or briefly revealed paraphernalia relating to the Charlie Hebdo attacks that occurred in Paris last week.
