A brief history of women wearing pants to the Golden Globes and looking FIERCE
Must female glamour always equal the ballgown? The answer is a resounding NO. Just look to Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, Faye Dunaway, Taylor Schilling and dozens more to learn, once and for all that pants on a leading lady can be dressy and sexy as all get-out.
There are pencil pants, fitted pants, flared pants, long pants, flood pants, pant suits, pant-dresses. All the pants! All shown here by our most revered actresses, showing off their enviable shapes in all manner of two-cylindered fashion.
To further blend outmoded gender lines, next we just need a few men to show up in skirts. Oh, wait. That’s happened on other red carpets (see Jared Leto, Marc Jacob, NYFW), now we’re just waiting on the Globes to catch up.
In the meantime, behold: red carpet women in pants.
