If Meryl Streep wearing the iconic cerulean blue sweater from The Devil Wears Prada earlier this year wasn’t a confirmation big enough, we are here to announce in big, bold letters, that blue is having a major moment right now. Different shades of blue are working against the clock to establish their dominance this year, and we are here for it!

Unless you are living under a rock, you probably know about Zendaya’s “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” series of looks that she wore for the promotions of her movie "The Drama". In which case, you would also know about her beautiful Schiaparelli look. The stunning black dress was covered in feathers in the prettiest shade of blue, which further solidified the color’s reign this year. She styled it with blue shimmery smokey eyes, which is another big trend right now under the blue trend umbrella.

Additionally, Lady Gaga also wore a blue-hued custom dress by Luar at the Superbowl earlier this year, which became a moment.

And, of course, the blue moment of the year, was the cerulean sweater. With the return of The Devil Wears Prada, came the return of the cerulean sweater. As a reference to her cerulean sweater monologue, Meryl Streep wore a similar sweater by J.Crew at the Tonight Show while promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2.
