Vulvas: Why Gillian Anderson and this dress shocked the red carpet at the Golden Globes
While upon first inspection, the chic wool and silk cady Gabriela Hearst creation epitomizes old Hollywood glamour, a closer look reveals a more subversive twist: The addition of tens of embroidered vulvas sewn onto the skirt.
(and the hem is not finished and all frayed.)

[quote] Anderson herself explained to British Vogue that, “Since my Instagram presence has been highlighting yonis (the Sanskrit word for womb or vagina) since ‘Sex Education’ landed on Netflix and with [bold] the mantra of my (wellness soft drinks) brand G-Spot being to ‘prioritize pleasure’,[/bold] I wanted to bring this element into the design… I’m so pleased Gabriela was up for the challenge!”
Words fail me.
And I had always thought David Duchovny was the nutcase.

I think she’s letting all the power dykes at the Globes know that she’s giving up dick again , and is returning to muff diving.

If she had only had little white vulvas embroidered all over one of her boxy 1980s Margaret Thatcher dresses from "The Crown," and worn that.
THAT would have been more of a statement.

She's had a show on Netflix for a few years now and I've never heard of it until just now.

She is my choice for best-dressed. I know the messaging is tiring, but she looked amazing. Bonus points for not carrying a clutch. The chosen handbag was so unexpected, and just perfect.

Women's reproductive rights? I thought she was announcing to everyone that she likes pussy.

Once some women hit menopause they go nuts at the thought no one thinks of them sexually anymore.

Well, now some actor will have to have very subtle images of penises and testicles embroidered all over his suit for the Oscars. It's only fair.
Love Anderson's handbag.

The design is abstract enough that I guess it's acceptable.

As always, she looks great.

No, I have a Jacquemus shirt in ivory with similar appliqué work. It’s supposed to hang, not get tucked into your pants.
I’m a pocket gay - these will NOT BE VAGINES!

She includes women with penises in the general description of females, so it is male inclusive.

JW Anderson makes peniswear, I believe. I also think Alexander McQueen did some. Or maybe Rick owens.

Since Margot Robbie and Oprah are advertising their projects via gown (pink and purple respectively) it is appropriate that Gillian, the genitals-obsessed therapist in Sex Education, represent as well.

This dress goes well with Deb Messing's vagina cupcakes.

[quote]Kim Cattrall, who was similarly sex-branding at that age 15 years ago
Kim Cattrall wasn't so much "branding" as she was type-casted due to her character on Sex and the City. She made it pretty clear she was done with Samantha Jones and was ready to move on. It was horse-face SJP who couldn't let it go.

Reading the offended comments from the snowflake blue checks on Twitter because of her statement dress was hilarious.

That embroidery is very subtle. Anyone who was offended is the type of person who wakes up in the morning looking to be outraged.

Yes, the design looks like it could be leaves or some kind of flower. Still, she's an old harlot for wearing that dress.

I can't stand it when women pull these stunts. No, it isn't "brave" and it doesn't "make a statement". You have a two dozen clams appliqued on your dress. That's all. It's weird and you trying to make it an empowerment thing just makes you look like an asshole and the washed-up old actress that you are. You can't dine out on your looks or fame anymore so you do this. Okay, cool. Go home now.

R37 is flicking herself at the "powerful" and "brave act of defiance" exhibited by such a strong womyn.
Take a seat old mare, or keep off a website by and for gay men if you're offended so easily. You shouldn't be here anyway.

It’s a beautiful gown, she looks awesome, and the purse rocked.
Plus, they avoided making look like a wedding dress.

R38, it's not an "act of defiance". She's just making a subtle statement that women's reproductive rights are an important issue that needs attention in today's political climate.

R40, okay, good point. But it's still a tacky way to do it. The dress WAS beautiful. A bit too wedding'y, but still beautiful. The embroidered vagines weren't fitting of the event or the beautiful dress. But that's just me, of course. But you make a good point. - 38

Vaginas you say? Well, well. So that’s what they look like. I always imagined pink someone.

R42, On the commentary for “Girls Will Be Girls”, Jack Plotnick spoke about how none of the cast and crew new what a vulva looked like. They had to consult with someone before Evie’s necked scene.
I think they finally had Jack tuck and put a GRAY merkin over everything.
