2. Pink Perfection: Kate Bosworth in Dolce & Gabbana Sequins

Kate Bosworth may have gone crazy with sequins, but we love this shimmering mermaid-style gown with jewel embellishments. The Dolce & Gabbana pink sequin gown was styled with Norman Silverman diamond jewelry.

3. Vintage Charm: Katy Perry’s Pastel Pink Prada Gown

While most ladies opted for sequins and bold looks, Katy Perry chose a simple, floor-length dress paired with Harry Winston jewelry.
This dusty pink Prada dress features a bow detail at the back and a plunging neckline that showcases Katy’s cleavage. We love the pink hue, especially since pastel pinks and blues are the colors of 2016.

4. Golden Glow: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Atelier Versace

Armed with tousled tresses and a supermodel body, recently engaged Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was a surprise on the red carpet.
According to Us Weekly, Jason spent $350,000 (£243,000) on a five-carat diamond ring for his fiancée. Since that ring and her hot arm candy were the best accessories, she didn’t need anything else to shine that night and finished her look with a simple pair of Giuseppe Zanotti gold ankle-strap sandals.

The gorgeous model wore a golden Atelier Versace dress embellished with beads. We love how the slinky number draped perfectly on her sexy figure.

5. Royal Radiance: Jenna Dewan-Tatum in Zuhair Murad

Jenna Dewan-Tatum glammed up in a gorgeous Zuhair Murad Couture gown in a deep royal blue color. Looking beautiful in blue, the actress styled her ball gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Her best accessory was, of course, the dapper Channing Tatum by her side. Also, how can anyone not love a gown with pockets?

6. Chartreuse Queen: Jennifer Lopez in Giambattista Valli

The ageless Jennifer Lopez shone on the red carpet in a stunning Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown in a beautiful chartreuse hue.

The dress was one of the night’s standout looks with draped details and capelet.

7. Drama & Elegance: Zendaya’s Tiered Marchesa Gown

Zendaya opted for a glamorous look in a tiered Marchesa gown that featured laser-cut floral details and a plunging neckline. This fierce fairytale gown was accessorized with Yoko London pearls, diamond earrings, and a Lydia Courteille cocktail ring.

8. Red Carpet Siren: Olivia Wilde in Michael Kors

Choosing a red hot look, Olivia opted for a Michael Kors Collection dress with a plunging neckline.

She styled the floor-length dress with an assortment of Bulgari jewels.

9. Hollywood Glamour: Lady Gaga in Velvet Versace

We always admire Lady Gaga’s polished red carpet looks, and she nailed it at the 2016 Golden Globes.

She opted for a timeless velvet Atelier Versace gown featuring a sultry off-the-shoulder neckline and expertly padded hips that perfectly accentuated her figure. Gaga completed her sophisticated ensemble with over 200 carats of dazzling Neil Lane diamond jewelry.

10. Gilded Grace: Brie Larson in Calvin Klein Sequins

Brie Larson showed off her enviable figure in a revealing Calvin Klein Collection sequined dress that shimmered on the red carpet. She paired the body-hugging number with Tiffany & Co. jewelry.
