When I first started Cable Car Couture, we spotlighted modest fashion. Even though that thread has taken a backseat, I loved seeing these modest mavens on the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globes.

Typically I don’t care for much that Tilda wears on the red carpet. But this outfit was absolutely sensational! It has the perfect blend of yin and yang with the draping skirt and structured jacket. She pulled it off marvelously.

The architectural lines in the sleeves are modern and edgy and this blue couldn’t be better. Somehow with the exaggerated mermaid it is rather reminiscent of The Little Mermaid.

Laura Dern
Laura Dern looks like she came straight from the Emerald City in this sparkling gown! It certainly accentuates how long and lithe she is.













It is not modest. the dresses are showing their hips and are decollete.
Andrea, while the neckline on Laura Dern's dress is a little lower than I may be comfortable wearing, modesty is very subjective. You have your own definition of modesty just as I have mine. Did you see any dresses at the Golden Globes that you would consider modest?
