There is so much inspiration to be pulled from the red carpet, and last night proved even more so with the Golden Globes fashion parade.

There were many dominating trends: dramatic backs, sleeves (A Utah fav/must-have), bold Valentine colors (red/pink), nudes and neutrals.

It was a tough task narrowing down our favorites to an acceptable blog post length, so indulge in a few of our top choices:

Claire Danes in J. Mendel -  The modern simplicity and stunning low back

Laura Dern in Andrew Gn – The cut and color are timeless

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture – Sexy, stylish, and soft all in one

Dame Helen Mirren in Badgley Mischka – We pretty much love everything here

Emma Stone in Lanvin – Fashion-forward and perfectly worn.

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace – Simplicity that is bold, rare and classic.

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci – The complexity of this gown is unreal

Michelle Williams in Jason Wu – Simplicity mixed with luscious fabric won us over

Salma Heyak in Gucci – She was a standout proving the geometry is sexy
