Trend Report Tuesday: Golden Globes 2018 Red Carpet Recap

On Sunday, January 7, 2018, Seth Meyers hosted the 75th Golden Globes Awards at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The Golden Globes recognizes the best in the film and American television industry of this past year, 2017. You can find the complete list of winners from Sunday’s 75th Golden Globes Awards here.   

Some of the hottest and most glamorous in Hollywood showed up for this award show in a stunning – and bold – manner. This red carpet was rather memorable as actors and actresses took over the red carpet dressed in black standing up for the #TimesUp movement. This movement focuses on the present day issue of sexual assault, harassment and inequality in the workplace and uses the slogan “Times Up” to start putting the foot down and do something about it. The Golden Globes was flooded with supporters of this movement and truly brought it to attention. Hollywood showed up wearing black in solidarity to the Times Up movement – and everything about the night was absolutely fabulous.

The red carpet was full of intense energy and killer gowns. Although the fashion atmosphere was alike, there were so many stars who dominated the all-black fashion and Downtown can’t get enough of our best-dressed list. Bravo ladies, for standing up for a better world and in a stylish demeanor.

Here are our favorite looks from Sunday night’s award ceremony red carpet.

Chic in Red on the Runway

The red dress has always been a staple for the modern, independent woman. Confident and committed, a woman in a red dress exudes a sexiness when she walks into a room.

This season, we are seeing red everywhere. The trend is bold, flirty, but yet soft. Red Grecian dresses with plenty of pleating, and bold reds with soft cutouts–a must have for the modern women, who have it all!

Be sure to add red to your wardrobe this season. These are some of our favorite red looks from the runway.
