Even a drenching downpour couldn’t dampen the celebratory spirit of the stars who walked the red carpet at the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards, held last night at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

Umbrellas seemed to be the accessory of choice for many stars—to protect perfectly-made coifs and stylish ensembles. Several starlets opted for homegrown designs, and a handful of West Coast designers outfitted celebs for the award ceremony and afterparties.
