- Actresses and actors wore black to the Golden Globes this year.
- The action was a statement against sexual misconduct and show support for the Time's Up initiative.
- There were three women, however, who wore colorful gowns to the event.
The 2018 Golden Globes' red carpet was different this year, to say the least. Rather than a rainbow of dresses, we saw, as Meryl Streep put it, "a thick black line" dividing past misconduct from future equality.
Prior to Sunday's award show, actresses decided to wear black to the Golden Globes to make a statement against sexual misconduct and show support for the Time's Up initiative against sexual harassment, abuse, and discrimination in the workplace. Their male counterparts also joined the protest, showing that Hollywood is at least attempting to move forward.
It seems, however, there were a few women who didn't get the memo. Or, perhaps, chose not to participate in the silent protest. In a sea of black, these three women stood out for their colorful attire.
Barbara Meier
The 31-year-old model showed up the Golden Globes wearing one of the most elaborate dresses of the night. A mixture of grays, blues, whites, and pinks, the glittery number stood out among the simple black gowns. She attended the event with Austrian investor Klemens Hallmann.
Blanca Blanco
The 36-year-old actress showed up wearing a flaming red dress. Not only did this outfit stand out for the color, but for the skin-revealing slit and cut outs.
Meher Tatna
The most surprising person to wear color was Meher Tatna, the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Though many may see this as a dig at the efforts of Hollywood's top actresses, one Twitter user pointed out that Tatna may be paying tribute to India, where "red IS our basic black."

Despite wearing red, Tatna made sure to show support for the actresses' efforts during her speech.
