The stars were shining at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards, but everyone was back in black.
The 75th annual Golden Globes was a sea of black dresses and suits as A-listers used fashion to send the message that sexual misconduct in Hollywood and further afield won’t be tolerated.
The #TimesUp and #WhyWeWearBlack movements were the biggest conversation topics on the carpet while actors and artists watching-on added their voices to the protest.
Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Reece Witherspoon and many others joined the conversation on social media as the Golden Globes went into blackout mode.

I am wearing black today because balance and inclusion and diversity is not some kind of allowance to be made to accommodate people. No, sir. It is a correction of an error. It is a righting of a wrong. And it is going to be done. Now. #TimesUp pic.twitter.com/nVkhWubEwq

It’s #GoldenGlobes Sunday. Four years ago, at the Globes in 2014, Woody Allen was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement. Four years ago I decided enough was enough and wrote an open letter detailing the abuse I sustained at the hands of Woody Allen. /1
