Evan Rachel Wood wants girls to know they don't have to wear dresses

Evan Rachel Wood has some pretty golden advice for getting ready for the red carpet: “Just be yourself, because your worth is more than that.”

The Westworld actress opted to wear a sharp suit on the Golden Globes red carpet to remind people there’s no right way to be a woman. 

“I love dresses; I’m not trying to protest dresses,” she told Ryan Seacrest. “But I wanted to make sure young girls and dresses knew that they aren’t a requirement, and you don’t have to wear one if you don’t want to.”

Woods cites the gender-bending looks of Marlene Dietrich, Julie Andrews in Victor, Victoria and David Bowie as her inspiration for the look. She frequently rocks pantsuits on the red carpet, including the Critics Choice Award last month, where she picked up an award for Best Actress in a Drama Series. 

Tonight, she’s up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama for her work on Westworld.
