After the scandals that have come out in the last 12 months about the treatment of women in this industry and the types of harassment they face many celebrities decided to make a statement. In support of the 'Times Up' campaign the biggest names of Hollywood decided to take to the red carpet in Black. A pretty bold statement right? I think so.

I was then horrified to see and hear people criticising the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Kate Hudson for wearing dresses which included transparent detailing. I was even more surprised to see these comments being made on a popular breakfast show, presented by a woman!
These women were branded as showing too much skin! Too much skin? Excuse me? These dresses if anything (to me anyway) drive home the point of the statement being made at the awards ceremony. That women are no objects, their bodies are not there to be spoken about or criticised. Woman are equals and should be treated as that and their choice of clothing, quite frankly is no one else's business.
These women excel at their profession and that should be the only focus of any individuals view. They're standing up for what is right, to make sure future generations don't have to go through what many of them went through themselves.
I personally think the dresses chosen by every woman at the Golden Globes were flawless, not matter how much skin they chose to show. They showed they own their own bodies and they're ready to stand up and fight for what they believe. Keep standing up for what you believe in.
