20 Celebrities Using Fashion to Take on Washington

Underscored with more peace signs, hand and emoji. 

As did A$AP Rocky—important.

Equally important.

Wood made a point of telling Ryan Seacrest the reasoning behind her decision to wear suits (instead of gowns) on the red carpet this year: "I'm not trying to protest dresses, but I wanted to make sure that young girls and women knew that they aren't a requirement. And that, you know, you don't have to wear one if you don't want to and to just be yourself because your worth is more than that." 

She's kept that message going at the Critics' Choice Awards...

And even on the party circuit. 

Back to the Women's March in L.A., where Grey made a Dirty Dancing reference for the times.

In Washington, Monáe's shirt coincided with the actual, tangible difference (girls in STEM!) her film Hidden Figures is helping to make.

At a Harper's Bazaar party this weekend, Shawkat explained why she opted for a suit. "The idea that's very fashionable now is androgyny. I think that's also political," she said to the Cut. "It's like, we can't be affected by the ideals of some people who are in these higher-up positions and how they view sexuality and the roles of women and the roles of men."

After Brexit and the election, safety pins were adopted as a symbol of support for victims of intolerance. At Sunday evening's SAG Awards, Washington brought the message of inclusivity onto the red carpet.

Planned Parenthood pin #2.

*And* she marched and chanted (and dabbed) with the crowds in this "protest looQ."

And another one, which some people apparently found "disgusting."

A historical reference for a historical day.
