The 2018 Golden Globes ceremony looked different than it normally did. Actors and actresses were encouraged to wear black in support of fighting against sexual harassment for the Time's Up initiative. To shift the conversation towards finding a solution for sexual assault in Hollywood, eight actresses participating in black costume brought organisers and activists to the ceremony as their dates. Instead of focusing conversations solely on attire, the actresses and activists took their time on the red carpet to discuss organisations who create powerful change for women.
