Forget naked-dresses, one of the biggest trends so far on the Oscars red carpet is a little more subtle: blue ribbons.
They've popped up on the designer gowns and tuxes of stars in support of the American Civil Liberties Union, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that aims to defend and protect individual rights and liberties.
Who has already been seen sporting the political accessory?

“The policies of this administration are abhorrent, and they will not last, and they are really un-American,” he said while accepting his award.
Star support for the ACLU predates this weekend, however.
Sarah Paulson used her SAG Awards speech to ask for ACLU donations in January. And back in October, Saturday Night Live star Sasheer Zamata parodied white privilege in a hilarious ACLU video.
