Pretty in Purple

A bevy of Hollywood beauties made a united front for earthtones on the Golden Globes carpet, showing out in strong numbers sporting purple.

Miss Golden Globe 2009, aka Rumer Willis, came in a layered confection with a tight bodice, thin black belting and topped with simple diamond earrings.

Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere looked gorgeous in grape as well, showing a bejeweled strapless top and a gauzy full-length skirt.

Also, making a nice return to the red carpet is Oscar winner Anna Paquin, looking simple and chic in attendance for her campy HBO hit True Blood.
