The bright color combination showed up on everyone from "Empire" star Taraji P. Henson to singer Mandy Moore, and several others.

Moore posted a fun photo on Instagram alongside "This Is Us" co-star Susan Kelechi Watson, who also wore the punchy hues.

"Always happy to be here and twinning with my girl @susankelechiwatson," she wrote in a caption.
