like trying to dress the Empire State Building...

...which is the challenge for the stylist who glams up Christina Hendricks for the red carpet, according to my husband.

Tall, magnificently hourglass, pale skinned and carrot-topped. Maybe it's easier to dress a size 0 suntanned blonde, but not half as much fun!



Her gown for the Golden Globes was definitely eye catching - knock 'em dead RED and a proper nod to Mae West in its skin-tightness.



But the ruffle on her shoulder? Bless her, the last thing she needs above her tiny waistline is more volume. Combined with the soft mussed up hairstyle, it was all too busy and suffocating around her face, which is quite small and delicate. The final effect was top heavy and disproportionate and it was all because of the clothes, not her figure.

Because when she keeps it streamlined, she looks AMAZING. But ya know, having said all that, she is an emphatically stunning poster girl for voluptuous women and redheads everywhere, no matter what she wears.
