It’s been a year since the Time’s Up movement sent Hollywood a powerful message via black dresses on the Golden Globes red carpet.
This year the organization’s TIMESUPx2 campaign has taken a different approach, opting for subtlety and downsizing its presence to a variety of accessories, including ribbons, bracelets and pins.
It’s not hard to sport a pin on a jacket lapel or a bracelet under a long sleeve — which Ryan Seacrest did and promptly raised some eyebrows — but it’s more of a challenge for gowns.
Mermaid gowns looked stranded without style on the red carpet at Sunday’s Golden Globes.
Of the favored silhouettes worn by celebrities at the 76th awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton, the one that clung to a woman’s torso and expanded dramatically with yards of fabric around the legs looked simply dated.
In red, the gown appeared to have been borrowed from the emoji flamenco dancer’s closet. Among the celebrities who took the risk of being turned into a meme were “The Americans” actress Holly Taylor in a scarlet halter style.
The sun is up and the stars are out at the Beverly Hilton for the 76th Golden Globe Awards.
Nominee Jim Carrey, hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, and Ryan Seacrest are among the stars hitting the red carpet early ahead of the ceremony’s 5 p.m. start.

Michelle Yeoh had fans seeing green on Sunday’s red carpet for the Golden Globes. The actress wore her now-famous “Crazy Rich Asians” engagement ring to the 76th annual ceremony.
Part of Yeoh’s personal collection, the emerald-and-diamond ring played a pivotal role in the Golden Globe-nominated rom-com where it was introduced as Eleanor’s (Yeoh) engagement ring.
Yeoh previously told The Times that she planned to wear the accessory because “the ring is so much a character in the film.”
There’s no better oracle for beauty trends at this year’s Golden Globes than Charlotte Tilbury.
Dubbed the Queen of Glow and tasked with finessing Penelope Cruz’s photogenic face for Sunday’s 76th awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton, the British makeup artist predicts a parade of glossy lips, enhanced with a glassy glow on the skin, on the red carpet.
“For me, this year is all about incredible, beautiful textures,” Tilbury said in an email. (She spearheaded the makeup on the models in Peter Dundas’ fashion show Saturday night and prepped Cruz, who is nominated for her supporting role in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” for the Globes on Sunday.) “Gorgeous, glowing, magic-goddess skin is never not on trend when it comes to the red carpet. But this year, for me, it is all about perfectly spa-cleansed, flawless, poreless, fresh skin.”
From onstage at Saturday’s Community Organized Relief Effort gala at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, host Sean Penn cited two cardinal rules of fundraising, starting with, “Don’t bum out the crowd.”
After ticking off the world’s challenges, including Russia’s hyper-sonic nuclear weapons, leaders who politicize the global economy, a rapidly changing climate, plus lies, greed, rage, sexism, racism and a drug epidemic, he said, “I know I’ve broken rule No. 1.”
The two-time Oscar-winning actor, however, delivered on his second rule, that of creating “an encouragement of optimism and solutions — that we in this theater may participate in a shift to better days.”

So many guests at Saturday’s star-studded BAFTA tea party at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles crowded in to greet “Mary Poppins Returns” star and Golden Globes contender Emily Blunt and her husband, actor-writer-director John Krasinski, that a jam-up occurred in the doorway to the party venue. As the power couple inched into the room, Rob Marshall, director of Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns,” closed in for a hug.
Nominee Regina King remained outside the ballroom for a while, avoiding the crush. Nominated for “If Beale Street Could Talk” and “Seven Seconds,” the actress told us, “They’re totally different roles … and yet they’re similar because they both deal with women that are dealing with systemic issues in America.… I just feel lucky that they both happen to fall in the same year — as one shines light on the other.”
Inside and outside the main ballroom, star power defined this shindig.
When Debra Messing approached the E! network on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last year, she had an agenda. It wasn’t to wax rhapsodic about her “Will & Grace” costars or show off the black gown she was wearing.
She wanted to talk about the new organization she had joined, Time’s Up. She wanted to express her belief in diversity and gender parity in the workplace. And she wanted to call out the very network she was appearing on for allegedly not paying its male and female hosts equally.
“I was so shocked to hear that E! doesn’t believe in paying their female co-hosts the same as their male co-hosts,” Messing said, referring to Catt Sadler, the anchor who had said a month prior she was quitting her job at the network due to an unfair pay gap.
At W’s party Friday to celebrate the Golden Globes and the launch of the magazine’s best performances portfolio insert, editor in chief Stefano Tonchi called Nicole Kidman “one of our great, great collaborators,” given her appearance on so many covers over the years, including one of the seven for the upcoming issue.
A Golden Globe nominee for “Destroyer,” in which Kidman is barely recognizable, the actress chatted with fellow guests with a sense of glamour that’s a far cry from her look in the haunting film.
“I’m a mess,” Kidman said with a laugh, referring to the guilt-ridden, disturbed police officer she plays. “I’m still carrying the weight on my back.”
