“We’ve been working together this year and when Michelle Williams spearheaded the idea of actresses bringing activists on the red carpet, my first thought was, ‘It would be so great to do it with Marai’, because we have fun together, we challenge each other,” Emma shared with E! ahead of the show.

Marai added, “There’s something about in women in Hollywood speaking out. There is a wall of silence around violence against women and girls and every time somebody speaks out, it just creates a bit of a crack in that wall.”
