For a very long time, many have questioned whether or not the red carpet is sexist: in 2014, filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom founded the Representation Project and the #AskHerMore campaign, urging journalists to ask women questions beyond, ‘Who are you wearing?’

Since then, many of Hollywood’s brightest stars have joined the movement: we’ve seen Elisabeth Moss hide a secret “f**k you” to the patriarchy in her outfit, and Blake Lively shut down incessant questions about her “go-to power outfit”. Jennifer Aniston, Julianne Moore and Reese Witherspoon famously refused to put their hands in E!’s infamous mani-cam in 2015. And, shortly after the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke, Cate Blanchett used her platform at the Style Icon Awards to further highlight the misogynist nature of the red carpet.

“No one says to Steve Bannon, ‘you look like a bag of trash. Do you want me to throw you out?’” mused Blanchett, “but the comments that get said about what women wear on the red carpet – I mean…

“I would be totally fine about walking down the red carpet without any make-up if everyone didn’t have their telephoto lenses looking for faults. But the thing is, the red carpet is a gladiatorial sport for women. There was one moment at the Golden Globes when they wanted me to stick my hand into a mani-pedi cam. It’s like, are you f***ing kidding me?! Are you really that micro in your assessment? I’m here because I’m nominated for my work, you know what I mean?

“I’d be totally fine if there was an agreement where you could say, ‘Wow, she looks great with no make-up.’ It’s the scrutiny, women want an armature.”

So it makes sense that, in a post-Weinstein world, Hollywood’s brightest stars are planning to take the opportunity to reclaim the red carpet and use it for good.

First things first, actors and actresses alike have been urged to don one special accessory in particular.
