Globe Glamour

On the red carpet, haute fashion was flying high and million-dollar smiles were in abundance. Several style icons opted for softly draped gowns that brought a Grecian goddess touch to the Left Coast: Cate Blanchett in periwinkle Jean Paul Gaultier, Uma Thurman in white Christian Dior, and Best Actress in a TV Drama Mariska Hargitay in pale pink Vera Wang.

Representing rich color and Old Hollywood sophistication were red-carpet regulars Nicole Kidman in a teal and peacock adorned Gucci gown, Scarlett Johansson in an iridescent strapless confection from rising Brit star Roland Mouret, and Best Actress for a Motion Picture Drama Hilary Swank in a rich copper Calvin Klein sheath. All in all, Sunday’s golden moments were a bright opener to the award-season fashion parade.
