I promised myself that I would stay away from the mainstream of what different critics would have to say in regards to what plus size women wore to the 71st Golden Globes for 2014. But of course, I had to say a few things because it would be un-Chardline of me not to do so.
First off, I have to start with Gabourey Sidibe.
With a custom dress made by Daniel Musto with Michael Costello, she was named in almost every blog and magazine as one of the worst dressed actresses at the Golden Globes this year.
How does Gabby feel about it?
I couldn’t have answered it better myself.
I didn’t like the look on her for many reasons, one of them being that it made her look a lot older than she is.
She looks like she’s going into her mid 40’s, from her hair style to her dress and she’s only 30 years old. Her stylist didn’t do such a great job with her entire look this year.
In the past, Gabby has been seen in better clothing in my opinion.
Oscars 2010
Although she was at least 30 lbs heavier here, her stylist did a great job in minimizing her less attractive areas.
It wasn’t a great pick this year Gabby, but I know she’ll kill it next year.
Speaking of someone who KILLED it this year, who wore a custom gown that was a collaboration between herself, seamstress Daniela Kurrle, and stylist George Kotsiopoulos.
Melissa McCarthy
I love the way that it fits her. It’s elegant, as it the theme for the Golden Globe. It fits her silhouette great because it doesn’t focus in on her trouble areas.
Melissa was said to be starting her own line a 3 years ago, I wonder what ever happened to that ? I was looking forward to it.
As I was researching for more plus sized women at the GG, it was clear that there was only 2 plus sized women.
That really broke my heart, I guess they aren’t casting for plus size actresses for major motion pictures. This is disheartening but today’s reality.
-sigh- Until then,
Toodles.
