Los Angeles - From flowing gowns to
tailored tuxedos, Hollywood's film and television stars dressed
in their finest black on the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday
in solidarity with the Time's Up campaign to fight sexual
harassment in the workplace.
Jessica Chastain, Laura Dern and Natalie Portman led female
and male nominees as well as attendees dressed in black at the
awards show where the sexual harassment scandal roiling
Hollywood is expected to dominate the conversation.
"We're here for the Time's Up movement. Octavia (Spencer) is
my date - girl power! We stand in solidarity against any abuse
of power," Chastain, nominated for "Molly's Game" and wearing a
black velvet gown with a silver sequined back, said in a
televised interview with NBC on the red carpet.
"It's about people who are voiceless, and it's about
empowerment," added Spencer, who is nominated for "Shape of
Water."

In the week leading up to the awards ceremony, more than 300
Hollywood industry figures including actors, directors and
writers, launched the Time's Up campaign to address workplace
sexual harassment misconduct.
Portman, who joined Instagram in the past week to promote
awareness of Time's Up, opted for a black velvet dress and
accompanied a pregnant America Ferrera, wearing a black sequined
dress with a tuxedo jacket, on the carpet.

"It's an incredible opportunity to get to go with a friend,
an activist, someone who can have our voices together because
we've been separated for so long ... and how much louder and
stronger our voices can be when we come together," Portman said.
Dern, in a strapless black gown, was accompanied by Monica
Ramirez, the co-founder and president of the National Farmworker
Women's Alliance (Alianza Nacional De Campesinas), which
represents more than 700,000 women working in the agricultural
industry, fighting workplace sexual misconduct.
"It's time for us to make a difference," Dern said.
