Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Zooey Deschanel's Golden Globes look
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The hair/make-up
Gemma Hayward: Ever the lover of a quirky manicure, Zooey chose to decorate her nails with a film strip and camera motif. Fingers crossed for Elf talons next!
Hugh Montgomery: We're less drawn to the hair/make-up than the mardy look in her eye: throw in a hand-on-hip slouch, and she is the very model of a hipster in a ballgown.
The bag
Gemma: What every girl should carry with her ball-gown – a giant fruit pastille.
Hugh: You say pastille, we say sparkly jellybean. Looks great, even if you just know it's going to taste of watermelon…
The necklace
Gemma: You simply can't make a comment about a girl wearing a pearl necklace without sounding smutty, can you?
Hugh: The requisite red-carpet signifier of old-school Hollywood, their hypnotic twinkle causing all who gaze upon them to forget New Girl for a sec.
The dress
Gemma: There is a sensible head sitting on those petite shoulders. Not only does this red Oscar de la Renta gown match the carpet, it's so unassuming that she'll be able to wear it next year, too. Thrifty.
Hugh: This runs directly counter to our established rule that taffeta is wrong. Except when tripping off the tongue.
