It won't only be women donning black during the planned silent protest against sexual harassment in Hollywood at the 2018 Golden Globes; actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and celebrity stylist Ilaria Urbinati have announced that at least some of the men attending will also be wearing black in solidarity with their female colleagues. 

Urbinati posted on Instagram last week, saying her clients will be part of the protest against gender inequality during the Globes on January 7. 

"Because everyone keeps asking me - YES, the men WILL be standing in solidarity with women on this wearing-all-black movement to protest against gender inequality at this year's Golden Globes," Urbinati wrote. "At least ALL MY GUYS will be. Safe to say this may not be the right time to choose to be the odd man out here - just saying."

Urbinati styles such actors as Thor: Ragnarok's Tom Hiddleston and Call Me By Your Name's Armie Hammer. 

The Rock has confirmed his own participation, commenting "yes we will" on Urbinati's post. 

The planned silent protest has been shrouded with controversy over recent weeks. Actress Rose McGowan called out Academy Award winner Meryl Streep after she spoke out against sexual assault-accused Harvey Weinstein and announced her involvement in the protest. 

"Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster [Weinstein], are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest," she tweeted in a since-deleted post. 

"YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You'll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa."
