- The Toddlewood child models have recreated the best Oscars looks
- They have recreated the looks of Dakota Johnson and Kelly Osbourne
- Also featured in the picture selection are Oprah and Jennifer Lopez
It's
been one of the most talked-about award seasons yet. From Eddie
Redmayne's tearful triumph, to Dakota Johnson's awkward red carpet run
in with her mother.
But if there is one thing that once again set tongues wagging it's the beautiful gowns on the red carpet.
From Scarlett Johansson's gorgeous green Versace gown to Dakota Johnson's beautiful red Saint Laurent number.
The stars
of Toddlewood have recreated some of the best Oscars looks of this year
including Scarlett Johansson's green Versace dress (left) and Jennifer
Lopez's Ellie Saab gown (right)
And
now the young stars of Toddlewood have recreated, and paid homage to,
some of the best Oscars looks of this year following the Academy Awards
this weekend.
Including Reese Witherspoon's Armani Prive gown and Jennifer Lopez' gold Ellie Saab ensemble.
Toddlewood
is the brain child of New York photographer Tricia Messeroux, who takes
everyday children and turns them into celebrities.
In
particular Tricia likes to photograph the children in red carpet looks
because she says: 'I love fashion, I love photography and I love kids.
'What better way to get everything I love than to Make It Happen Toddlewood-style!'
Tricia has previously worked on transforming children into Grammies stars and hilariously Kim and Kanye.
Here are our favourite Oscar's looks, Toddlewood style...

As one of the world's most in-demand models, looking good is the key to Jourdan Dunn's career.
With
countless catwalk appearances and major campaigns under her belt,
Jourdan is clearly doing something right...so what's her secret?
FEMAIL
caught up with the Maybelline New York ambassadress to find out - and
we discovered that an exhaustive eight-step beauty regime that takes her
nearly an hour a day is behind her flawless supermodel skin.
Jourdan Dunn is one of the most
esteemed supermodels in the world so FEMAIL caught up with her about her
skincare regime, diet and favourite fashion week moments
Sharing
her 'hardcore' beauty regime, Jourdan told us: 'I visited Tokyo and
became obsessed with their skincare, which is very advanced. Their
regimes have loads more steps but I incorporated some of their
techniques into mine and developed my own eight step regime.
'It takes me a good twenty minutes in the morning and then about half an hour in the evening.'
The secret behind her flawless skin? An eight step skincare regime and lip balm as eyeshadow and cheek tint
Jourdan,
who has been sitting front row at fashion week and is currently the
face of Burberry, has picked up some quirky beauty tips during her time
in the industry.
Her
favourites? 'Hold a credit card behind your lashes when you apply your
mascara. If you press against the card you get a wide-eyed, curled
effect without getting lots of product on your eyelid,' she advised.
She
also swears by using lip balm as an eyeshadow to give a 'glossy' finish
(her favourite is Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm), and she often uses
the pink tinted ones as blusher.
Jourdan has been working for
Maybelline New York since last April and gave the brand's new products a
spin over London Fashion Week

Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Sir Philip Green and Jourdan Dunn attend the
Topshop Unique show during London Fashion Week
When
it comes to beauty, 24-year-old Jourdan, an accomplished cook who runs
her own cookery YouTube channel, believes it's all about what you put
in.
'I like to eat healthy,' she said. 'I love good greens and fish and I'm not really a snacker.
'Luckily
the backstage catering at fashion week has improved. There used to be
nothing or just really boring food but they've really stepped it up.
Diane Von Furstenberg even had an amazing gluten-free buffet backstage
at her show.'
To
keep herself sane amid the backstage madness, Jourdan swears by
meditating, which she says helps her 'zone out'. She cites her favourite
thing about fashion week as seeing her friends (a roll call of the
coolest young models in the industry including Cara Delevingne, Karlie
Kloss, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid).
'I
don't get to see my friends very often and travelling around the world
for shows can be really lonely and boring so I love it when me and my
pals are all together for a catch-up,' she said.
Jourdan, seen walking in Naomi
Campbell's charity Fashion For Relief show, is currently the face of
Burberry alongside her fellow supermodel
The
six foot clothes horse, who has been dubbed the modern-day Naomi
Campbell, has been working as the face of Maybelline New York since
April last year.
Jourdan
joined an elite group of models who have worked for the brand,
including Christy Turlington, Adriana Lima, Erin Wasson, Emily DiDonato
and Mollie King.
As a Vogue regular, who was scouted in Primark in her teens, Jourdan was on the road to success very early in her career.

Rosie
Huntington-Whiteley and Kim Kardashian have long championed the
lingerie worn as outerwear trend and it seems it's about to go
mainstream.
Lingerie
giant La Perla unveiled its latest collection on the catwalk in Milan
on Friday and the runway was awash with lace bodysuits, cleavage baring
leotards and sexy silk jumpsuits.
The
brand, for which Cara Delevingne has fronted campaigns for, sent models
down the runway in ultra feminine designs, including daring red corsets
and more modest silk bottoms.

do high fashion as it unveiled elegant underwear designs on the catwalk

In
keeping with the current trend for luxe lace, the garments came with
sheer cutaways adorned with lace and stockings were made from the
material du jour.
It
has been a stellar year so far for the brand, which was established in
1954 in Bologna, Italy in the kitchen of corset maker, Ada Masotti.
They
unveiled an Atelier collection at Paris Couture Fashion Week in January
and called on Naomi Campbell, Isabeli Fontana, Natasha Poly, and
Lindsey Wixon to showcase the designs.

garments were sexy yet sophisticated with lace embellishment and more

As well as bralets and bikinis, the catwalk was awash with silky shorts and drawstring tracksuit bottoms
Earlier this month, La Perla opened the doors to its global flagship on Old Bond Street, London.
Speaking to Vogue
at the time, a spokesperson for the brand said: 'For La Perla it was
all about fully leveraging the craftsmanship and the fine knowledge of
modelling on the female body, which is an integral part of any garment
we make.
'Choosing
fabrics and techniques that represent sophisticated sensuality;
thinking about the main concepts that are at the heart of the La Perla
style philosophy.'

say they choose fabrics and techniques that represent 'sophisticated

- Colours of two-tone dress have become a topic of debate on social media
- Some viewers see the bodycon dress as white with gold lace detailing
- Others see royal blue with black while a few insist the colours change
- It became internet sensation and was tweeted by stars like Kim Kardashian
- She sees white and gold, while husband Kanye West sees black and blue
- #TheDress started trending worldwide on Twitter as discussion went global
- Dress, made by Roman Originals, appears to actually be black and blue
- Picture was first posted on Tumblr by Caitlin McNeill, 21, from Scotland
- Uploaded it after noticing friends saw different colours in the photograph
It is the question that has divided the internet: is this dress white and gold, or blue and black?
The two-toned frock has sparked a fierce online debate, with users taking to social media to argue over what colours they see.
The picture of the dress was first posted on Tumblr by
Caitlin McNeill, a 21-year-old aspiring singer from Scotland, after
noticing her friends saw different colours in the photograph.
The
image has become an online sensation, with posts arguing over the
dress's original colours - and science behind the debate - being viewed
and shared millions of times.
True colours: This photograph of
Cecelia Bleasdale in 'the dress', left, with daughter Grace Johnston and
son-in-law Keir Johnston, reveals that the frock is royal blue with a
black lace trim
Internet sensation: This picture of the dress has sparked debate, with viewers disagreeing over the colour
Black and blue: The real colours of the dress, made by British clothing company Roman Originals
Even
celebrities weighed in on the fashion debate, with Kim Kardashian asking
her 29.4million Twitter followers to help settle a disagreement between
herself and husband Kanye West.
And
#TheDress started trending worldwide on Twitter as the debate when
global. At 3.15pm this afternoon, there had been more than 1 million
tweets mentioning the hashtag.
The
photograph that started the internet storm was taken by Cecilia
Bleasdale while she was deciding on what to wear to her daughter's
upcoming wedding.
Ms
Bleasdale sent the picture of the frock to her daughter, Grace , to ask
the bride-to-be what she thought. Grace, in turn, shared it with her
then-fiance, Kier Johnston.
The couple disagreed over the colours of the dress, which can be purchased here, and Grace sought more opinions online.
The bride-to-be then posted the picture on Facebook, and her friends continued to debate the colour of the dress.
The
debate was forgotten until Caitlin McNeill, a close friend of the
newlyweds, posted the picture on Tumblr days after the wedding, which
took place on Saturday on the Scottish island of Colonsay.
Ms
McNeill, whose folk band played at the ceremony, shared the photograph
on a fan page dedicated to talent manager Sarah Weichel.
Weichel, who represents YouTube stars, told Business Insider last night that her phone began blowing up on Thursday after McNeill's post started going viral.
'The
crazy thing is, I actually have nothing to do with the post,' she said.
'But I have been getting a ton of phone calls and emails tonight.'
The page gave the dress the exposure that sent it into the online stratosphere.
It
was quickly picked up by bloggers, news outlets and Twitter users, who
have spent the last 24 hours commenting on the dress - and the debate it
has spared.
Speaking to Business Insider, Ms McNeill, said she couldn't believe the way the dress has exploded online.
She
said: 'I thought my followers on Tumblr would maybe have a good
reaction, but I never would have considered that Taylor Swift and Mindy
Kaling would be tweeting about it.'
Meanwhile,
as the newlyweds enjoy their honeymoon in Jamaica, their friends and
families have been shocked by the coverage over the dress.
Mr
Johnston's mother, Shirley Johnston, 62, said the reaction had been
'really weird' while 26-year-old Lindsay Maden, from Blackpool, who was a
bridesmaid at the wedding, described it as 'mental'.
The bride's sister, Angie McPhee, 27, said that she thought the newly-married couple were unaware of the social media storm.
She said: 'I think Grace is going to wake up in Jamaica and think oh my god, what is going on.'
Commenting on how the dress looked on her mother, Miss McPhee said: 'Fabulous. She looked absolutely fabulous on the day.'
Millions
have since joined the raging debate - dubbed 'dressgate' - with a
number of high-profile celebrities among those who have weighed in on
the issue.
Actress Mindy Kaling also joined the discussion, writing on Twitter: 'IT'S A BLUE AND BLACK DRESS! ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME'.
Her friend and fellow actor BJ Novak replied writing, 'white and gold.'
Creating a buzz: Kim Kardashian called on her 29.4million Twitter followers to help settle a disagreement
Star power: Celebrities including Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak and Oscar-winner Julianne Moore join the debate
'Confused and scared': Taylor Swift told her Twitter followers that the dress is 'obviously blue and black'
Joining in: Justin Bieber was one of the last celebrities to chime with his views on the dress on Twitter
Then recent Oscar winner Julianne Moore jumped in, writing to Novak and Kaling; 'what's the matter with u guys, it's white and gold.'
To that, Novak replied to Moore; 'Thank you!And congratulations on your Oscar, which Mindy thinks is purple and green.'
Taylor Swift wrote;
'I don't understand this odd dress debate and I feel like it's a trick
somehow.I'm confused and scared.PS it's OBVIOUSLY BLUE AND BLACK.'
And Justin Bieber kept his fans happy by telling them that he sees 'blue and black'.
McNeill said that she never expected the post to prompt such a star-studded debate.
Some celebrities avoided the issue completely, simply declaring that the dress was ugly.
Model
Chrissy Teigen told her 655,000 Twitter followers: 'F*** the dress it's
heinous. While Oscar-winner Jared Leto branded it 'fugly'.
McNeill
said she never expected the picture to spark a star-studded debate,
explaining that she just thought her followers on Tumblr would have a
'good reaction'.

