Bejo: The Best Dressed Latina at This Year’s Golden Globes

Much like the carpet at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards, the biggest starlets in television and film were awash in gorgeous jewel tones, from ruby to emerald and amethyst. But the night’s hautest hue appeared to be sapphire.

Even though a Latina didn’t take claim one of the coveted Golden Globes this year, several of them illuminated the red carpet with their oh-so-stylish sheaths.

Here’s a look at this year’s best-dressed Latinas at the Globes:

Bérénice Bejo

She may have lost the Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture award to The Help’s Octavia Spencer, but Bérénice Bejo was the night’s brightest star on the red carpet. The 35-year-old Argentine star of The Artist arrived at the Golden Globes in an Emilio Pucci sapphire silk organza strapless gown. Bejo—who did pick up a Best actress statue at France’s version of the Golden Globes over the weekend—  accessorized her gorgeous gown with a vintage navy blue Daniel Swarovski clutch and Chopard jewelry.

Sofia Vergara

Golden Globe-nominee Sofia Vergara is no stranger to stealing the spotlight on the red carpet; she was one of the best dressed stars at last year’s Emmy Awards. The 39-year-old Colombian Modern Family star, who did two-a-days at the gym for the first time in her life to fit into her super-tight gown, flaunted her figure in a custom Vera Wang peacock strapless mermaid gown. Vergara paired the stunning sapphire gown, which mimicked ocean waves, with Harry Winston jewels.

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba, who partnered with Channing Tatum to present an award at this year’s Globes, dazzled on the red carpet in a pale-lavender Gucci strapless gown with embroidered fish-like scales and a simple train. Alba’s daughter Honor likened it to a mermaid, “because it looks like a mermaid tail to her.” The 30-year-old half-Mexican American actress paired the eye-catching dress with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Bulgari jewels, and a Roger Vivier bag.

Lea Michele

Lea Michele, who rocked the People’s Choice Awards just a few days ago, proved her mettle…or should we say metal…once again as a red carpet superstar. The 25-year-old part-Spanish Glee star donned an antique embroidered illusion dress from Marchesa. She capped off her sparkly dress with Jimmy Choo shoes and Lorraine Schwarz jewels.

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek, who served as a presenter at this year’s awards show, isn’t afraid to take risks on the red carpet. The 45-year-old Mexican Puss in Boots actress proved that again in an architectural metallic gold and black Gucci dress with plenty of razzle-dazzle.

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie, who has transformed herself into a true fashion icon, look glam and gorgeous in a stunning silver Julien Macdonald dress. The 30-year-old part-Mexican actress paired her exquisite dress with Jimmy Choo shoes. And, she finished her look with her very own House of Harlow bag.

Richie Launching a Fashion Collection for QVC…

The style-savvy Nicole Richie is preparing to expand her fashion empire.

“The line is cute—it can be worn by teeny-tiny girls but also goes up to size XXXL,” an insider tells Us. “Nicole has a great fashion sense, and she’s very hands-on.”

Richie already has two successful fashion lines, House of Harlow and Winter Kate. In 2009, the mother of two also teamed up with A Pea in the Pod to create a line of maternity clothing. And she’s set to launch her first-ever fragrance in September 2012.

Richie will reportedly launch her new QVC line in February to coincide with the premiere of NBC’s Fashion Star. Richie will serve as a mentor on the reality series that will search for the next big brand in fashion.

Eau de Nicole? Richie Launching Her Own Fragrance…

She’s become a style icon and acclaimed fashion designer… So it makes perfect scents that Nicole Richie is preparing to launch her first-ever fragrance.

The 30-year-old mother-of-two has signed a deal with TPR Holdings to launch her signature scent to be sold in department and specialty stores. The “cool, classy scent with an edge” is due to hit stores next September.

“[Nicole] has a wide breadth of creative talents being an author, a jewelry designer, a fashion designer and an aspirational figure,” Brian Robinson, president of TPR told Women’s Wear Daily. “She also has 3 million Twitter followers but more importantly she has trade credibility. She’s done a great job with her image.”

Richie, who rose to fame as Paris Hilton’s sidekick on the hit reality show, “The Simple Life,” which followed the two socialites as they struggled to do manual, low-paying work.

Since then, she’s her shed her bad-girl and become a red carpet superstar and successful entrepreneur. She’s launched a jewelry collection and clothing and accessories lines, written two books and starred in a variety of acting projects.
