Golden Globes: Silver the new gold of fashion

With lots of easy breezy makeup, minimal jewellery and loose hair, the Golden Globes opened the awards season with a red carpet chock-full of sparkly metallics, bright whites and dramatic reds.

Among those lauded by fashion pros at the awards was Julianne Moore as she led a parade of silver in custom Givenchy haute couture by Riccardo Tisci. Her sequins faded to black and a cascade of feathers at the bottom.

“For me she was it. She looked amazing, but the metallic trend was debated all over social media. A lot of people see it as very flashy but I think it looks great because it’s just a new, totally different texture and something that’s more interesting than just the same old strapless gowns,” said Eric Wilson, fashion news director for InStyle magazine.
