The Story Behind Emma Corrin’s Pierrot Clown-Inspired Makeup for the 2021 Golden Globes
art and culture
In a short time, Emma Corrin has managed to serve up an array of boundary-pushing fashion moments, and the 2021 Golden Globes ceremony only continued that momentum. Across the pond in London, The Crown star, who won the award for best performance by an actress in a television series, drama, wore a custom ruffled black velvet Miu Miu ensemble that was a tribute to melodramatic fashion of 17th-century Pierrot clowns. “Lamby and I actually sent in some reference pictures,” Corrin told British Vogue of dreaming up the look with stylist Harry Lambert. “It probably sounds a little bit crazy, but we were inspired by Pierrot clowns, with their giant ruffs and androgynous silhouettes.” While the white organza collar of the gown certainly played its part, the look wouldn’t have been complete without the telltale sad Pierrot clown makeup, teardrop and all.
