We always love fun evening that bring people together and the Oscars is always one such night evening! It is a joy to see so many important movies honored and so many people honored.
At an awards show that historically hasn’t honored diversity, we were thrilled to see the beginning of a shift towards more diversity. This was the first year where an African American was nominated in every catergory. We also admired the diversity evident in the wedding-worthy red carpet looks. Enjoy some of our favorites:
British actress Naomie Harris in Belgian designer Raf Simons’ first design for Calvin Klein
Australian actress Nicole Kidman in Italian designer Armani
Many stars also sported blue ribbons to support the ACLU and protest recent travel bans. If you feel led, please consider supporting the ACLU through a registry with The Good Beginning!
