2018 GOLDEN GLOBES | #WHYWEWEARBLACK

by - 7:54 PM



Hello Everyone!

Last night saw all of Hollywood's biggest stars gather to celebrate this year's best in television and film. However, this year, women came together to make this event stand for much more than just fashion and entertainment. They created a movement. A movement protesting the pattern of abuse and sexual violence against women, not just in Hollywood, but everywhere. Hashtags like #TimesUp and #WhyWeWearBlack took over twitter and instagram in a show of support for all women who have been affected and women who have had the courage to speak up about the abuse they have endured for decades. Taking it a step further, almost everyone in attendance at the Golden Globes wore black in a show of solidarity, many even wearing pins with the movement's hashtag, Time's Up, displayed proudly. The theme continued throughout the night with moments like Natalie Portman's pointed announcement of the "all male" Best Director nominee's and Oprah's moving speech that had the internet calling for her to run for office in 2020. Overall, it was a night full of hope and of female empowerment.
The night also saw some incredible fashion. Below, in no particular order, I've complied my ten favorite looks:


First up, we have Millie Bobby Brown who looked incredible in Calvin Klein. She is such an amazing young girl and sometimes it's hard to believe she is only 13! Following her is Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace featuring very on-trend feather trimmed sleeves. Kerry Washington looked stunning in a sparkly Prabal Gurung strapless dress and a pair of gorgeous Roger Vivier mesh ankle boots that I cannot stop thinking about. Emilia Clarke served serious Khaleesi vibes in a strapless Miu Miu gown with a beautiful structured neckline. One of my personal favorite gowns of the night was Jessica Biel's Dior couture princess gown. 


Nicole Kidman's Givenchy dress was another personal favorite of mine (we all know I have a major weakness for Givenchy), as was her performance in Big Little Lies which she took Best Actress award home for. Dakota Johnson stunned in a black Gucci number that looked relatively simple from the front but was a beautifully embellished showstopper, reminiscent of a starry sky, from the back. Next, of course, we have Oprah who stole the show for more than just her dress. Last night Oprah became the first black woman to win the Cecil B. DeMill award. Her speech was incredibly moving and touched upon the theme of the night; #TimesUp and #MeToo. Another favorite of mine was Sarah Paulson, who was stunning as always in Calvin Klein. Finally, we have Catherine Zeta Jones in a beautifully embellished Zuhair Murad gown. 

Overall, last night's Golden Globes was full of female empowerment, activism, and a sense of rebirth in Hollywood. The incredible fashion was just a bonus.
