“"Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.” - John Fairchild

Wow the 2009 Golden Globes are quite something, sartorially speaking.

It was an excellent showing and an awfully difficult decision to make as to which was my favourite dress ... on the one hand I really liked Eva Mendes's white Dior dress with her turquoise necklace but it didn't fit very well on her, whereas Eva Longoria's Reem Acra fitted her like a glove and was super red hot.

Well I'm gonna have to go with my favourite colour :

Looking like she's in a female version of the tuxedo, Kate Winslet manages to look elegant and dignified at the same time :

And I really like this gorgeous gown on Melissa George ... very classy :

Also the stylishly dependable :

I really like it when a bit of colour other than the de rigeur black and predictable red pops up on the red carpet, so I applaud this lovely shade of blue :

And last but not least, a gratuitous picture of the gorgeous Simon Baker:
