“I’m really, really lucky,” she told reporters at the Academy Awards Nominees luncheon in LA.

“I work with wonderful people who really care about what I want and really just help me figure it out and relate (what I wear) to how I feel and how comfortable I feel in my style, I suppose, or lack of it, however they look at it!”
