The former “X Files” star Gillian Anderson shocked the world on Sunday night when she wore a vagina-covered dress to the Golden Globe Awards.
Anderson’s Vagina Dress
“It has vaginas on it,” Anderson said, adding that she chose to wear this dress for “so many reasons.”
“It’s brand appropriate,” she stated with a smirk.
This was likely a reference to Anderson portraying Jean Milburn, a sex therapist and overbearing mother to teenage son Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) on “Sex Education.” This show featured Anderson’s character hosting vagina workshops and having vulva-inspired art throughout her home, according to USA Today.
“During the first season of the show, because there were so many great props in Jean’s house that looked like penises and yonis. I took lots of pictures of them while we were filming and the girl who helped me with social media said, ‘I think you might get banned.’ We weren’t sure if putting up penis pictures would backfire, but so far it’s been alright,” Anderson told British Vogue in January of 2020, referring to her “#yonioftheday” and “#penisoftheday” series’ on social media.
“Now people send me stuff that they’ve seen – shadows, plants, basically anything that looks like a penis or yoni,” Anderson continued. “Sometimes it can be hard to capture them, like if you’re in a cab going through London and you see something. I haven’t gotten to a point yet when I’m like, ‘Stop the cab!’ But I guess I might.”

Anderson Completes Her Look
People Magazine reported that Anderson completed her look last night “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.”
Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher Portrayal
Anderson previously portrayed the conservative former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on “The Crown,” telling Harper’s Bazaar in 2020 that she tried to portray her as a “human being.”
“I had to get to a point where it’s nothing to do with my opinions of her policies, of her actions,” she said at the time. “It is only about her as a human being and her motivation as a politician and as a mother.”

In a 2021 interview, Anderson opened up about her disdain for 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,” she said. “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.”
Anderson went on to say that she would be “comfortable” wearing 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,” she stated. “I’m so lazy.”
