Rita Wilson's Golden Globes Glam Squad Was Nowhere To Be Found, and the Internet Was Rapt
Rita Wilson caused quite a stir on Sunday afternoon ahead of the 77th Annual Golden Globes, as she reported that her hair and makeup stylist was quite late just a few hours before the event.
In a tweet, the actor said that her “hair and makeup person” was “one hour and twenty minutes late.” In a second tweet, she said she was “trying to be zen” about it all. But in a third tweet, she said that though the stylist was booked in September, they were still — you guessed it — not there.
My hair and makeup person is one hour and twenty minutes late.

Wilson elaborated on the situation on her Instagram, writing that she’d only have an hour to get glammed up. Julianne Moore showed some support for her fellow star, commenting the extremely relatable phrase, “Omg I feel u.”

In the time between the posts and her appearance on the red carpet alongside husband Tom Hanks, many social media followers were left wondering: Could Rita Wilson’s Golden Globes look be salvaged?
Rita Wilson has left us hanging. Did hair and makeup arrive? Did she make it??

Even Chrissy Teigen was invested in this mystery, tweeting that she couldn’t “go on” until she found out what happened.
I cannot go on until I know who, I have no life

Others joked that they were indeed holding Wilson’s stylist hostage, including actor and comedian Joel Kim Booster.
I will release Rita Wilson’s hair and makeup person when I get an APOLOGY and not a moment sooner.

Though many seemed to enjoy Wilson’s publicizing of her stressful day, others called the tweet insensitive given the deadly bushfire crisis in Australia and the recent U.S. strike on Iranian military general Qasem Soleimani. Others responded, in turn, that not every tweet merits that level of scrutiny.
