Bianca Blanco, an actress known for her roles in films such as American Romance, Teen Star Academy, and In Dubious Battle, made headlines after she wore red to the 2018 Golden Globes despite the fact that most of the attendees were wearing black in support of the #TimesUp movement.
The 36-year-old actress spoke to Fox News following the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards, saying she didn’t mind skipping the suggested dress code. Hard to blame her, as she looked absolutely stunning in her red gown.

“I love red,” she explained. “Wearing red does not mean I am against the movement. I applaud and stand by the courageous actresses that continue to break the cycle of abuse through their actions and fashion style choices. It is one of many factors leading women to a safer place because of their status. I am excited about the #TimesUp movement; true change is long overdue.”
However, the California-born talent is aware her latest style choice may garner criticism among women who may feel she should be taking a public stand against sexual abuse in Hollywood.
“It hurts my feelings, but I guess it’s part of being in our industry,” said Blanco. “We have people who appreciate you and others that don’t. The designer Atria Couture did an amazing job with my dress and I appreciate them for dressing me.”
Making a sound point, Blanco stated further that “shaming is part of the problem.”
The black outfits worn by the celebrities, both male and female, coincided with the launch of the Time’s Up, a legal defense fund for both women and men who believe they’ve been discriminated against or harassed in the workplace.
So far, more than 300 members of the entertainment business have signed a “letter of solidarity”.
