Why Cate Blanchett, Paul Mescal, and More Stars Wore Blue Ribbons at the BAFTAs

The most popular accessory at the 2023 BAFTAs had nothing to do with jewelry. As Hollywood stars arrived at London's Royal Festival Hall for the award show on Feb. 19, we noticed many wearing small blue ribbons attached to their dresses and suits. The pins, which featured white text that read "#WithRefugees," were designed to show support for refugees and displaced people around the world - an especially timely cause following the deadly earthquake in Turkey and Syria and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The idea was spearheaded by Cate Blanchett, who won best lead actress for her role in "Tár" during the ceremony. Other BAFTA nominees, including Michelle Yeoh, Paul Mescal, Emma Thompson, and Angela Bassett, followed in her footsteps and showed their solidarity. Jamie Lee Curtis, who adhered the meaningful ribbon to her ring, explained her decision to support the cause during a red carpet interview. "My friend Cate Blanchett is asking people to remind us all in the midst of all the season of shiny things that of course there are terrible refugee crises going on all over the world everywhere all at once, and we need to do our part," she said.

Ribbons and similar accessories have been used to make statements about worthy causes at plenty of past award shows. Stars wore Time's Up pins at the 2018 Golden Globes and white roses at the 2018 Grammys to protest against sexual harassment in the entertainment industry. Attendees at the 2018 Oscars wore orange American flag pins to show support for Everytown For Gun Safety following the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Plus, the same same blue "#WithRefugees" ribbons from the BAFTAs even made an appearance at the Oscars last year.

Read ahead to see the celebrities who displayed their support for refugees at the 2023 BAFTAs.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
