Oscars Style: Maggie Gyllenhaal

How to look awesome at the Oscars right after you’ve had a baby, by Maggie Gyllenhaal, age 28:

1. Disappear for a while, so people forget how you used to dress. Then it’s like a surprise!

2. Find a seriously awesome dress that’s both edgy and classic, so it looks awesome no matter anyone’s personal taste. Take that, Joan Rivers!

3. Get beautiful, flawless, glowing skin.

4. Tuck hair back into an Old-Hollwood style that doesn’t look like I used a glue-gun on my skull, Jennifer Lopez.

5. Red Lips

6. Show up early, so the photographers are still bored watching all the Best Short Film people get out of their taxis and waiting for the first famous person to show up.

7. Get photographed a hundred million times.

8. Smile – THIS is how you have a baby in Hollywood, people, okay?
