Madonna seemed to channel herself at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, wearing black, a cross pendant and fingerless gloves. The look was softened by her loose waves, which our Melissa Magsaysay explains how to achieve in another post. But the singer and actress made it clear the night wasn't all about her, walking the red carpet with Andrea Riseborough, the star of "W.E.," the new film about Wallis Simpson that Madonna directed and co-produced -- and making sure her star got plenty of the limelight too.
