The 2010 Awards season kicked off yesterday evening with the Golden Globe Awards. As usual the red carpet did not disappoint. Below are some of the top trends we saw on the red carpet, and the best looks out of those trends. Get ready to marvel at the beauty, we know we did.

Neutral Dresses

Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano, Maggie Gyllenhaal in RM Roland Mouret, and Drew Barrymore in Atelier Versace proved that although fair in color neutral and rosy fabrics can be red hot. With their soft hues these dresses more easily get their dramatic flair from draping, origami-like folds, and modern embellishments.

Beaded and Shimmery Gowns

These ladies didn’t need the dresses to shine, but the beads and shimmer certainly didn’t hurt. Olivia Wilde in Gucci, Jenifer Garner in  Versace, and Toni Collette in Elie Saab all proved that a little shine can be very glamorous. Not only do we love the necklines on these dresses, we also admire the chic detailing and designs on each gown.

Volume

Whether it was a full skirt like Lea Michele’s (far right) Oscar de la Renta gown with tulle, or smaller detailing like the ruffled bodice of  Diane Kruger’s (middle) Christian Lacroix Haute  Couture gown, we saw volume popping up all over the Globes red carpet. Penelope Cruz went the middle of the road in volume with a beautifully intricate Giorgio Armani Prive lace gown with a tiered bottom.

With all lovely gowns we saw last night, we can’t wait to see what the SAG Awards and Oscars will bring.

Olivia Wilde, Jayma Mays, Terri Seymour walked the blue carpet at the Fox All-Star Party in sleek classic looks Monday night. We love that all three looks could easily work on and off the red carpet with ease. One lesson learned from the ladies above: If you wear a solid look you can take the liberty of wearing a strappy, print, or textured shoe to spice it up a bit.

We’re so used to long gowns at the red carpet that we relish the times that call for more casual looks. The People’s Choice Awards is just the awards show to showcase short sexy frocks, and the celebs above did not disappoint.

Carrie Underwood dazzled us with her Christian Cota dress and Rock & Republic sandals, while Dania Ramirez wooed us with her fuchsia cocktail dress with an ornate twisted bodice. Ginnfer Goodwin surprised us with a frilly black and white dress, and Diane Kruger kept it sleek and simple in a Herve Leger by Max Azria bandage dress and Emilio Pucci gladiator sandals.

All in all the looks were short, sweet, and sassy!

Mariah Carey, Anna Kendrick, and Marion Cotillard lit up the red carpet at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in fabulous frocks that were both chic and feminine. Mariah showed off her curves in a sultry in a Herve Leger gown and bolero, Anna looked sweet in a tiered J. Mendel dress, and Marion went sleek in a one-shouldered Elie Saab cocktail dress.

Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie showed why they are two of the hottest moms in Hollywood Thursday night, as they hosted a New Year’s Eve party at TAO and LAVO in Las Vegas. Christina took the sexy route in a spaghetti strap sparkly LBD and embellished pumps, while Nicole spiced things up in a shimmering gold mini dress, opaque tights, and platform pumps.
