Sandra Bullock broke up the cascading ruffles on her bordeaux Lanvin gown with an intricate, embellished belt that was as gorgeous as a necklace.

There was no trace of mousy Peggy when Elisabeth Moss made her rounds at the 2014 Golden Globe in a stunning Michael Kors gown that fit her like a glove. We love how this look turns the tables -- while her statement lip and vibrant gown are super bright, it's the black belt that really pops.

Naomie Harris' bold look at the 2014 BAFTA's proves that sometimes less is more. Though her sleeved Gucci dress steers clear of any patterns or layers of fabric, the low neckline, high slit and solid black belt create interesting lines for a look that's equal parts elegant and edgy.

Julie Deply took a risk at the 2014 Critics Choice Awards by stepping out in a rare tea length silhouette. The actress cinched the Romona Keveza dress with a bronze gold belt to enhance the shape and bring out the gold pumps peeking from the full skirt.

Mindy Kaling looked every bit the Greek goddess at the 2014 SAG awards. The touches of gold on her skinny belt and gold bracelets gave her draped gown by David Meister a flattering shape.
