BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Bold reds, shimmering metallics and vibrant floral hues blossomed on the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday, as the world's biggest stars shirked trends in favor of individual statements on one of the most watched Hollywood runways.

Red hues, sometimes avoided for being too similar to the red carpet, were represented in a variety of silhouettes, such as "American Hustle" best film comedy actress nominee Amy Adams in a plunging halter Valentino in homage to the 1970s style of the film, saying "I am kind of influenced by my character."

Newcomer Lupita Nyong'o, nominated for best supporting actress in a film for "12 Years a Slave," stunned fans with her fitted red Ralph Lauren gown with caped sleeves.
