The 2024 Oscars red carpet was full of notable fashion, and many stars chose to add a red pin to their looks in support of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
Singer and Oscar winner Billie Eilish, director Ava DuVernay and Poor Things actors Mark Ruffalo and Ramy Youssef were among the guests who wore the enamel red pin which connoted their solidarity with Artists4Ceasefire, a group of nearly 400 entertainment industry workers who signed an open letter urging President Biden to call for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict.
Other celebrities who signed the letter include America Ferrera, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Chastain, Quinta Brunson, Cate Blanchett, Lupita Nyong’o, Drake, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Lopez.
“We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine,” the letter to President Biden begins. “We ask that, as President of the United States, you and the US Congress call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost.”
