    Hmm. All we can say is that this brown, sheer, flouncy, fussy thing -- with its crochet bra top and curious diamond-esque neck thing -- does not adhere to Goop-ish minimalism. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images)

    Did Cate Blanchett's designer steal the bra that Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia had to wear when she was Jabba the Hut's prisoner -- and combine it with a butter-yellow Japanese lamp? Sure, why not? (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images)

    Scarlett Johansson's dress looks like it was about to fall off -- whether or not that was the case -- as her designer attempted to make it look like she was baring more cleavage than she was. The effect on an otherwise beautifally elegant design was distracting. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

    Maybe it's because she didn't get a best director nomination for "Little Women," but Greta Gerwig doesn't look like she's having much fun, as she stands with her partner and fellow director, Noah Baumbauch, whose "Marriage Story" is at least nominated for best drama. Gerwig's black column dress makes her look pale and dour. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Even though neon greens, bright marigold yellows and ’80s glitz have been turning up on the fashion runways for 2020, many of the female stars initially arriving for the 77th Golden Globe Awards have been sticking to classic black.

Did we not get a memo? Of course, black can be sleek, sexy, elegant or all three, but only when the design is gorgeous and makes the wearer feel and look gorgeous. Sigh, things didn’t quite work out with these ladies.

Meanwhile, women and men who experimented with brighter colors also struggled to get things right and ended up looking underwhelming at best, silly at worst. And yes, we’re looking at you, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron and other usually acclaimed fashion divas.

But if you want to check out some stars who got things right, our Best Dressed gallery is here.
