Hollywood’s biggest and most talented stars made an elegant and powerful statement at the 75th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, stepping out in chic all-black ensembles in support of the Time’s Up initiative.
For this year’s celebration, women from all areas of the entertainment industry encouraged attendees to wear the dark tone as a way of expressing solidarity for victims of sexual harassment and misconduct in Hollywood.
The red carpet was full of black gowns, suits and jumpsuits, each uniquely styled to show off the celebrity’s distinctive personalities.
Stylist Erica Cloud told ET before the ceremony that we would see «a lot of variety” in the black outfits, adding that celebs would still incorporate their personal style into what they wear. “We’re all in this together, but we’re all different. I think overall it will be a beautiful scene.»
And a stunning scene it was, with many black outfits still standing out with the help of jaw-dropping jewels, exquisite details and delicate fabrics.
ET is rounding up the hottest trends that appeared on the all-black red carpet.

Men and women alike opted for the woven tufted fabric and softer feel. Sebastian Stan, Sterling K Brown, William H. Macy, Neil Patrick Harris and James Franco represented for the guys.
