Amanda Seyfried's Golden Globes Outfit Has More Meaning Than You Realize

Amanda did not disappoint when debuting her look for the 78th Golden Globe Awards. She wore an Oscar de la Renta strapless rose-colored silk cady dress. The dress was adorned in hand-crafted taffeta silk flowers (per Entertainment Tonight).

The dress is believed to be a nod to the "Rosebud" from Citizen Kane. They're the last words Kane mutters on his deathbed, and while many believe there's a profound meaning to this final utterance, it's actually the name of his childhood sled, which was one of his fondest memories (per The Guardian). Mank addresses the controversial rumor that Rosebud was in fact a "pet name for Marion's genitalia" (per USA Today).

Historians dispute the reality of that portion of the movie, however. "That story has gone around. I was told it with great authority by more than one person, but I don't believe it," Sydney Ladensohn Stern, author of The Brothers Mankiewicz: Hope, Heartbreak and Hollywood Classics, said. "Rosebud was the name of a horse Herman bet on at the Kentucky Derby and won. There's even a mule named Rosebud in (another) old movie that Herman wrote. So he had a history of equine animals named Rosebud."
