Sarah Michelle Gellar needs to add little Charlotte to her payroll!

The actress' 2-year-old daughter with Freddie Prinze, Jr. served as her stylist for the 69th Annual Golden Globes, Gellar told E! News co-host Giuliana Rancic. The Ringer star turned heads in a Monique Lhuillier gown, Jimmy Choo heels and Bulgari jewelry.

"It's funny -- I didn't try on that many dresses. They had them all lined up and I was working all week and my 2-year-old walked in, walked up this dress and said, 'Mama, wear this!'" Gellar, 34, recalled. "So I put it on and said, 'OK!"

"She really went for it," Gellar added. "She chose the bag and shoes. I let her pick all of it."

Gellar flew solo on the red carpet, as Prinze, her love of nearly 12 years, decided to stay home and "watch football."

"When you're a couple and you come to these things, people always say, 'Oh it's date night!' And you're like, 'Well, this is the worst date night I can possibly think of!" Gellar said, adding that her ideal night out includes a shared meal at iHop.

I don't understand all the negativity about this dress. I thought it was beautiful and one of the best if not the best dress of the night. Your daughter has great taste!

I think she pulled it off, not my fave gown but she looks beautiful, and the fact that her baby girl picked it out for her, why that's just priceless!

She was put on the worst dress list, I don't know why I actually like this dress. Like the color on her.

she looks like princess from a fairy tale, that's probably why her daughter chose that dress for her...

I love the dress! It's a bold move but she pulled it off... I think she looks great

So...am I the only SANE person here who actually likes the dress? You other commenters have no style...and it's sweet that she let her daughter be apart of this occasion.

Love SMG in the Monique Lhuillier dress and I have to say, if her daughter picked out the dress then she has GREAT taste! Did you know that Monique Lhuillier learned how to design at FIDM? That's pretty cool =)

Her kindness in allowing her daughter to be a part of the evening is so much more important than what she's wearing--but I like the blue tie-dye.

I actually think the dress is very pretty. Love the colors.
