We are all used to seeing plenty of gold during awards season. As Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie and Ariana Grande all ably demonstrated at last month’s Golden Globes, gold is uniquely flattering on everyone.

Which is why it shouldn’t be confined to the red carpet. And now, thanks to Kay Burley, perhaps it won’t be.
