My 2020 Oscar Fashion Favorites
The stars did not come to play this Awards season! Though there is an evident lack of diversity represented at The Oscars each year, some celebrities use their platforms to try and inspire and create change. Of course one of my favorite things of The Oscars is the fashion.
