It’s no secret that we’re big on heart health here at Pür Minerals. So when everyone at our Atlanta office heard that today was National Wear Red Day, let’s just say we really took it to ‘heart.’ From heart-shaped headbands to red feather boas to freshly dyed auburn locks (that's right), everyone showed their spirit for a cause close to all our hearts.

The stars were shining last night, as the 69th Golden Globe Awards honored film and television’s best and brightest. And while the ceremony itself was fairly tame (barring the odd expletive from bad boy host Ricky Gervais), the red carpet run-up was anything but. Long considered the dress rehearsal for the Oscars, the Globes are where A-listers show off their more adventuresome—and questionable—tastes, and last night was no exception. Here’s your Golden Globe style sum-up—from the most stunning standouts to our favorite five-star fashion disasters.
The Good
The best of the best goes to Angelina Jolie, whose satin Atelier Versace gown harkened to Hollywood’s Golden Age. A splash of scarlet gave the ivory white number a pop of color which the actress perfectly paired in her lip color. Add the best accessory of all (Brad Pitt), and we have a winner.
The Bad
Alright, while maybe not a fashion catastrophe, Lea Michele’s chrome-treated Marchesa gown definitely flirted with disaster. The shiny, see-through piece looked like Britney Spears’ Toxic outfit met a Bedazzler. And with so much exposed, it’s lucky the Glee star didn’t suffer a costume malfunction.
The Unspeakable
“Dip dying” may sound more elegant than “tie-dying,” but it doesn’t erase its long and embarrassing history as the color choice of camp leaders and hippies worldwide. That didn’t stop Sarah Michele Gellar, however, from gracing the red carpet in a Smurf-blue gown that resembled a painter’s drop cloth.
The Angels are back! The annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs tonight at 10 p.m. on CBS. Since its inception in 1995, the star-studded event has become a holiday tradition, as synonymous with the season as Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or Black Friday, albeit, not without its share of controversy. Despite being criticized for commercialism and suggestive content, the program drew 9 million viewers last year alone and included performers Akon and Katy Perry, plus supermodel Adriana Lima in the $2 million Bombshell Fantasy Bra.
This year, the lingerie supershow ups the ante with the $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure Bra—an aqua push-up studded with over 3,000 precious stones, including white and yellow diamonds and pearls—as seen on Australian model Miranda Kerr. Guest performers will include Nicki Minaj, Maroon 5 and Kanye West, who will perform a song with Jay-Z off their “Watch the Throne” album.

We love it when we see members of the Pür family succeed. So when we heard that Annie Gunther, our youngest model, won the title of Teen Miss North Georgia State Fair 2012, we were thrilled. Annie, whose work can be seen throughout our website as well as in Dillard’s and ULTA stores, helped bring beauty—pür and simple to a whole new generation. In addition to modeling, Annie also interned with us over the summer, trading her natural creativity for invaluable insight into the beauty industry.
With her state fair win, Annie secured her bid for Miss Georgia Teen. The most prestigious title in the state, the competition brings together Georgia’s leading teen pageant contenders. From everyone on the Pür Minerals team, our hopes are with you, Annie. Good luck!
