The three women who didn't wear black to the Golden Globes really let the side down, says Liz Nice

Every football crowd has one or two. Those who, when there's a minute's silence, just have to open a packet of crisps, cough loudly or shout into the void.

They no doubt feel rather proud of their small rebellion, and indeed, I'm all for sticking your neck out and refusing to go with the flow just because everyone else is.

Except that there are some things in life too serious to ruin, and almost always, in those football crowds, the people around the rebel will let them know, in the plain speaking manner football crowds have, that actually their brave blow for individuality and personal choice is actually someone just being a prat.

I thought of this when I spotted the women who had decided to 'exercise their right' NOT to wear black to the Golden Globes.

The wearing black gesture was designed to show solidarity with the 'Time's Up' movement, supporting all the women who have faced, endured and indeed stood up against sexual abuse and harassment and are saying 'no more'.

Almost all the women who attended the awards on Sunday observed this gesture, with many men wearing 'Time's Up' pins on their suits to also show their support. But leave it to three women no one has ever heard of, German model Barbara Meier, who wore beige (such a rebel shade) because 'we were fighting for a long time for the freedom to wear what it is ok', someone called Bianca Blanco, who wore barely anything (the strips of red material she had on could barely be said to constitute a dress) and the president of the Hollywood foreign press association, Meher Tatna, who wore a Time's Up pin but said she had picked the dress with her mother and had chosen it because it was part of her Indian culture to wear red as a celebration.

'There's always one,' my own mother likes to say, though in this case, three, and as far as I'm concerned, whatever their reasons, they all let the side down.

'US women should shine, be colorful and sparkle,' Meier (the beige one) explained helpfully.

But as far as I can see, it was the women who stood up for each other and wore black to support the sisterhood who shone, not the ones who didn't.
