Natalie hasn’t done a red carpet since the Oscars last February, and tonight at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards she shined in a beautiful custom Lanvin dress that she accessorized with Harry Winston jewels. Last year Nat won the Best Actress award for her role in “Black Swan”, this year she presented the Best Actor award to winner George Clooney for The Descendants. It’s great to see Nat on the red carpet again! Check out first photos from the event in our gallery and watch a short red carpet interview feat. Rob Lowe and Natalie!
