The Golden Globes are a perfect time to see the year's best fashion unfold on the red carpet. Sporting works by designers of the likes of Calvin Klein, Prada and Givenchy to Gucci and Chanel, stars walked the runway in a vast array of styles.
The fashion on the red carpet is always a huge topic in the media: who wore what color best, who had the most glitter or even who wore the most expensive ensemble. A great thing about the red carpet is that there are really no rules. Designers can do as they please, step out of their comfort zones and create truly unique pieces for the stars.
We get to see a little bit of everything on the red carpet each year and 2018 was no exception. Pants under a dress? Seems a bit odd at first, but somehow it looked stunning. Crazy color-blocking and embroidering beads into every single seam? Not even a challenge to find.
What we see the stars wearing can go on to influence our fashion for weeks, possibly bringing back a trend or two. Many fashion-savvy individuals view the Golden Globes as a perfect time to check in on designers and see what they are creating, so let's look at what took over the red carpet this year.
The most notable theme was the color black. If you are following some of these stars on Instagram, like Emma Watson, you might have seen a couple posts related to the "Time's Up" movement, working to combat sexual misconduct in the workplace.
While the beautiful gowns these cherished women wore were also working to support a cause, they were doing an amazing job standing out all on their own. Here is my top ten list, filled the most gorgeous gowns that graced the 2018 red carpet.
10. Sarah Paulson in Calvin Klein
9. Alison Brie in Vassilis Zoulias
8. Nicole Kidman in Givenchy
7. Saoirse Ronan in Atelier Versace
6. Diane Kruger in Prada
5. Alessandra Mastronardi in Chanel
4. Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji
3. Emma Watson in Ronald van der Kemp
2. Natalie Portman in Dior Haute Couture
1. Margot Robbie in Gucci
I will admit, my favorite color is black, so I am of course swayed towards these 10 dresses. However, I think all actors and actresses who wore black this year deserve our respect for supporting a cause they believe in.
