Stars pay tribute to ‘Je suis Charlie’ on Golden Globes red carpet
The Golden Globes red carpet is usually a glamorous affair, but last night it was used to show solidarity for the 17 French people killed in last weeks terror attacks.
Amal Clooney used her first Golden Globes red carpet to make a political statement, pinning a ‘je suis Charlie’ button on her Dior handbag.
Mrs George Clooney was joined by several other stars who displayed the viral phrase for cameras.
‘I am Charlie’ is a statement of solidarity with Charlie Hebdo, the satirical magazine where eight journalists were murdered – along with two policemen and two bystanders – by Islamist fanatics last weekend.
Dame Helen Mirren, Kathy Bates and Diane Kruger also voiced their support.
Film producer Harvey Weinstein wrote in a Variety column that he hoped stars used the Golden Globes as a chance to pledge solidarity with French journalists who were killed last week.
‘There’s always champagne on the table. I hope we can all raise glasses and that someone like Tina, Amy or George Clooney will urge us to toast with 300 million viewers around the world: ‘Je suis Charlie, je suis juif, je suis Ahmed,’ he wrote.
Mrs Clooney, a British human rights lawyer, told Elle prior to the awards that she was wearing a Dior gown and carrying a handbag that was ‘customized in solidarity with the French people who’ve gone through a terrible week.’
Dame Helen Mirren also used the Golden Globes as a golden opportunity to give her verdict on the Paris terrorist attacks.
The dazzling 69-year-old also noticeably had a pen pinned to her stunning red dress.
