At the Golden Globes, Hollywood Men Will Be Joining Actresses in Wearing All Black
During the last few months, the #MeToo movement has not just resurfaced but taken down powerful men in Hollywood. One of the first notable casualties, of course, was Harvey Weinstein back in October, whose downfall catalyzed a wave of damning allegations that have sunk other once-prestigious mens’ careers. Earlier this month, actresses announced that they’d be protesting sexual abuse and harassment in the industry by wearing all black to the Golden Globes, the first major award show of the new year, on January 7—and now actors are joining in.
People confirmed in mid-December that major actresses and female presenters, like Meryl Streep and Emma Stone, would wear black in solidarity with the #MeToo movement. But celebrity stylist Ilaria Urbinati posted on her Instagram account Saturday that all of her prominent male clients will be wearing black to the Golden Globes, too.
“Because everyone keeps asking me… YES, the men WILL be standing in solidarity with women on this wearing-all-black movement to protest against gender inequality at this year’s Golden Globes,” she wrote. “At least ALL MY GUYS will be. Safe to say this may not be the right time to choose to be the odd man out here… just sayin…”
Hear, hear.
One of her clients, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, formalized his participation by commenting, “Yes we will.” Urbinati also represents Tom Hiddleston and Call Me By Your Name actor and Best Supporting Actor nominee Armie Hammer.
Granted, women do have a lot more styles, shapes, and colors to work with on the red carpet than men, who generally stick to some iteration of a black tux. But the fact that these actors are publicly standing with their female counterparts is a decision worth noting.
