Although the red carpet at this year’s BAFTA Awards was less colourful than normal, it was much more vibrant and interesting. With the same agenda of the Golden Globes, women in the film industry were called on to wear black. With the aim of using their power as communicators and connectors to shift the way society sees and treats them.
This fashion and social statement brought solidarity to the red carpet among women and a few exceptional men. They did this to support the #TimesUp movement in the fight for equality. As well as a protest against sexual allegations sweeping through the entertainment industry.
