Making a statement.
Much has been made of the fact that Ruth Negga wore a blue pin in support of the American Civil Liberties Union, an organisation campaigning for civil rights but Emma Stone made a political statement all of her own too.
The Best Actress winner (YAS) had a Planned Parenthood gold pin attached to the front of her Givenchy fringed flapper-style gown.
As you may recall, one of the first decisions made by President Donald Trump was to ban federal funding for international healthcare organisations that perform or promote abortion.
Planned Parenthood, a non-profit organisation that provides reproductive health services, was one of the aforementioned organisations and Trump’s actions on the matter angered many.
It seems Emma, like many others, wants her feelings to be heard and last night, she showed solidarity with women across the world with this simple gesture.
