Golden Globes 2012: Doing the Do

Hairstyles come in waves.

Waves were the biggest thing on the red carpet at the Golden Globes this year.

Oh, and there was big hair, too.

Regardless of style, however, there was a common theme that clipped them all together – movement. Of course, with all the hair spray that was used that night, the hair didn’t move – but it looked like it could have.

Here’s a virtual walk through the salon. Get your own cappuccino and air kiss the person next to you, before beginning.

1 Sofia Vergara's sleek side style at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Sofia Vergara kept it sleek but not stiff - and that side sweep does the job of a necklace, with a strapless dress.
2 Jessica Chastain's hairstyle - front view at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
I didn't love Jessica Chastain's Givenchy dress, but I thought her hair was the perfect balance between done and natural.

It looked great from behind, also.
4 Zooey Deschanel's big 60s pouf at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
This is what I mean by acting your age. I loved that Zoeey Deschanel went for it, with a big 60s 'do and makeup. She didn't dress like a 50 year-old.
5 Salma Hayek's big curls at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Hayek wore a Gucci disco-inspired dress and completed the look with Studio 54 hair. I'd love to try this big hair. And I have a gold dress...
6 Laura Dern's curls at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Loved how Laura Dern's soft curls offset her bottle-shaped Andrew Gn dress.
7 Andrea Riseborough's wavy locks at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Andrea Riseborough's Renaissance-y curls matched the historic references in her Westwood dress.
8 Diane Lane and Josh Brolin sleek hair at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Old-world Hollywood couple, Diane Lane and Josh Brolin kept things classic.
9 Julie Bowen's retro waves at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Julie Bowen should have gotten the Golden Globe that night for best transformation. She looked lovely and feminine and the hair suited her so much, don't you think?
10 Dianna Agron's updo at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Dianna Agron's whole ensemble that night was simply, a work of art. She was one of my picks for best-dressed.
11 Kate Winslet's loose updo at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Ms. Winslet's soft locks seemed to belong to one of her many Victorian heroines.
12 Charlize Theron's updo and headband at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
The dress had far too much going on, but I loved Charlize's soft updo and diamond headband.
13 Helen Mirren's updo at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Sophisticated, without being austere, Ms. Mirren is chic in a chignon.
14 Rooney Mara's sleek ponytail at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Rooney Mara stays true to her sleek pony. It shows off her cheekbones so perfectly, after all.
15 Tilda Swinton's Tousled locks at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
Then there are those, who march to the beat of their own drum - in another land, far, far away. Ms. Swinton, doing what only she knows how to do.
16 Rob Lowe's hair at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards on Exshoesme.com
How does this man do it? He looks better and better each time I see him. The perfect scruff on his face and the perfect tousled strands atop his head...and the most perfect blue eyes...
