Double-Take: Jane Lynch, The Other "Black Swan"?

Is it just me, or did Jane Lynch's Ali Rahimi gown that she wore last night to the 2011 Golden Globes seem to echo the Marchesa gown that Kim Kardashian wore to the 2010 Emmy Awards back in August?

Though one was white with gold detailing and the other was completely black, the overall silhouette seems to be identical, with a few minor differences in each (such as the thin belt around Lynch's waist and the extra row around Kardashian's neck.)

The thing that really caught my eye and drew me to the similarity of the two is the Greco-Egyptian draping and styling around the neck. The fabric of both dresses is draped asymmetrically at the neck and pulled and wrapped through the collar, channeling Cleopatra in overall look.

Not identical (but EXTREMELY similar) necklines and detailing.












I don't believe that these two will be in any "Who Wore it Better" debates anytime soon, but I would have to go with Kim's version as the better if I had to choose. There's no upstaging an original, or a Kadashian for that matter, especially when it comes to fashion.

Golden Globes as Styled by Dustin Enrique Larsen

If I were to choose the winners for the Golden Globes tonight and their winning looks, they would be as follows: 

Prima Portman 
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama: Natalie Portman

The above evening gown from Oscar de la Renta's Spring/Summer RTW 2011 collection would be the perfect high fashion and chic twist on Portman's nominated prima ballerina role from Black Swan.



Emma Makes it Easy
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical: Emma Stone

Another look from Oscar de la Renta's line would give Emma Stone the sexy, sassy and chic runway look that her characters are best known for. The silhouette would accentuate Stone's gorgeous figure, and the detailing would keep the overall look classy.

Amazing Amy
Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture: Amy Adams

Amy Adams has made a name for herself as a very versatile actress. The above cocktail dress from Jason Wu's Spring/Summer RTW 2011 collection would be an excellent opportunity to show off her versatility in fashion as well. The carefree and light silhouette and color of the dress is a contrast to the grittiness of the drama The Fighter for which she is nominated for. The color is also a compliment to her hair and skin tone.

United States of Toni 
Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series - Drama: Toni Collette

Toni Collette has such a gorgeous and athletic figure that this gown from Marchesa's Spring/Summer RTW 2011 collection would compliment that beautifully. Her strong/athletic yet feminine shoulders would be accentuated by the asymmetrical neckline and the flowing drapery of the gown would make her glide into the best dressed of the night.