Kim
Kardashian and Rita Ora may have made headlines for showing up to a
party in near-identical latex dresses but they're not the first - and
the won't be the last - to rock the look.
Once
the sartorial statement of choice in sex clubs, latex, PVC and wet-look
leather has been treated to a high fashion makeover.
It's
all the rage among celebrities and supermodels and judging by the
catwalks at fashion week, it could well be filling our wardrobes in
months to come.
Kim
Kardashian and Rita Ora showed up to a party on Thursday night in
near-identical latex dresses by famed designer, Atsuko Kudo...and
they're just two of the stars jumping on the bandwagon
On
Thursday night, Rita Ora, 24, stepped out for the Mert & Marcus
House of Love party in celebration of Madonna wearing a near-identical
latex dress to the queen of curves herself.
Both designs were by Atsuko Kudo and while Kim, 34, went for a high-collared look, Rita's came with a metal adorned choker.
Kim
has long championed the style. She wore a strikingly similar look by the
same the designer back in November for a fragrance launch in Australia.
The
£274 blush pink ensemble was the third time in just a few months Kim
Kardashian wore the look, after pouring herself into a black bodice at
the GQ Woman Of The Year awards in September, and to watch husband Kanye
West perform at Made In America in Los Angeles in August.

Mrs Kanye West isn't the only
celebrity to wear Atsko Kudo designs: the elaborate red dress Lady Gaga
wore to meet Queen Elizabeth in 2009 was created by the designer
Speaking
to MailOnline about the bra and pencil skirt combo at the time, the
brand’s managing director, Simon Hoare, said: ‘Latex fits so much to the
body that to the naked eye it’s very difficult to tell if it’s a top
and a skirt, or a dress,’ he said.
Kim’s
skin-tight outfit appears to leave little room for underwear, and Simon
admitted it generally looks better if the wearer does go sans pants.
‘It’s probably better without if you can manage it – but I’d have to leave that up to the lady in question’.
The
co-founder of the label said that they have met with the Keeping Up
With The Kardashians star to discuss her beloved latex outfits.
‘We have met Kim and chatted about what she likes,’ he confirmed.
‘Atsko designs with 100 per cent the female body in mind, and of course Kim is just embodying the feminine shape right now.
‘[The outfits] are very feminine and very empowering.’
LMAO. Did Dencia just shade the heck out of Lupita Nyong'o?

"The company behind #TheDress has put the debate to bed -- it's blue and black -- and the hubbub has done wonders for its business ... thanks to the hashtag hysteria.
#TheDress phenomenon began after a woman posted a photo of her mother's dress for her wedding ... asking people to ID the color. From there...explosion with the likes of Justin Bieber (blue and black), Kim K (white and gold), and Taylor Swift (blue and black) all weighing in. Continue...
As for business, Roman Originals says sales are up 347%.
