SIZZLING ON THE RED CARPET

Posted Jan 17 2009 @ 04:41 PM

Wearing a glamorous crimson gown, Eva Longoria lit up the red carpet of the 2009 Golden Globes held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on January 11. Her fire-engine red dress by Reem Acra is so hot, I think I hear sirens! I am absolutely smitten with the plunging scalloped neckline, waist cinching corset bodice and flirty mermaid train. The fiery hue is perfect against her tan skin, and the princess style lines combined with the satiny sheen of the fabric creates a divine fit (if red is your color, try Miguelina’s Naomi Dress in Red or for cooler temps, Qi’s Hoodie Cable Dress in Red Kiss). I haven’t been wowed by any of Eva’s appearances lately, but I must say this is my personal red carpet favorite! Eva kept her makeup simple and swept her hair into a low bun, allowed her dress and dazzling diamonds to remain the focal point of the ‘fit. In the accessories dept, Eva left her neckline bare and opted for a pair of sparkly flower earrings by Vendura (Lisa K’s Flower Earrings in Gold would be equally appropriate), adding some decadent bangles by H. Stern (try CC Skye’s versatile Triple Cobra Stretch Bangles in Gold) and completing the look with a glimmering Swarovski crystal studded clutch. At first glance I wasn’t sure if the bag is a little too flashy with such a loud dress, but I don’t think any other style would’ve worked better – thoughts? Among the Golden Globe picks, which celebrity did you think looked the best on the red carpet? Now that the New Year is in full swing, E! asked Eva what her favorite part of 2008 was. You’d think she’d say opening her restaurant, Beso, or kicking off the fifth season of Desperate Housewives with her beloved cast mates, but Eva dwelled on a more personal moment: "My one-year anniversary vacation! It was on a boat in the South of France and Italy, so that was really great." Sounds great to me too! What was your favorite part of 2008?
