Golden Globes: Tilda Swinton in Jil Sander

As soon as I saw Tilda Swinton's austere white and yellow dress at the Golden Globes, I immediately knew it was Jil Sander. The look- which may have actually been a long blouse tucked into a floor-length skirt- was so simple and understated that it couldn't have been designed by anyone but Raf Simons for Jil Sander.

Was this ensemble a hit or a miss, though? Ms. Swinton is certainly known for wearing unusual, unique pieces on and off the red carpet. There is no doubt that she can carry off this look, which few people could, so it definitely suits her. I just wonder if it was possibly too spartan for an awards show like the Golden Globes. Perhaps a short-sleeved Jil Sander ensemble, like the one Kate Bosworth recently wore, would have been a bit more fetching? I'm not sure. Maybe it's the balloon-shaped sleeves that made the dress feel awkward to me? At any rate, the fashion powers that be over at Vogue were smitten with the look, listing Tilda Swinton among the night's best dressed.

What is your impression of this look from Jil Sander?
