Globes: Charlize Theron style watch

Theres a lot to look forward to when it comes to Sundays Golden Globes: the awards, the gags, the acceptance speeches. But my attention is firmly focused on the red carpet fashion, particularly because this year marks the return of Charlize Theron and her chic wardrobe.

While, in the past few years, stars like Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana, and Mila Kunis have owned the red carpet (and rightfully so), Charlize was the reigning fashionista back before they started topping best dressed lists left and right. And now, thanks to her performance in Young Adult, shes back and hopefully, ready to reclaim her title.

If you need a refresher of just how fabulous Charlize has proven to be on the red carpet, check out her bold Vera Wang gown from the 2000 Oscars or her shimmering Gucci number from the 2004 awards (both pictured below):

If you still doubt shes got what it takes to trump the newcomers in the game, check out her the chic black Azzedine Alaia gown, from the recent Critics Choice Awards (below).

Of course, I cant predict what shes going to wear on Sunday, but I wouldnt be surprised if it captured the old Hollywood feel she often evokes on the red carpet. Now, whether that classic style! will tr ump the more presumably modern looks from stars like Emma, Mila, and Zoe still remains to be seen. But Im pretty sure itll at least make the race for best-dressed a little tighter.

What about you?
