Gillian Anderson, 55, Shuts Down 2024 Golden Globes Red Carpet in Gown Featuring Vaginas: 'It's Brand Appropriate'

The 'Sex Education' star said she chose the Gabriela Hearst look "for so many reasons" and also said it was inspired by peonies

Gillian Anderson knows how to make a fashion statement.

The Sex Education star, 55, stepped onto the 2024 Golden Globe Awards red carpet in a custom ivory strapless gown by Gabriela Hearst that she explained was embroidered with vaginas.

"[I wore it] for so many reasons," the actress told Deadline of the female anatomy design, adding, "it's brand appropriate."

Inside, she told PEOPLE — after receiving a hug from Jennifer Garner — that the dress in has a floral inspiration, noting what she loved most about it was that “it’s covered in peonies!”

According to the label, each motif on the dress took 3.5 hours to embroider.

Anderson accessorized the daring look with plenty of Chopard jewels, including an 18k white gold necklace with a 10-carat pear-shaped yellow diamond and nearly 30 carats of diamonds, earrings in 18k yellow gold and 18k white gold with four pear-shaped yellow diamonds totaling 15 carats of yellow diamonds and a pair of white diamonds totaling .50-carats and a bracelet in 18k white gold with 13 carats of diamonds and a ring in 18k yellow gold set with diamonds.

Perhaps the most glam piece of Anderson's look, though, was her hair. The actress let just a few wisps of gray roots peek out from the crown of her head, fully embracing the naturalness of her hair. The rest of her blonde hair was swept back and styled in a soft wave.

She kept her makeup fairly natural, rocking a soft smokey eye and a pink lip.

Anderson is all about balancing glam and comfort. She may know how to rock a gown on the red carpet, but she also loves to dress down when she's at home. Back in 2021, she did an Instagram Live Q&A with fans and openly shared her hatred of bras!

"I don't wear a bra anymore. I don't wear a bra. I can't wear a bra. I can't, no. I can't," The Crown star said, when asked about her go-to outfit during the COVID pandemic. "I'm sorry, but I don't care if I reach my belly button, my breasts reach my belly button. I'm not wearing a bra anymore. It's just too f------ uncomfortable."

As for her clothing of choice, Anderson said she would wear "comfortable" black track pants and a black hoodie "every day" if she could.

"[It's] probably the same as my go-to out-of-lockdown outfit," the actress added. "I'm so lazy."
