My favorite dress at the Golden Globes on Sunday was Diane Kruger’s ombre pink Christian Lacroix.

Of course, I’m fond of ombre pink.

When I first wore my gown, I excitedly emailed a photo to a friend who snarkily said, “You look beautiful in anything, of course, but that dress is a bit bridesmaid-y.” My reply was, “That would have to be one stupid bride.”
Not a good idea to have half-naked women in your bridal party.
Speaking of bridesmaids, the expression, “Often a bridesmaid, never a bride,” originated in ads for Listerine mouthwash in the 1930s.

The saying that’s more relevant to my dress-related email exchange is “With friends like this, who needs enemies?” As for Diane, I saw four unattractive fashion police criticizing her dress on TV yesterday. I don’t have a saying to console her, but maybe my favorite Katt Williams quote will suffice: “What do you think a hater’s job is? To fucking hate. So let them motherfuckers do their goddamn job!”
UPDATED TO ADD: No matter what Katt says, it’s more fun to feel the love than the hate, so thanks to luscious blogger Liz of It’s Unbeweavable! for interviewing me. Check me out here.
Had no clue that’s where the expression came from! Love Diane Kruger’s dress and yours. =D
beautiful dress 🙂
Love you in Zang’s dress! Cowl back baby!
The video that turned my night around! And that dress is amazing. Diane’s and yours. Win.
You are hilarious! I always think people who have so much time for hating are very “BORING”
I’m trying to get to 16 before the summer gets here.
I wish he was still doing shows. In fact, 2 years ago, I was watching him do a variation of this show on my birthday! This one…not so eventful…so I’m glad you posted this video to remind me. =D
Hahaha! Thanks for that!
You know, I totally <3 the pink dress. You look beautiful! But, if I saw you on the street, I'd probably try to steal it from you.
If you’ve got it, flaunt it, baby! And… how refreshing to see a naturally beautiful back, instead of the usual eyeful of artificially enhanced boob.
Your dress is just stunning, the colour and the back detail are divine!!
Ur dress is the best! 😀
♥
The detailing on the Lacroix dress was delightful and gorgeous.
Diane looks stunning!
I have to say…loved the pink. It was a nice splash of colour is a sea of nude colour dresses that washed everyone wearing them out.
They are indeed very similar! I think Diane’s dress is fabulous, for it reminds me of two other dresses I loved either more
1) Christine Hendricks’. Did you see it?
2) Yours
xx
I loved Diane’s dress too. Everyone else wore black, white or neutral. Your dress is gorgeous, both coming and going!
That would be one lucky bridesmaid… always when I’ve been one, the dresses sucked!
Whoa, check out the cool relief carvings in the second photo!
Oh yeah, pretty dress too.
Unbelievable! You and I picked the same dress as our favorite at the Globes. I was looking at the roundup on People.com, and I stared at that one a long time.
That Zang dip-backed dress is my favorite that I’ve seen you wear. Pink works!
That dress really is fantastic! I love how it shows off your back.
You are so gorgeous and so beautiful. Your dress is so perfect on you. I envy your so fabulous back. xoxo
I think of you every time I watch Katt. He and that Aziz kid are my favorites. So I think of you often.
That dress is definitely not bridesmaidsey. You wouldn’t be in my wedding party.
I also thought Chloe Sevigny’s dress was nice. A bit different than the usual.
The first time I met you on the net you were wearing that dress. Though both of you look beautiful, you look sexier in yours.
And I’ll never forget you sending me that Kitt video, when I needed it the most.
LOL – thank u for this video Katt is AWESOME!
Yup, let the MF’s do their job – they are soo good at it..
You look insanely beautiful, Wendy;-)
Miss J has to pass for now on KW- something tells her its NSFW. Both dresses are lovely.
That dress is spectacular. It’s got so much personality. It drapes beautifully. Fit’s you beautifully. It’s got bum flowers. I mean, what more could you want??
I didn’t see the awards but I love love Marion Cotillard…she always picks my favorite dress!
Trust you to be a few years ahead of the curve 🙂
definitely one stupid bride! you would have upstaged her fo sho.
love that dress- I mean, yours! it’s beautiful and you look amazing wearing it.
have a sweet day, xoxo
that dress is bomb. also, i hate the fashion police. hate in silence, love out loud.
diane kruger always looks absolutely stunning! i love this colour on the both of you x
Wow, Diane’s dress is a masterpice. As is yours.
I’ve been warming up to pink in my dotage. It’s a very flattering and festive color.
I like the Lacroix, but really, if this is a “who wore it better” feature, I’d have to say you.
love love love that Katt Williams, i utterly agree with him and that dress is anything but “bridesmaidsy”! bridesmaids wish they could have gowns that amazing,the bride would be in a lot of trouble if they did!
you look amazing in ombre gown with no buts!
xx

Whenever a hater comes my way I always think of this. Then I go home and watch the video and it all seems to disappear. Love you KAT!
OMG that video is amaaaazing. Hahaha- I love.
I also love you in that dress. It’s spectacular!
1. Loved the interview 2. That back lady. WOW! 3. To quote the situation 4. I still swoon over Gwen Stefani’s ombre Galliano wedding gown!
I prefer your dress, as I don’t see any ass flowers on Diane’s!
lol I love the dress but what can you do people are going to give either constructive comments or just straight up HATE!
Kat Williams is Hilarious
both Diane and you look sooooooooooooo good in your ombre gowns! 0_0 lovestruck
Both pink gowns are gorgeous. And just as you think that one day you might actually cook something from my blog, one day I too will wear color!
I think Diane looks great in anything! My favourite golden globe dress was Zoe Saldana’s!!
And I definitely think you would look beautiful in anything! Gosh, I wouldn’t wanna have you as my bridesmaid:P
xx
Hers wasn’t my favorite but definitely in my top ten! And your dress is gorgeous – the back is stunning!
Diane Krugers dress is great, but yours is better! The back is sexy but toned down by the gorgeously sweet color
look at you in that sexy back dress. HOT
I am loving you in that dress.
FYI, I totally can not remember the name of the native jewerly place on 5th ave.
xo Mish
Diane Kruger looks so pretty in that dress. And so do you!
I missed your blog 🙁
I loved Diane Kruger’s dress, but it got worst dressed in some lists :S
Your back is amazingly toned!!! perfect for that dress!!
You’re right: Diane looked very nice.
