LOS ANGELES: A year ago, the Golden Globes red carpet was a total blackout as Hollywood's A-listers drew attention to the problem of sexual harassment in entertainment and other industries.
On Sunday, the message remained, but the sartorial choices were far more diverse. Here is a look at some trends from the Globes, the first showbiz awards gala of 2019.

A giant diamond choker completed her look - seemingly a throwback to Judy Garland's style in the 1954 version of Star.

The basic black tux was definitely out on the Globes carpet, with Tinseltown's stars sporting jackets in various colours. British star Idris Elba slayed in an emerald green jacket and waistcoat, while nominee Darren Criss opted for a black and white floral pattern.

After last year's all-black statement, this year is all about the bracelets. White and black 'Time's Up X 2' bracelets were seen on everyone from double nominee Regina King to Elba, whose daughter Isan is helping to hand out the awards. Others wore pins, or even carried ribbons with the message.

Adams wowed in a simple turquoise, off-the-shoulder gown, her red hair also side-swept into soft curls.
