Check out the rest of the blue parade after the cut.
Mo'Nique made sure everyone knew the significance of her Oscar night apparel - a tribute to Hattie McDaniel, who was the first black woman to win an Oscar - 70 years ago.

And J-Hud, another black Oscar winner (and for Best Supporting Actress too!) wore royal blue to Elton John's post-Oscars party - and looked just about the best we have ever seen her. Her post-baby work-out plan is working.
Interestingly enough, another Precious alum, Mariah Carey, also wore blue on Sunday night, rocking a Valentino.
Oprah said it was all a happy coincidence, noting:

And since, truly, the spirit of Hattie McDaniel was looming large last night, it felt only appropriate to end with a pic of the lady herself.

[/caption]The Oscars were last night and from the Kodak Theatre to the after parties, one colour stood out on the red carpets -blue.It seems as if everyone was wearing blue, including many of the nights' biggest stars.
From 'Precious' star and best actress nominee Gabourey Sidibe wore a cobalt blue Marchesa to her co-star and Best Supporting Actress winner Mo'Nique in royal blue, it was all over.

"The reason I have on this royal blue dress is that it's the color Hattie wore in 1940 when she won this Oscar, the reason I have this flower in my hair, it's the flower she wore when she won this Oscar. For Hattie, I feel you all over me, and it's about time that the world feels you all over them. Thank you so much baby, I love you."

"That was just some sort of divine synchronicity, I guess from Hattie McDaniel. All the black women in blue, I don't know what happened."
