Winning Moment: Apple Watch and Braces Grace the Red Carpet Courtesy of Quvenzhané Wallis
Welcome to "Who Won Fashion Today," where we award the boldest, best dressed person of the day. Winning fashion doesn't necessarily mean you're wearing the most expensive, trendiest, or prettiest dress. Rather, we reward risk-takers—those that stay true to their personal style and make us go, "Now THAT is a LEWK.”

She’s now a full grown young adult—and a well dressed one, at that. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. She did wear a custom Armani dress to the Oscars ...
