The guests at the ceremony came in dark clothes to protest against the many cases of S- abuse that has occurred in Hollywood. However, some did not respect the dress code that was part of the "Time's Up" campaign.
The 75th edition of the Golden Globe Awards was a historic ceremony for women. The reason? The artistic community put glamor aside and dressed in black to protest against the S- abuse that many famous people have suffered in Hollywood.
In this way, the actresses said enough about the abuse of power and workplace harassment. As part of a campaign to make this problem visible, some celebrities wore pins on their dresses or suits with the legends Me Too (Me too) and Time's Up (Time is running out), an initiative promoted by Reese Witherspoon, Alyssa Milano, Maggie Gyllenhaal and other artists, who raise funds to help women and men who have been S- harassed, assaulted or abused in their jobs.
But, not all the guests respected the dress code at the gala, such as the German model and actress Barbara Meier, who chose to wear an embroidered dress with a floral print and a pastel-toned feather train.
"Many women today will be wearing black on the red carpet as part of the Time's Up movement. I think this initiative is generally great and extremely important," she wrote on her Instagram account. "However, I have decided to wear a colorful dress today," added the model, for whom compromising fashion as a form of expression is not the best way to manifest. "We have fought for a long time for this freedom, to be able to wear what we want, and to dress S-. If we restrict that because some men can't control themselves, we are taking a step backward in my opinion," she said.
In addition, Blanca Blanco, interpreter of Torch, put on a red velvet dress with an asymmetrical cut, with a semi-open sleeve and a side slit. After receiving a lot of criticism on social networks, she came out to defend herself on her Twitter account: "The situation is more important than my dress #TimesUp."
On the other hand, Meher Tatna, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, chose to wear a red dress with embroidery and a matching long jacket for the awards ceremony. Also, she wore a pin to support the Time's Up initiative.
She decided to use a festive color during the gala because it is customary to do so within the framework of the customs of her Indian culture. During her speech, she announced that they will invest two million euros in scholarships for investigative journalists who fight against abuse.
