While Pantone’s color of 2024 is peach, Hollywood’s hottest stars opted for a different pastel hue on the 96th annual Academy Awards red carpet on Sunday evening. Shades of seafoam were all the rage, as women rocked the soft green-blue shade in droves.

The event, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, saw fashionable stars like Emma Stone, Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh all rocking the clearly trendy color. We’re taking a closer look below.

Emma Stone

Stone took home her second career Best Actress Oscar last evening for her role in Poor Things. The 35-year-old opted for an icy seafoam Louis Vuitton gown by French fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière, which featured an oversized peplum and an understated train. Stone was styled by Petra Flannery, while she also worked with Mara Roszak and Rachel Goodwin for glam.

Hailee Steinfeld

The 27-year-old Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse star truly dazzled in an Elie Saab couture gown in a frosty shade of blue. The strapless gown, courtesy of the Lebanese fashion designer’s haute couture spring-summer 2024 collection, featured an intricately beaded top and flowing sleeves that were connected to the gown’s scarf-like neckline. Steinfeld worked with stylist duo Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn for the occasion.

Florence Pugh

Pugh’s custom Del Core gown featured a corseted bodice and a floor-length skirt in a stunning silvery shade of seafoam. The top was adorned with crystals, which stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray accented with a snake-inspired Bulgari necklace. The 28-year-old Oppenheimer actress noted in her Instagram story that the ensemble required her to position herself “slightly flat in the car to avoid creases.”
