The carpet was red, but it was a great night for white as the stars got glam for the Golden Globes. Sleek snowy gowns, racy red dresses, trailing trains, tons of tulle and an abundance of bling led the trends as the A-list adorned themselves in the most of-the-moment designer duds. From our up-close-and-personal perch on the red carpet runway, Hollywood.com caught all of the heavenly haute couture, and we’re running down our picks for the most fashionable frocks, the tuxedo triumphs and a few embarrassing busts (you know who we mean).

Hollywood.com’s Couture Champion: As far as we’re concerned Keira Knightley easily pirated away the Globes fashion crown, making a splash in her strapless white Valentino column gown with jeweled waist sash, accentuated with an enviable assortment of booty, including with a Tod’s clutch and Cartier’s $450,000 antique diamonds drops. Keira’s partner-in-plunder was super-stylist Rachel Zoe.
Our runner-up for top style star, Maria Bello was bellisimo in her brilliant white Ellie Saab gown with pungling neckline, empire waist and cascading skirt. “I really like Ellie Saab,” she told Hollywood.com. “I wasn’t trying to make a statement. I just wanted something easy.” Maria accentuated with Jimmy Choos and understated diamond studs complemented by a chunky ring--“Just a little somethin-somethin’.” The crowning touch, white gardenias in her upswept hair, left her in full flower
Looking absolutely Dior-geous in John Galliano’s sheer black lace cocktail dress with a tulle flower adornment and thread embroidery over a nude tulle sheath, Charlize Theron was a leg up on the competition, even more dazzling than the Dior 1931 Cartier platinum-and-diamond flower cuff (on loan from Cartier’s museum) on her wrist.
There’s nothing desperate about Teri Hatcher’s seriously sexy bronze metallic Versace V-neck, with art deco-style beading, a near-non-existent back and dramatic hip cutouts (no, there’s nothing underneath). She paired it with a tiny bronze Daniel Swarovski clutch that carried her i.d. (in case the security guards don’t own TVs) and classic H. Stern jewels. “They were the first to loan me stuff when it wasn’t quite so popular to,” Teri told Hollywood.com.
Regally reigning in a periwinkle Carmen Marc Valvo goddess gown, Queen Latifah’s crown jewels included Chopard’s 23-carat, round-shaped drop diamond earrings and a fancy yellow pear-shaped diamond drop pendant on a diamond chain goddess gown. “I feel pretty today, I must say,” said Her Highness. “This is one of the good days where you just know you feel good and you kind of walk with that extra swagger.” Especially in Stuart Wietzman shoes.
She may have cradled a Golden Globe, but Rachel Weisz’s genuine bundle of joy was still four months away from delivery, prompting her to chose a strapless gold gown by Donna Karan that made her one hot mama. “It was allowing me to grow in all different areas,” she told Hollywood.com.
“I picked my dress out the day I got nominated,” red-hot Eva Longoria told Hollywood.com of her Bob Mackie crimson crisscross halter, which was sewn into as it was finished on her way to her limo. “It’s a throwback to Old Hollywood.” Completing the fiery frock were H. Stern jewels (including a good-luck porcelain heart from her beau Tony Parker) and sky-high gold platform shoes to make her a red carpet standout.
Sin Citizen Jessica Alba was into the black in an ebony silk Versace gown with a trailing train that left men’s jaws similarly dragging the ground in her wake. Her sexy smile outshone even her platinum and diamond chandelier earrings and diamond cuff bracelets by Neil Lane.
“Isn't it beautiful?” asked Felicity Huffman as she showed off her Grecian-inspired Marchesa gown with silver straps and empire waist, a standout among the whiteout trend on the red carpet that along with her Globe win left her feeling all-powerful. “I feel like a goddess.”
