The 90th Annual Academy Awards are happening March 4, and while the performances were great, we are *stoked* for the red carpet! The Best Actress category this year includes a mix of newcomers and familiar faces alike, and we're taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane to look back on the style evolutions of each of the five leading ladies.
Sally Hawkins: The Shape of Water nominee showed up at the 64th Venice Film Festival in 2007 for the premiere of her film Cassandra's Dream wearing this black taffeta number with matching pumps and a mid-aughts-appropriate wide-waist belt. (Photo via Franco Origlia/Getty)
The 41-year-old actress has come leaps and bounds from her early onscreen days, but she's still unafraid to take risks with her red carpet looks. She wore this Dior Couture striped gown, which she paired with Irene Neuwirth earrings, a red clutch by Tyler Ellis, and Stuart Weitzman pumps to the 2018 SAG Awards just last month.

Saoirse Ronan: Ronan, who's nominated for her role in Lady Bird, was just 12 when she auditioned for her breakout role in Atonement. Here she is attending the UK premiere of the film in 2007 wearing an angelic yet age-appropriate dress and white flats with her hair pulled back. Adorable. (Photo via Dave Hogan/Getty)
At 23 years of age, Ronan is a veteran actress with over a decade's worth of credits (and THREE Oscar nominations!) under her belt. The Irish actress most recently stunned at the SAG Awards on January 21 in this pink-lilac long-sleeve gown by Louis Vuitton. And gone are the sweet ballet flats of yore; she paired her dress with some Christian Louboutin platforms. (Photo via Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)
Margot Robbie: Before we knew her as Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, Robbie starred on popular Australian TV show Neighbours. The then 19-year-old showed up at the TV Week Logie Awards in 2009 wearing this high-low black and orange number that screams early 2000s. Anyone else getting a Halloween-y vibe?

Talk about a style evolution! Robbie looked absolutely impeccable at the SAG Awards in an elegant Miu Miu baby-pink gown with feather details. She kept the rest of her look simple with a silver clutch and a loose, wavy lob. (Photo via Steve Granitz/WireImage)
Meryl Streep: Streep holds an Academy Award record of being nominated a staggering 21 times, but her very first time attending the show was in 1979, when she was nominated for her role in Deer Hunter. She wore this black boho-style dress with flouncy sleeves and a chain handbag. (Photo via Ron Galella/WireImage)
Most recently, she's been nominated for her role in The Post, and she wore a sharp Alexander McQueen suit to the London premiere of the film last month. She also slipped on a pair of Alexandre Birman pumps and drop earrings by Lorraine Schwartz. (Photo via Karwai Tang/WireImage)
Frances McDormand: Dormand attended the 1989 D.W. Griffith Awards wearing an oh-so-'80s black blazer (check out those shoulder pads!), which she accessorized with a shiny brooch and a classic red lip. (Photo via Ron Galella/WireImage)
Nowadays, McDormand usually opts out of walking red carpets, but here she is attending the NYC premiere of her film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which garnered her her fifth Oscar nod, in November 2017. For the occasion, the 60-year-old actress wore a statement-making long red coat and a pair of black boots. (Photo via Rahav Segev/Getty)

Your relationship with your finances is one of the most important relationships you'll ever have, and you can't avoid it. That said, for many of us, the pandemic only added to our financial stress. If you find yourself feeling frazzled, just remember that financial insecurity isn't a net-worth issue — it's a mindset issue. And, we happen to have plenty of advice on how to turn your money mindset around so you can take charge of your funds once and for all.
To start, feeling secure begins with a strong foundation, and there's no better time than now to get started stacking the bricks. It's easy to get swept up in the January "new year, new me" mentality, but really? Any time is the right time to get yourself in order. You don't need to wait for a new year, a new moon, the right moment, or a sign from above. You don't even have to start on the first day of the month — you just need to start.
Introducing NerdWallet: A Safe and Reliable Money App
To help with that, we've put together a list of the just-right-for-you ways that NerdWallet can help you monitor your financial outlook. Haven't heard of them yet? NerdWallet is a personal finance company that helps consumers make smarter financial decisions. Their website and app let you compare different financial products, find articles and tools to make financial decisions with confidence, and keep tabs on your finances (hey there, credit score, I see you!) all in one place. Plus, NerdWallet has over 75,000 glowing reviews in the App Store (and a 4.8 star rating) if you want to read up on any more testimonials.
Tim Chen, NerdWallet's CEO and co-founder, started this financial journey in 2009 after his sister needed help finding a credit card. Even with an economics degree and a Wall Street background, it took awhile for Tim to find the right recommendation (so don't feel too bad when it takes you a while, too). Their mission is to bring clarity to all of life's financial decisions.
So it's safe to say that NerdWallet is a pretty good sherpa for your journey, too.
Get the most from your money
Did you know that the money you park in a savings account can lose value? Harsh, but true. If your money isn't earning interest that's on pace with inflation it will actually be worth less to you in the future. And if the bank charges fees? Forget about it. Make sure you're earning the interest you deserve and come out on top. NerdWallet has researched dozens of financial institutions to help consumers find the best options. The hard work has already been done for you, so you can just select the account that works best for you and your nest egg.
Keep an eye on everything, securely
Once everything is set up, tracking and managing your finances is what will keep the money machine running smoothly. You can create an account either through the site or the app and link your bank accounts, then keep tabs on all your finances in one place. Get a clear picture of your saving and spending, get insights into how to master your money, and even build your credit score all in one place.
Get extra credit points
Do you have the best credit card for your lifestyle? Some cards give cash back on every purchase, ones with travel perks, and ones that charge way less interest than you're paying now. NerdWallet takes the guesswork out of choosing the right credit card with simple side-by-side comparisons of different credit cards so that you feel confident choosing the right one. Whatever you want to do, NerdWallet can help you find the best credit card to get it done.
Know your options for settling down
Mortgage rates are pretty low and it looks like they're going to stay that way for awhile, so buying a home might be the move sooner than you think. But there's so much more to a mortgage than just the interest rate! To help you choose a mortgage lender, NerdWallet has in-depth reviews on multiple lenders in a mixture of categories so you get the home loan with the mortgage rate, term, and fees that's right for you.
Settle an old score
NerdWallet helps you monitor your credit score for free and helps you see how little things (like raising the limit on your credit card or paying your bills on time) can increase your score. NerdWallet partners with TransUnion® to provide your VantageScore® 3.0, based on information in your TransUnion® credit report. Your score and credit report information are updated weekly. But that's not even close to all:
- They provide you with tips from experts on how you could build or optimize your credit score
- You'll get a detailed look at your credit score and all the factors that go into it—your payment history, credit utilization, the age and type of accounts, balances, and any recent inquiries
- The credit simulator tool gives you an idea of how your credit score would change if you applied for a new credit card, closed your oldest credit card, or got a new auto loan
- You also get free, unlimited access to your credit report
When it comes to managing your money, safe and reliable is where it's at. Establishing a healthy relationship with your finances begins when you take control and practice habits that build wealth. Signing up just takes a few minutes. Set your intentions to build a solid financial foundation, it will only strengthen your relationship with your finances. And don't be afraid to get a little nerdy while you're at it.
