Believe it or not, but I did not watch the Red Carpet shows for the 2017 Golden Globes. I wanted to be surprised by the looks of some of my favorite actresses and celebrities. The color spectrum was fabulous, as always. Some actresses played it safe, while others took a daring chance and it paid off for them. Here are 21 of my favorite looks of the 2017 Golden Globes.
