The stars are wearing black this year in protest of sexual harassment.
And Allison Williams, Kristin Cavallari and Giuliana Rancic led the charge as they attended the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
While Giuliana and Allison glittered in shimmering gowns for this year’s red carpet, Kristin chose a classic streamlined frock with dramatic sleeves.
Allison, 29, was a vision in the ornately designed strapless gown, which featured burnt orange and silver elements and a textured skirt.
The Girls actress paired the eye catching ensemble with chunky diamond choker, pulled back locks and minimal makeup.
Meanwhile, E! host Giuliana flaunted her svelte figure in a keyhole number with drop earrings and shimmery eye makeup.
Kristin, 31, dazzled in a fitted dress with sleeves that skimmed the red carpet.

The Golden Globes have always been the less serious stop en route to the Academy Awards.
But thanks to the Me Too movement, Hollywood’s annual booze-up took on the tenor of a protest rally on Sunday night.
And that couldn’t have been clearer than when looking at the red carpet, with the majority of female guests ditching the usual array of bright shimmering dresses in favor of solemn black.
The lack of other colors was chosen as a simple way to show solidarity with the victims of sexual harassment and assault.
It proved the most prominent and public display yet for the movement that has swept through Hollywood, leaving a trail of disgraced men in its wake.

It was an uncharacteristically serious moment for the Globes, which have traditionally been a celebration, a good time before the sober Oscars.
But they have had their political high points as well, like last year’s speech by Meryl Streep, the Cecil B. DeMille recipient for lifetime achievement. She spoke forcefully against then President-elect Donald Trump, who the next morning responded that Streep was ‘overrated.’
However, Meher Tatna, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association president, stood out in her red, silver and white gown; she added a Times Up pin.
Actress Blanca Blanco also chose a bold crimson frock for this year’s Golden Globes; she flashed her cleavage as well as her legs in the revealing number.

This year’s recipient is Oprah Winfrey, who earlier called the fallout following the allegations against Harvey Weinstein ‘a watershed moment’ for women.
Winfrey is among the hundreds of women in the entertainment industry who have banded together to form Time’s Up, an initiative to advocate for gender equality among studio and talent agency executives. It has also created a $14 million legal fund for victims of sexual harassment.
Time’s Up — whose members include many Globes attendees, including Reese Witherspoon, Gal Gadot and Emma Stone — unveiled itself Monday with full-page newspaper ads.
And there is fodder for its cause on display at the Globes itself. Five men will compete for best director tonight despite several potential nominees in Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), Dee Rees (Mudbound) and Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman). The category will be much watched when Oscar nominations are announced January 23.
Indeed the Globes are starting to see some of the same criticisms on diversity that have trailed the Academy Awards in recent years. But unlike the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, which has revamped its 6,000-plus membership to make its ranks more inclusive, the same pressure hasn’t been applied on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization of about 90 largely unknown foreign journalists.

But the HFPA’s quirks have drawn increased scrutiny, including this year’s oversight of one of 2017′s most acclaimed comedies, Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon’s interracial rom-com The Big Sick. Also snubbed was Girls Trip breakout star Tiffany Haddish. Her co-star Jada Pinkett Smith last month took HFPA members to task for not taking Girls Trip seriously for its awards.
And then there’s the choice to slot in Jordan Peele’s Get Out as a comedy, for the film and star Daniel Kaluuya. That provoked the Globes’ largest backlash, and helped make Get Out the most tweeted about nominee in the two weeks after nominations were announced in December, Twitter said Thursday.
Get Out is one of the favorites in the mix on Sunday, along with Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water, which led all films with seven nods. Close behind is Steven Spielberg’s The Post and Martin McDonaugh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” both with six nominations. One wildcard is Ridley Scott’s J. Paul Getty drama “All the Money in the World,” which landed three nominations, including one for Christopher Plummer. His performance was inserted at the last minute to replace Kevin Spacey, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by several men.
The top TV contenders are female-led dramas: HBO’s Big Little Lies, which Witherspoon stars in and produced, and the FX anthology series Feud: Bette and Joan.
