Last night's Golden Globes red carpet became a sea of black

as Hollywood took a stand against sexual harassment in the work place. It was a moving sight to take in as everyone stood together in solidarity for the #timesup movement. Learn more about the movement here. While the focus was more on motive than fashion, I can't help but point out the trends that took center stage... Velvet has been a huge texture trend this season, so plenty of stars showed up in black velvet (Jessica Chastain and Zoe

Kravitz being two of my favorites). Also a major trend of the night was a pop of emerald green. It made the perfect accent to all the black on the carpet (it's also my birthstone, so I've always been a huge fan of the deep green hue). As expected on any carpet, there were loads of sequins and sparkle (Kerry Washington in particular). A more casual carpet than other award shows, I was a huge fan of the shorter hems on some of the gowns. Ankle-grazing gowns that show your shoes is the perfect way to make a look a little less fussy. On the other hand, countless stars showed up in pants, a welcomed change from the sea of evening gowns. (The Queen) Claire Foy and Hollywood royalty Kyra Sedgwick were both donning perfectly tailored power suits.  As I've been doing some pre-spring shopping, a trend I've noticed becoming more and more popular is a hint of boho, a nod to the 70s. Alicia Vikander (one of my red carpet favorites) wore a long sleeved peasant gown that makes me long for the warmer days of spring.

But let's all stop and slow clap for the true queen of the night, Oprah.
Am I right or am I right? Go Oprah.
