When Hollywood goes full black-tie, who kills it on the red carpet and who should be second-guessing their fashion decisions?
This Sunday at the 2018 Golden Globes, Hollywood decided to take a stand against sexual harassment and support the Time’s Up movement, which extends the focus on women marginalized due to their class, race, or sexuality. One of the initiative’s efforts was symbolic, with Golden Globes attendees wearing black on the red carpet. Here is a list of some who did black the best and those who needed a tad bit more effort.Reese Witherspoon (Best)

Love this simple look by Zac Posen from one of the founders of Time’s Up. Perfectly simple, but eye-catching at the same time. A huge step-up from her ensemble at the Emmys.
Debra Messing (Worst)

This look is a bit too frumpy. If it was tighter and the details had a more uniformed look, this dress would be one of the best.
Kerry Washington (Best)

Washington is perfectly styled in this sequined number. Her wavy hair and exquisitely detailed shoes make the edgy look work.
Emma Watson (Worst)

Very disappointed in this one. The cuts on the sleeves look like paper, and that isn’t a good thing. The neckline is also too serious.
Meryl Streep (Best)

Streep was giving all the Miranda Priestly vibes on the red carpet. This black ensemble is extremely form-fitting and classic. The neckline is also a great touch and makes it pop.
Jessica Biel (Worst)

I think Biel was trying to be innovative with this design, but it really falls flat. Extremely too much sheer. A big miss.
Tracee Ellis Ross (Best)

The head scarf makes this ensemble. Ross always knows how to use accessories to her advantage. Her makeup also has the perfect Egyptian goddess feel. 10/10.
Caitriona Balfe (Worst)

Not feeling this look at all. The straps are too constricting. The furry sleeve things are weird. It also looks like she can’t walk. But she made it down the red carpet, so what do I really know?
Claire Foy (Best)

THIS PANTSUIT IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN FOREVER.
Alexis Bledel (Worst)

Not really sure what to say about this one. This isn’t something I would pick for an awards show. Maybe it would be better without the leaves or whatever is on the top. The sheer shimmery belt should be in its place.
Saoirse Ronan (Best)

The Lady Bird starlet, who won for her portrayal, stuns in this number. The silver accents complement the gown and her short cut perfectly.
Dakota Johnson (Worst)

This is the perfect example of doing too much. The dress should’ve just be a simple black. But all of these different elements ruin it. The details really do not match and look like they belong on completely different dresses. Maybe just one would’ve worked, but not all of them.
Viola Davis (Best)

From the statement jewelry to the stylish afro, Davis knew she would be slaying the red carpet in this velvet ensemble.
