Priyanka Chopra looked very familiar during the Golden Globes Red Carpet, but it wasn’t because I had seen her in a recent movie. Her gown’s detailed geometric patterns woven into golden-yellow brocade and low neckline, coupled with her dark hair and raised arm, transformed her clearly into Adele Bauer-Bloch.
When Janelle Monae appeared in a stark white fluffy skirt with black dots of varying sizes, I saw the energy of Yayoi Kasuma’s Pumpkin. The dark blue gown with orange accents on Caitrion Ambalfe vibrated with the same intensity as a Mark Rothko in the same colors. Thick black graffiti danced across Heidi Klum enveloped in what must have been a Keith Haring.
I started to live-tweet these comparisons, again, but this time, I used a new hashtag. With another tweet, I proposed #AwardShowsSoMuseum, received multiple positive replies, and continued….
Stay tuned for subsequent award shows and look for #AwardShowsSoMuseum on Twitter!
