Many of the female attendees at the 64th Golden Globe Awards chose beaded or metallic dresses, such as Beyoncé's solidly sequinned gold Elie Saab gown, with jewellery used sparingly, such as a single large diamond ring or a pair of hoop earrings. White gowns were another trend of the night. The "New York Times" noted that many stars had chosen big hairstyles, but praised those who wore their hair down.
