New York: Lupita Nyong'o wowed in a sexy, caped red silk strapless gown from Ralph Lauren and Lena Dunham showed up Sunday night in form-fitting canary yellow - tattoos out - for the Golden Globes, one of Hollywood's biggest fashion fests.
Kerry Washington complemented her baby bump in sleeveless white gown with a low neck and draped effect up top from Balenciaga.
"I also feel like I have the best date of the night, my little accessory here," she told E! Entertainment.
Also in white was Jennifer Lawrence. She chose Dior, with two tiers on a full skirt cinched at the waist and below by black trim. Julia Roberts wore a black gown with a white, button-down collar. It was a signature design from Dolce and Gabbana.
"It's a very interesting intersection of eveningwear and daywear, but one that you have to be her to wear," stylist Robert Verdi said.
Hal Rubenstein, editor-at-large of InStyle magazine, gushed about Nyong'o's dress and overall look.
"The color was extraordinary against her skin. There was something so regal about that dress. She didn't muck it up with tons of jewelry, and the boyish hair made it look even cooler," he said.
Early arrivals included Zooey Deschanel in a gold ballet-skirted Oscar de la Renta with a youthful, boxy cropped top and vintage Neil Lane earrings. Other stars and nominees went for older Hollywood shimmer in slinky gold, silver and Champagne.
Cate Blanchett provided a Katharine Hepburn moment in Armani with high lace at the neck and a how-low-can-you-go back, along with Chopard earrings.
Amy Poehler picked three custom gowns from Stella McCartney, including a slinky black halter look, while her co-host for the awards season opener, Tina Fey, went for a fuller, strapless red and black from Carolina Herrera as her first look.
Amy Adams wore two shades of red in a backless high-waisted halter dress with a low front slit to the waist by Valentino. It evoked her '70s character in 'American Hustle.'
Dunham, yanking at the top of her Zac Posen gown as she waited for her turn on the red carpet, joked about eating and the awards season as she practiced her diva poses. "I actually ate a thick patty of hamburger before I came, like a cave woman," she joked to E!
More subdued was Elizabeth Moss in an embellished Bordeaux and black, short-sleeve gown from J. Mendel, her choice from about five she considered.
Tom Ford was Hayden Panettiere's choice - a black-and-white halter with a high side slit.
"I'd wear a plastic bag if it was designed by him," she said on E!
This year's red carpet had some bold color thanks to Reese Witherspoon in bluish turquoise from the Calvin Klein Collection and a pregnant Olivia Wilde in emerald Gucci.
The rep carpet had a few 'Gone With the Wind' moments, Verdi said, with full princess skirts that could have easily worn their recipients rather than the other way around.
He counted Fey's red carpet look and Sofia Vergara's Zac Posen among them. Vergara, with huge statement blue Lorraine Schwartz jewels around her neck, might agree.
"I feel like I'm carrying a tent," she told E! "I think I'm smuggling Colombians underneath this dress."
