This year marks the one year anniversary of Time’s Up, an initiative that was launched at a critical time in Hollywood and beyond where women declared it was not safe at work and a call for change was in order. During last year’s Golden Globes, actresses and actors walked the red carpet donned Time’s Up pins in solidarity with the cause. On Sunday during the Globes red carpet, many can expect the message of Time’s Up to continue with ribbons and bracelets to symbolize that we are all tied together in our joint commitment to create safe, fair and dignified workplaces for women of all kinds.
Oscar-nominated costume designer Arianne Phillip, who designed the logo, also created this year’s red carpet accessory which will serve as a visual representation of our new TIMESUPx2 campaign which champions the second year of the movement. In addition, it...

Last year Hollywood transformed the Golden Globes red carpet. As a sign of solidarity against sexual harassment — both in the entertainment industry and in careers across the globe — a large majority of the 2018 Globes attendees wore black.
Waves of black dresses appeared on the camera-lined carpet outside the Beverly Hilton, turning a fashion moment into a fierce movement. The newly formed Times Up group used that megaphone to get their message out and tell everyone #WhyWeWearBlack.
“It’s to show that this issue doesn’t just affect women in Hollywood,” Emma Watson told Variety back in 2018, alongside her date, Marai Larasi, executive director of Imkaan, an organization that strives to prevent violence against marginalized women. “The issue is affecting women everywhere, in every country around the world. It is global, it is systemic, it is structural, and we’re all joining together in that tonight to amplify this message.”

Some may wear their heart on their sleeve, but Emma Watson wears her mission on her arm!
As the 27-year-old arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar afterparty in Beverly Hills on Sunday, all eyes were drawn immediately to a new Time’s Up tattoo on the actress’ arm.
But although Watson seemed to enjoy showing off her statement-making ink — which was written in a black cursive script — chances are it won’t be around for long, as it appeared to be only a temporary tattoo upon closer inspection.
