# Object style MotionValues > Pass MotionValues directly to object-form style props. **Source:** [https://motion.svelte.page/docs/object-style-motion-values](https://motion.svelte.page/docs/object-style-motion-values) --- Motion components accept object-form styles in addition to CSS strings. Static entries render into the initial inline style, while MotionValue entries are subscribed with Motion's `styleEffect` so they update on animation frames without `styleString`. ```svelte ``` > Live example: [/examples/object-style-motion-values](https://motion.svelte.page/examples/object-style-motion-values) ## What Updates Live MotionValue entries inside `style` update live: ```svelte ``` Transform shortcuts like `x`, `y`, `scale`, and `rotate` are composed into one `transform` string by `motion-dom`. CSS variables use `style.setProperty`, and normal CSS properties write to the element's inline style. ## Static Entries Static object entries are serialized into the rendered style attribute: ```svelte ``` Numbers follow Motion's existing style handling for common dimensional and transform properties. Use strings when a value needs a specific unit. ## API Reference ### `style={object}` Object-form `style` accepts CSS property names, CSS variables, and Motion transform shortcuts. Values may be strings, numbers, or MotionValues. This matches Motion's style MotionValue path in `motion-dom`: `packages/motion-dom/src/effects/style/index.ts`.
