Lena Dunham Lights Up the Golden Globes
While the Golden Globes are still fresh on our minds, let’s relive some of those exciting moments:
Lena Dunham, who looked lovely in a chocolate brown Zac Posen gown, won for best actress in a TV comedy, and her show “Girls” was named best TV comedy show. And all this happened on the same night as the “Girls” season 2 premiere. Looks like things worked out better than Dunham thought they would — she tweeted before the show that she was afraid her support garment might kill her).
(And in case you didn’t get enough of the “Girls” showrunner at the awards show, there’s lots more: A piece on Lena Dunham’s audacity and commitment to making us look at her naked body gets a lot of attention; Dunham addresses criticism aimed at her show and brushes off the hate from Howard Stern; She chats candidly with Amanda Dobbins over at Vulture; Joyce Carol Oates predicts that her memoir will be a big success; and Dunham divulges that she went commando at the recent “Girls” season premiere event.)
Sacha Baron Cohen made fun of Anne Hathaway’s unfortunate “up skirt shot” last month, which Joan Rivers also mocked most distastefully on Twitter.
In case you missed all or some of the red carpet fashion, take a look here at: Mayim Bialik rocking the tzniusdik sheer long-sleeved look; Kate Hudson showing off a sexy Alexander McQueen keyhole dress; Lea Michele looking positively icy; Rachel Weisz exhibiting better hair and makeup than dress; Liev Schreiber posing with partner Naomi Watts; Max Greenfield smooching with wife Tess Sanchez; Taylor Swift stunning in a plum taffeta gown by Donna Karan; and Julianna Margulies, in an intricate dark lace dress by Emilio Pucci, reuniting with her ER co-star George Clooney.
