Golden Globes Best Dressed (According to AMB dress standards adopted from my mama.)

In my formative years my mom taught me what I now consider to be the golden rule of fashion: Choose the dress you feel most beautiful and confident in. Choose a dress that flatters you. Don’t let the dress wear you. To this day, I don’t care if a specific designer is all the rage, or if a dress is on-trend. If it feels good and looks good, I’ll say yes to the dress. And regarding that quintessential red carpet question, “Who are you wearing?” – I would probably mispronounce my dress designer’s name if I ever ended up in a pre awards show powwow with Ryan Seacrest.

So with that, my best dressed picks for the 2013 Golden Globes: Kate Hudson and Jennifer Garner. I have no idea who designed the dresses worn by these two lovely ladies, but they looked gorgeous. And their gowns? Beautiful but not overpowering. I love their red carpet looks. They (and their stylists) chose frocks that flatter without stealing the spotlight completely from these fine-looking women. Mama would be proud.
