Evan Rachel Wood's Mission to Wear Suits on the Red Carpet Will Make Her Your Hero

Jan 30 2017 - 7:05am

There's a simple reason you won't be seeing Evan Rachel Wood in a dress this award season: she "promised [herself she'd] wear a suit to every awards show." The Westworld [1] actress showed up to the Globes in a pantsuit [2] and continued her pants streak at the SAGs, in another Altuzarra look, finished with Salvatore Ferragamo shoes.

It's a message to women — and little girls — everywhere that we don't have to give into "the pressure to look a certain way," Evan said of her look on Sunday to E! News. She's making the choice to "go the other way," to show women that there is an alternative to the dresses and gowns that flood award season events and, well, formal events in general. And, when you present the alternative like this, with elegance and an important message (especially now, when we need it most), it's pretty empowering.
