Anyone who can look good in a sparkly strapless dress deserves a thumbs-up. Glenn Close looks fantastic in this Oscar de la Renta version at the age of 62 - wow

By rights Lindsay Lohan should be in the 'misses' section, but we can't help but admire the chutzpah required to wear a hoodie to the Golden Globes. It's by Brian Lichtenberg, apparently

The misses

We know you have a gorgeous body, Halle Berry, but do we have to see so much of it?

Opinion is divided over Diane Kruger's pink Christian Lacroix creation. It's very 'fashion-forward', but it's a bit frou-frou for some tastes

Mariah, Mariah ... words fail us. It's Herve Leger by Max Azria if you want to try this look at home

Drew Barrymore's Atelier Versace dress almost works, but the tinsel on the shoulder ruins it. At least she's made an effort to be original

Kate Hudson looks perfectly nice in this ivory Marchesa dress, but unfortunately she's confused an awards ceremony with her wedding day

We like Leona Lewis, but she really needs to sack her stylist. This Roberto Cavalli dress does nothing for her

The men

The men always look the same on the red carpet, but we managed to find a few highlights. First up is Colin Firth in a Tom Ford tux - he and his wife win the 'Most co-ordinated couple' award

Next is Jeff Bridges, who wins the 'Cool Dude' award

Finally we have Robert Downey Jr, who triumphs in the 'I'm gorgeous but I know it' category
