Nine-year-old star Quvenzhane Wallis may be the Academy's youngest ever nominee, but that won't stop her from making a fashion statement. Walking the Oscars red carpet Sunday night, the young and talented "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star accessorized her beautiful midnight blue Armani dress with one of her signature puppy purses.
