2014 Golden Globe awards Red Carpet Trend Alert: Hi-Lo Gowns--

Hi-Lo gowns have been popular lately--both on the runway and the Red Carpet. Hi-Lo means higher in the front and low-to the floor, or beyond--in the back. Oscar de la Renta is a big proponent of this silhouette. It's a fabulous style especially since it can showcase the gorgeous shoes that sometimes get lost in a floor-length gown. And as a note: this is one of the ONLY ways shoes should be seen...

My favorite gown in this Hi-Lo group are Michelle Dockery's Oscar de la Renta strapless sequined dress and I also thought Elizabeth Moss' fitted and fishtail Hi-Lo was stunning.

Which Hi-Lo gown did you like? 

WHO WORE WHAT?.....71st Annual Golden Globe Awards: Michelle Dockery in Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013

 

 Michelle Dockery in Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013: "Downton Abbey" actress Michelle Dockery wore
this beautiful gold paillettes over a putty silver-colored silk satin
strapless ball gown from the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013 collection,
which means it's Almost Vintage (in Red Carpet years!). LOL!

It's a classic de la Renta-style gown (secretly co-designed by John Galliano by the way) and is very on-trend with the slight high-lo hem and on trend with the red carpet in that...it's a BALL GOWN! Now, speaking of hems, notice the difference in hem length in the front on 5' 8" Michelle vs. 6' 1" tall Amazonian supermodel Karlie Kloss?
