If there's one place to make your voice heard, it's at the Oscars. Stars are taking a stand for what they believe in — whether it's on political or environmental issues — with their red carpet looks. And everyone best tune in.
Celebs like Ruth Negga, Karlie Kloss, and Casey Affleck were spotted wearing blue ACLU ribbons while Scream Queens star Emma Roberts chose a sustainable dress. These small style statements shed light on major global issues and the role Hollywood's taken in rallying around these important causes in light of Donald Trump's controversial policies. As the big night goes on, you can bet on seeing more activist moments from your favorite celebrities.
