Red Dresses at Golden Globes 2013 | Pictures

The saying "paint the town red" certainly applied to the Golden Globes red carpet, where the sultry color made a strong resurgence on Hollywood's A-list set. And just like you might expect, these gowns are the kind that appeal to a sexy, classic, and statement-making sensibility. From Claire Dane's cherry-red Versace gown and Jennifer Lawrence's strapless Dior Couture creation (we're still in awe) to Miranda Kerr's berry-hued Zuhair Murad dress and Jennifer Garner's sparkling Vivienne Westwood couture number, you'd have to agree: the common denominator here is siren dressing. The color red — and its equally gorgeous sister shades of burgundy and deep plum — denotes passion, fire, attitude, and general hotness, and you've got to be seriously confident to work that hue with the matching fierceness it deserves. That's why this trend stands out and why each of these starlets deserve some red-carpet recognition. Herein find the red-hot red-carpet red-dress trend in full.
