Sex Education star Gillian Anderson has confirmed the important reason behind that vagina dress.

Turning up on the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday (January 7), Anderson wowed in a classic strapless white dress which included a hidden detail.

The dress, which was created by designer Gabriela Hearst, featured a skirt that was embroidered with a risqué design. Sewn onto the skirt of the dress in the same white colour were multiple vaginas that created an abstract looking pattern which could easily have been overlooked.

Opening up about her decision to step out in the unusual ensemble, Anderson encouraged Deadline to take a close look at the dress while explaining its meaning.

"The dress is designed by Gabriela Hearst, and it has vaginas on it," she explained.

When asked why she had chosen the garment, Anderson replied: "Oh, for so many reasons. It's brand appropriate."

Fans took to Twitter / X to share their views on the striking outfit with some believing the dress was a nod to her role as sex therapist Dr Jean Milburn in Sex Education.

"Gillian Anderson said Sex Education may have ended but it is NOT over," wrote one fan.

"Gillian Anderson wearing a dress embroidered with vaginas, oh she is and will always be the moment," penned another.

In other Golden Globes news, host Jo Koy has said he regrets the "weird joke" he told about Taylor Swift during the ceremony. "I think it was when the Taylor [Swift] one was just a little flat… It was a weird joke, I guess," he told GMA3.

"But it was more on the NFL. I was trying to make fun of the NFL using cutaways and how the Globes didn't have to do that. So it was more of a jab toward the NFL. But it just didn't come out that way."
