"Don&amp;#x27;t forget, dolls: the Golden Globes are on this Sunday, January 11th. We&amp;#x27;ll be live blogging about our favorite dresses, of course, so don&amp;#x27;t forget to log on...but in the meantime, WWD has a little insight into what you can expect, and it sounds to me like a lot of black dresses. A few weeks ago, when the nominees were announced, I made my predictions--check them out here!--but it seems like things are going to be &amp;quot;a bit more low key than usual,&amp;quot; as WWD tells it. &amp;quot;Showiness is expected to be pass?\uFFFD,&amp;quot; the paper says. The jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, who normally decks the stars in thousands of carats of bling, says &amp;quot;It&amp;amp;#8217;s not about a 200-karat necklace.&amp;amp;#8221; They also say that, &amp;quot;People will be elegant, but not over the top,&amp;quot; which translates for me as &amp;quot;There are going to be a lot of boring black dresses.&amp;quot; Experts say the hair and makeup will be similarly downgraded (think simple chignons and French twists), and the days of the indulgent swag suites seem to be far behind us, too. I&amp;#x27;m all for being deferential in this economic crisis, but I also think fashion should be a form of escapism, and I&amp;#x27;d hate to see the red carpet, normally known for its glitter and glitz, suffer because of it. What do you guys think? Do you mind that the Golden Globes will be lacking in glamour this year? Will you still tune in? Photos: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
