Best dressed Jennifer Lopez dazzles in a daring backless gown at the Golden Globes (but still no wedding ring)
Jennifer Lopez ruled the red carpet as Hollywood's biggest and most beautiful stars donned their finest for the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills last night.
The singer, who was the opening presenter of the night, dazzled in a daring plunge V-neck, gold-bead gown by Marchesa that cut away at the back.
She put on a show of unity with husband Marc Anthony in an apparent effort to silence rumours of martial woes between the high-profile couple, who welcomed twins less than a year ago.
However there was one notable item missing from her impressive collection of Lorraine Schwartz jewels - her wedding ring.

Elsewhere on the red carpet there were lots of hues of ocean blues, tropical shades and sandy neutrals, strapless corset-style gowns, one-shoulder numbers and a little glitz thrown in.
