Classic Beauty Rules at the Golden Globes

You know you've wondered what it would be like to look like a celebrity, but you never dreamed it was a real possibility. Thanks to the classic looks worn by famous faces at the 2012 Golden Globes, it's now easy to recreate the look of a hot Hollywood actress.

One of the top trends on the red carpet was the sultry combination of smoky eyes and nude lips, as worn by beauties like Lea Michele, Emma Stone, and Rooney Mara. To make this look work for you, pick eye shadow shades that flatter both your eye color and skin tone. Extremely fair-skinned? Go for brown in lieu of black. Feeling daring? Use colors like green or purple to smoke out the eyes. All eye colors look lovely with silver or gold. Choose a lip color that is one shade lighter than your own, and voilà! You're finished.


If you prefer playing up your lips, you're in luck: A bold red lip paired with defined lashes was another hit with the Tinseltown crowd. Angelina Jolie and Sofia Vergara shone in this elegant look. To create a long-lasting red lip, start by filling in your lips with a lip liner that matches your lipstick. Girls with tanner skin can use peachy blushes, while porcelain gals fare better with pinks. Swipe on a few coats of mascara and you're ready to go. Now there's no reason you can't shine like a star.

Prada's Red Carpet During the Golden Globes

During the excitement of Sunday night's Golden Globes, people couldn't help but notice actors present at a separate engagement: Prada's fall 2012 runway show in Milan. Despite the familiar faces of Adrien Brody, Jamie Bell, Emile Hirsch, Tim Roth, Gary Oldman and Willem Dafoe, attendees were mainly interested in the decadent pieces that each model wore. Prada's latest season integrates concepts like the smoking jacket with outerwear and crisp, high collars. It was a mixture of the late 19th century, twenties, and even the sixties. Yes, it's a possible combination; this show proves it. 

Miuccia Prada added a different kind of machismo flare to each look. It may appear as black-tie attire, but most of the pieces are made from denim and cotton. Sounds comfortable! 

So, what were the highlights of Prada's latest ensembles? Round, red-lens glasses (as seen on Adrien Brody and tucked into Jamie Bell's front pocket), deep-colored coats that looked like satin robes, flowers in lapels, and long, Victorian-esque coats. We have to admit, these actors on the runway actually did look "too cool" to attend the Golden Globes. Oscar Wilde would be proud.
