Every year the Oscars has an unofficial theme. It’s been gothic, old Hollywood glam and princess-chic before, but this year the celebrities decided amongst themselves to pay homage to the big ol’ blue.

Yep, there were mermaid tails flapping around all over the red carpet, alongside clam skirts, fish scale sparkles and even a sea sponge or two rocking up at this year’s Oscars.

If you think I’ve got the bends from going too deep into this theme, then please do scroll through this gallery to see all the famous sea creatures for yourself.
