The Oscars 2023 ceremony has the presence of a number of stars wearing blue ribbons. Here’s what they are and why so many people wear them.
Several stars are wearing blue ribbons at the 2023 Oscars, and there is a deeper meaning and purpose behind them. What people wear on the red carpet (or, this year, the champagne carpet) is a major theme at the Oscars, but in 2023, it’s a smaller detail that gets noticed. In addition to designer dresses, some attendees at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles also wore blue ribbons.
Wearing a blue ribbon includes Best Actress nominee Cate Blanchett, Best Actor nominee Bill Nighy and Best Animated Feature director Guillermo del Toro. With such famous individuals wearing them, it means that they will be attracted by their importance. After all, the Oscars are no stranger to political or social statements, and this one is no exception. This is what the blue ribbons mean at the 2023 Oscars.
Blue ribbons at the Oscars show support for refugees
The blue ribbon at the 2023 Oscars was embellished with #WithRefugees in support of UNHCR. The aim is to express sympathy and solidarity with migrants around the world who have been forced to flee their homes due to war and persecution. The blue ribbon was made by Knotty Tie Co., an American company that assists refugees in Denver. The agency wrote in a statement:
“Wearing the blue #WithRefugees ribbon on the red carpet sends a powerful visual message that everyone has the right to seek safety – wherever and whenever.”
