Monday's Inspiration...

Posted by DJS Events

Today's inspiration is due to a much needed vacation, away from the freezing cold weather here in New York. Who else agrees?

2013 Golden Globes After Parties..

Posted by DJS Events

The 2013 Golden Globes After Parties really missed the mark this year in our opinion. Overall it seemed as if almost every party was a bit all over the place and confusing. We had some ideas on what we may have done differently...let us know if you agree! (All photos c/o Bizbash)


1. InStyle & Warner Brothers
 This whole event was way too dark for our taste. Understandably, with the sponsor being Godiva, it was in their best interest to use that theme to their advantage. However, the red and brown reminds us of typical Valentines day chocolate. Not a fan.
  

2. HBO 



Not sure why they chose a pink and black color palette for HBO. Reminds us of a Sweet Sixteen party rather than one of the most notable nights in Hollywood.

3.THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY



Maybe it is the angle of these photos, but it does not seem to make any sense nor do we like the color scheme. It does not seem inviting, yet the elements could have worked if it was done with softer colors to become more "Hollywood Glamour". 

4. NBC/UNIVERSAL



We have to say that we love the color palette that was used at the NBC/Universal party. The element that we loved most about this event (according to Bizbash.com) The Teacher Trek program was promoted by using  "the red carpet had a whiteboard for celebrities to sign; it will be auctioned off with proceeds benefiting the program." This gave us the idea that more celebrity parties, such as the Golden Globes, are great places for charities and donations to take place. Why not add more next year?

5. FOX  

To us, this looks like a venue that was left as is, plus the addition of some neon green lights and trees. There is not one part of this design or decor that we can appreciate. There is no excitement here.

6. AMC

 Are we missing something here? The AMC party looks like an old catering hall with some sparse flower centerpieces. Dislike.

Overall, none of these parties seemed to impress us...what do you think?

Golden Globes 2013 Red Carpet Recap

DJS Events may not totally agree with the masses regarding the Golden Globe's Red Carpet "best" and "worst" dressed lists, but we do have our reasons...

Take a look at our top 10 "best" and "worst" dressed lists and let us know what you think.


TOP 10 BEST DRESSED:



1. Sofia Vergara (Designer: Michael Cinco)

How do we describe our thoughts on this look? One word...AMAZING! Sofia, who rarely wears black on the red carpet, looks absolutely stunning in this sparkling gown. 

2. Jennifer Lopez (Designer: Zuhair Murad)

As usual, Jennifer displays her curves in this nude illusion lace dress. Although very sexy, the lace overlay, minimal accessories and gorgeous waves gives her a modest  "Old Hollywood" style. 

3. Claire Danes (Designer: Versace)

This is a woman who had a baby just one month ago?! Now this is a true example of what effortless beauty means. Claire looks absolutely flawless in this beautiful Versace number and has a glow about her that you just cannot get from a great makeup artist.

4. Miranda Kerr (Designer: Zuhair Murad)

 Clearly we know that Miranda is a Victoria's Secret angel for a reason. Revealing, yet absolutely stunning dress that definitely turned heads all night long. 

5. Halle Berry (Designer: Versace)

Photo c/o Fabsugar
 There is just something about this dress that really catches our eye. It has been made clear by the media that this was one of the top "worst" dresses but in our eyes, Halle Berry can do no wrong. 

6. Salma Hayek (Designer: Gucci)

Photo c/o Canadian Beauty
 Just look at those curves! Here is a great example of why all women can still look sexy while leaving something to the imagination. We should all take some tips from this glamorous look.

7. Catherine Zeta Jones (Designer: Jenny Packham)

Classic. Classy. Old Hollywood Glamour. Enough said. 

8. Taylor Swift (Designer: Donna Karan)

Photo c/o Huffington Post
    One of Taylor's all-time best looks. The fit and color of the gown is absolutely perfect for her body and complexion. Her stylist definitely got this one right by not overwhelming her with jewelry, hair and makeup. 

9. Kate Hudson (Alexander McQueen)

photo c/o Popsugar
 Another woman who recently had a baby and looks better than ever! Many people would not be able to pull this dress off, but Kate Hudson really knows how to work it. The only element of this dress that should have been more prominent is the neckline.With such beautiful detailing, her hair could have either been worn in a sleek pony or glamorous waves parted on one side. 


10. Tina Fey (Designer: TBD)

Unlike Tina's red carpet arrival dress, this halter number suits her body perfectly. Elegant and beautiful!


And then there were those who really missed the mark this year... 

 TOP 10 WORST DRESSED: 

1. Lena Dunham (Designer: Zac Posen)

Photo c/o Popsugar
 Lena may have one multiple Golden Globes on this special night, but she also won the WORST dressed award. There is nothing right about this entire look: the fit, style, color of the gown is all wrong. A spray tan, makeup and different dress would be the only elements to help her out int his situation. Also, ladies, if you can't walk in high heels then DON'T wear them! 

2. Julianna Moore (Designer: Tom Ford)

Photo c/o Glamour
Stunning woman...ugly dress. This Tom Ford custom creation does absolutely nothing for her.

3. Jessica Alba (Designer: Oscar de la Renta)

photo c/o Temptalia
Word of advice: do not try matching your lipstick to your outfit, because it will rarely work out for the best. In Jessica's case, this proved to be true because the colors clashed completely. Her stylist got this look all wrong. Without the "prom" style bottom half of this dress, it would have been beautiful. 

4. Lucy Liu (Designer: Carolina Herrara)

photo c/o Us Magazine
 FAIL. She could almost blend in with the bushes in the background in this photo. This dress looks like a mix between Gone with the Wind and hideous wallpaper. Although this ensemble would be difficult for any human being to pull off, Lucy is definitely the wrong candidate to be wearing this dress. 


5. Amanda Seyfried (Designer: Givenchy)

Photo c/o InStyle
Les Miserable. This Givenchy design makes Amanda look washed out due to her already pale complexion. The fit is not great, and the clasp at the top of the dress does not make any sense.

6. Anne Hathaway (Designer: Chanel)

Photo c/o Us Magazine
Les Miserable part two. Horrible choice for Anne's pale complexion as well, but maybe her and Amanda Seyfried took tips from one another. This dress does nothing for her figure except make her look like she is in a full body cast.

7. Jennifer Lawrence (Designer: Dior Haute Couture)

Photo c/o Us Magazine
Madonna boobs = why? Dress is not bad overall, but this just does not make sense to us. Also, she could have done without the belt, and opted for a gorgeous necklace instead. 

8. Rachel Zoe (Designer: TBD)

Photo c/o Style Blazer
 Rachel Zoe should consider getting herself a stylist...oh wait she is one herself. This entire look would probably not be the best way to promote her styling services. Not only does the dress accentuate her scary skinny figure, but her overdone makeup and orange spray tan adds to making this look a major FAIL.

9. Megan Fox (Designer: Dolce & Gabanna)

Photo c/o Us Magazine
Just another starlet that took the wrong advice of matching her dress to her pale skintone. Although Megan is a beautiful woman who is in amazing shape (especially after recently giving birth), this dress does nothing for her. However, if this Dolce & Gabanna creation was in a bold color like red or black, she would have been stunning.


10. Sienna Miller (Designer: Erdem)

Photo c/o Styleite
Known for being a fashionista, Sienna chose to go in an unexpected route by choosing this number. To skip applying any makeup to her face was an even bigger mistake. She blends right in with the washed-out color of this dress and definitely failed to impress.
