Tonight's Golden Globe Awards marked the start of Awards Season! A new year, new nominees, and a new social and political fire in the belly of Hollywood's most influential. In light of the #MeToo Movement, hundreds of women in entertainment created #TimesUp, a detailed plan to combat disparity and sexual harassment across all industries. The Golden Globes were a perfect opportunity to spotlight this campaign via wearing black in solidarity. This fashion blackout created a parade of pure power on the red carpet.
Zoe Kravitz chose a simple yet supremely elegant Saint Laurent column dress.
Prada created Diane Kruger's layered tulle confection, featuring black Swiss dots and a cascading shawl for regal effect.
Catherine Zeta-Jones wore a long-sleeved gown with the romantic sheer and lace overlays that Zuhair Murad is known for.
One of my best dressed of the night, Kerry Washington looked chic in Prabal Gurung's strapless sequin number. The high slit showed off her edgy Roger Vivier ankle boots.
Another favorite, Dakota Johnson, chose a stunning Gucci dress featuring a shimmering black train joining the gown in a dramatic array of sparkling jewels.
Costume designer and stylist Arianne Phillips created a special #TimesUp pin for nominees and male presenters as well.
In retrospect (and in the spirit of New Years reflections), 2017 was all about speaking up in fashion, with the rise of trends like statement tees; while 2018 is focused on putting everything into action. The hashtag shift even reflects this notion: #MeToo (gaining a voice) and #TimesUp (ending the injustices). What a moving way for Hollywood to organize using fashion to shed light on this important initiative.
