All the Gorgeous Black Dresses Worn to Support #TimesUp at the Golden Globes

It’s not every year that a national protest encompasses a major awards show red carpet. So while we’re missing out on the crimson reds and cobalt blues this January, we do get to witness a historical moment of solidarity and empowerment (and maybe some creativity within the limit of wearing all black). Here are all the stunning interpretations of the #TimesUp gown protest.
