"I'm wearing black to thank and honour all the brave whistleblowers who came forward to share their stories of harassment and assault," declared a stern Messing.
"I'm wearing black to stand in solidarity with my sisters all over the globe ... we want diversity, we want intersectional gender parity, we want equal pay."
Dakota Johnson
Johnson focused on texture in this sleek velvet Gucci slip offset by a heavy buckled belt and elaborate, glittering train.
Elisabeth Moss
A simple yet eye-catching choice from the star of The Handmaid's Tale, Moss has picked perfect dimensions with this full skirt, sleeve and snappy collar.

Williams continues to evolve her pixie chic style in this off-the-shoulder black and embroidered number. As she expressed her support for the Time's Up protest, Williams said the movement leaves her hopeful her daughter won't endure what women of today have.
