And the Oscar for best accessory goes to …

Aquaman Jason Momoa.

The star turned heads and grabbed headlines Sunday at the 91st Academy Awards for sporting a pink scrunchie, matching his velvet pink suit and wife Lisa Bonet’s Fendi dress with the accessory.

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet attend the 91st Annual Academy Awards Feb. 24.

Celebrated fashion figure Karl Lagerfeld, who died Feb. 19, designed Momoa’s custom Fendi suit — which Momoa requested to match the 1990s hair accessory. (Seriously!) 

The former “Games of Thrones” and upcoming “Dune” actor documented his Academy Awards adventure in a video uploaded to his YouTube Channel.

“You know how Prince has purple? Jason has pink,” stylist Jeanne Yang joked during the video.

Momoa later added: “Pink on pink look good.”

His style choice didn’t go unnoticed by social media viewers, either.

Momoa, fresh out of swimming to the top of the box office with DC Comics hit “Aquaman,” presented the award for best documentary feature, won by rock-climbing film “Free Solo.”
