Jamie Lee Curtis has expressed her support for Ukrainian refugees on the red carpet at the 2022 Oscars.
Jamie,63, attended the star-studded red carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday (March 27) afternoon at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The Hollywood actress looked spectacular for the glitzy-do as she donned a high necked, figure-hugging black mesh gown with an extravagant glitter cover.
Expressing her support to refugees fleeing Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, the actress made a statement on the red carpet as she held up a blue ribbon wrapped around her finger that read: “#WithRefugees.”
It comes after Vladimir Putin’s invasion on Ukraine surpasses a month, with Russia’s occupancy entering it’s 34th day.

The Halloween actress completed the elegant look with a pair of diamond cross earrings and wore her light grey hair short and brushed back.
The United Nations Refugee Academy distributed the ribbons to the stars to wear before and during the 94th Academy Awards.
Anadil Hossain, Principal Communications Advisor for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said: “This year’s Oscar-nominated films include some powerful stories centered on the themes of refugees, displacement, home and belonging – Encanto, Flee, Three Songs for Benazir, Belfast, and Dune – at a time when the world is witnessing the largest refugee crisis since WW2.”
“Artists have been wanting to show their solidarity for Ukraine, and we wanted to ask them to extend this support to the almost 84million people forced to flee. Whenever. Wherever.”

Alongside showing her support for Ukraine, Jamie also paid tribute to the late Hollywood icon Betty White at the glitzy-do.
