Mermaid gowns made such a huge splash at the 70th Golden Globe Awards held on January 13, 2013, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. We wouldn’t be surprised to see them again at the Oscars, although it would be pretty difficult to top this glamorous lot of gowns.

Below are our favorite mermaid gown appearances on the Golden Globes red carpet!

1. Taylor Swift in Donna Karan Atelier

Pop singer/songwriter Taylor Swift looked spectacular in this burgundy Donna Karan Atelier gown. She even had her signature bangs swept up and tucked away. Breakups never faze her, do they?

Unfortunately for her, the two funniest ladies in showbiz were hosting (Tina Fey and Amy Poehler), and an unforgettable moment was when Fey told her to “stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son.”

2. Kelly Osbourne in Zac Posen

Kelly Osbourne’s edgy style found the perfect gown pairing in Zac Posen’s architectural mermaid gown.

Green teardrop earrings prettily set off her purple side-swept hair and surprisingly jive with the delicate, sweetheart neckline. She certainly proves her place as a fashion police.
