Every Dress at the Golden Globes Might Be Black — For a Good Reason
Will actresses band together to make a powerful statement?
The red carpet for 2018's Golden Globes might look radically different than any other year in the show's existence, but then again, this hasn't been an ordinary year in Hollywood. As a sign of protest against rampant sexual harassment in the entertainment industry, People magazine reports that actresses are banding together by planning to wear all-black looks to the award show.
“All female actresses attending the Globes are protesting by just wearing black gowns,” a source told the magazine.
That reportedly includes big-name stars up for awards along with those presenting. Jessica Chastain, Meryl Streep, Margot Robbie, Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Michelle Williams, Mary J. Blige, Octavia Spencer, and Emma Stone are all nominated for this year's Golden Globes.
This all-black dress protest might extend throughout awards seasons too, according to People's sources. Women in Hollywood are already bravely telling their stories as the #MeToo movement continues to expose perpetrators of sexual harassment and assault. But if the red carpet is a sea of black dresses this award season, it would be a powerful reminder that fashion can make a statement too.
