Zooey Deschanel, nominated for The New Girl, stunned in a black custom Prada dress with sparkling emerald green beaded detail at the top, while Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara rocked a sapphire Vera Wang gown. Even third-time host Ricky Gervais was caught up in the theme of jewel tones as he shines in a ruby red suit. Maria Menounos’ eye-popping frock is a perfect shade of citrine, while Nicole Richie’s diamond Julien Macdonald dress shined bright as well. Johnny Depp and Melissa McCarthy join Zooey in wearing emerald green, as Johnny wears a sharp green suit and Melissa wears a Badgley Mischka dress. Several other ladies on the 2012 Golden Globe red carpet cover the amethyst-quartz purple end of the spectrum.
