Golden Globe Awards Red carpet Roundup


Golden Globe 2016


The stars certainly shined on this year’s Golden Globes red carpet. There were several show-stopping gowns as celebs really lived up to the old “go big or go home” mantra during award show season. Color was trending as vibrant shades of red, green, blue, pink, yellow and even orange lit up the evening. Not to be outdone, neutrals found a way to stand out in the form of striking minimalist silhouettes. Sparkling embellishments amped up quite a few looks and some stars incorporated a bit of bling to turn up the wattage to unprecedented heights. The devil really was in the details as everything from cut-outs to sheer accents to exaggerated ruffles and one outstanding draped capelet helped celebs make a statement. See all the looks from the 2016 Golden Globe Awards red carpet above.

Before and After: 23 Famous People Who Had Cosmetic Dentistry


When you think of Tom Cruise, you think of his great smile: big white teeth in perfect alignment, a grin that dazzles you again and again. It might surprise you to know that one of Hollywood’s biggest stars didn’t always have that million-dollar mug. Cruise is one of many celebrities who’ve gone to a cosmetic dentist to change the appearance of their teeth.

Cruise wisely got his cosmetic dentistry procedures done early in his career. You probably don’t even remember him without those signature choppers. Great-looking teeth are very important for actors, singers, politicians and even athletes.

Their faces are part of the product they are selling. Whether they’re running for mayor of Peoria or trying to land a starring role in a film, it’s important to have a memorable, trustworthy smile in their fields of work. Without great teeth, you simply can’t pull that off.

Dior, Secret Garden Versailles


Filmed in Versailles by fashion image masters Inez and Vinoodh, Dior's latest film, Secret Garden, features models Daria Strokous, Melissa Stasiuk, and Xiao Wen Ju running like mad through the breathtaking hallways and gardens of the famed chateau. It's finally here — and it's totally gorgeous. Dressed (and at times also slightly undressed) in the label's pre-Fall 2012 collection, the girls are the picture of elegance, while Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" provides the perfect, haunting soundtrack.


Christian Dior made direct reference to the palace in several of his first collections, and in 1955 even created an embroidery thread which he dubbed the "Versailles gold braid." This isn't the first time the iconic label has used Versailles as inspiration.  In 2007, the house's then designer John Galliano staged the label's 60th anniversary couture show in the palace's Orangerie. More recently, the 2011 Dior J'adore fragrance ad starring Charlize Theron was filmed by Jean-Jacques Annaud in the castle's storied Hall of Mirrors.
