Some of the best-dressed celebrities included Anne Hathaway, who looked dazzling in a spangled Armani gown; Olivia Wilde, star of popular television show “House”, who chose a full-skirted chocolate brown Marchesa dress accented with gold sequins; and Carrie Underwood, who was glamorized in a Badgley Mischka pale gown accented with an elegant up-do. Some of those nominated for the worst-dressed list included Helena Bonham-Carter, who frequents the list with wild and interesting choices in apparel; Michelle Williams, who looked overwhelmed by her over-sized hippie frock; and Natalie Portman, who chose a dress that emphasized her growing baby bump with flower accents which overwhelmed the star’s tiny frame.

The best-accessorized list, however, did include Miss Portman, who wore a beautiful Tiffany and Co. diamond necklace that made her neck sparkle in the camera flashes. Jennifer Lopez selected more than $5 million worth of stunning Harry Winston diamonds, including $3 million earrings, and completed the sparkling look with a Swarovski crystal-encrusted clutch purse. Well-known actress Helen Mirren wore a gown with delicate beading at the shoulders, and complemented the look with teardrop diamond earrings and a diamond Cartier necklace, worth $1.6 million.

Diamonds were a hit, being showcased on many types of accessories. As always, the stars were stunning, glittering on the red carpet during the Golden Globes 2011. And they showcased many of the styles and trends that will become more and more popular in the months to follow.
