After the all-black gown protest at the Golden Globes on Monday, Hollywood’s elite shunned their dark clothes for bright whites at the ceremony in Santa Monica.

Angelina Jolie wowed the crowds in a classic Ralph and Russo dress, alongside Kate Bosworth and Emma Roberts.

While Diane Kruger followed suit, her style choice saw her head straight to the top of the worst dressed lists alongside Jessica Biel and Margot Robbie – who bagged the Best Actress gong for I, Tonya.

Actress Olivia Munn made her hosting debut at the event and kicked off the show with a Toast To The Good Guys segment with Niecy Nash.

Raising their glasses, the pair praised men who “asked me to meet them at a hotel conference room instead of their hotel room.”

Nicey went on to thank “all the men for speaking up at the Golden Globes,” to which Olivia then added: “They didn’t actually say much there…”

Their hilarious skit set the tone for the evening, which saw Handmaids Tale star Elisabeth walk away with three gongs.

Gal Gadot, who won the #SeeHer award, was praised by viewers for the statement she made on stage.

Brit star Gary used his time on stage to make up for a blunder at the Golden Globes.
