After taking in all the red carpet looks at tonight’s 2014 People’s Choice Awards, the verdict is clear: sometimes keeping things simple is the way to go. Case in point: Jessica Alba. She looked perfectly polished in an understated white strapless Jason Wu dress. Another winner? Allison Williams. The Girls star looked stunning in a cobalt blue belted David Koma dress that showed just the right amount of skin.
Jennifer Hudson also took the simple route and went with a curve-hugging, white hot number that allowed her bright pink lip to pop. So far, so fabulous! So where did things get a little, um, tricky? Well, there were a lot of dizzying prints on the red carpet and not all of them wowed.
Most of the floral numbers fell flat, like Melissa Joan Hart’s rose-printed, coral and gold metallic hi-low strapless gown just had way too much going on. And while we like that Heidi Klum took a risk with a plunging neckline, the floral print and shoulder detailing made her Armani dress feel too overworked.
Our takeaway? It’s January, people! Save the flowers for springtime.
