Hollywood awards season rolls on, and the most recent stop was in London on Sunday night for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) ceremony. Did the hop across the pond make a big difference in the sartorial splendor of the red carpet? And did #MeToo and Time’s Up make the trip? No, and yes, dear reader. Have a look at what was the same and what was different as noir came ashore in England.

In the annals of red carpet awards show fashion, the Grammys has generally not gotten a lot of love. The fashion press and high-glamour elites have traditionally tended to categorize the tastes of the music world as a bit garish, louche and lacking in refinement. The Grammy red carpet was considered to be “fun” – which was a very polite way of saying that it was not to be taken seriously, and perhaps even to be mocked. That began to change a few years ago, when artists like Rihanna crossed over into fashion as heads of their own collections, with stellar results. Street style infiltrated the highest echelons of the old-world fashion houses and the looks flew out the door. Perhaps the music world had a thing or two teach the fashion world, after all.
The SAG Awards on Sunday saw the return to color on the red carpet after the all-black attire at the Golden Globes. What style lessons can we learn from the evening’s standout looks? Our first observation is that #MeToo fashion can take many forms, in many colors. What seemed to unite the sartorial choices for the evening was a sense of ease and confidence, and a lack of coquettishness. Women of all ages, sizes, ethnicities and colors radiated a cool, assured and sometimes regal presence, and very few seemed to be concerned with pleasing the male eye. These women collectively looked elegant, interesting, graceful, fierce, smart, fresh and happy, and that said it all. Circa 2018, the way to own the red carpet is by owning your own space.
