It's good!

The peach-colored gown Christina Hendricks wore to the Golden Globes ceremony last week was the subject of some serious scrutiny, most notably Cathy Horyn's New York Times critique. ("As one stylist said, 'You don't put a big girl in a big dress.'")

The color of the Christian Siriano-designed gown suited Ms. Hendricks' milky white skin and gorgeous red hair, but the rest of it was a disappointment. The bodice didn't appear to fit her properly, and the large ruffles that extended from her torso to her knees were distracting and deemphasized her tiny waist.

However, Hendricks scored major fashion points for the crimson Carolina Herrera gown she wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony last night. It hugged her curves (in the best way) and the asymmetrical neckline, capped with a large bow, added visual interest.

What do you think of the SAG gown? Do you think the criticism of her Golden Globes gown was particularly harsh? (For the record, I think the comment about Hendricks being a "big girl" is ridiculous. She's curvy. And, no, that is not code for "fat.")
