A LOOK AT ANGELINA JOLIE'S OSCAR-COURTING OUTFIT CHOICES

The New York Times—whose Vanessa Friedman writes that Angie's recent "seriousness of wardrobe" has been "strategic"—seems to think so.

Obama Breaks His Own Rule to Wear a Tiara With Girls Scouts
Last year when the Navy football team presented him with a custom-fitted helmet, Obama declined to wear it. "Here's the general rule: You don't put stuff on your head if you're president," he said. "That's politics 101. You never look good wearing something on your head."
But a group of Girl Scouts got him to do something Navy couldn't. White House photographer Pete Souza shared this photo on Instagram with the following caption: "Still editing 2014 Year in Photos. I may include this one even though it's a posed photo. This is from the annual White House Science Fair. The kids from Girl Scout Troop 2612 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, convinced the President to wear a tiara with them for their group photo. The girls had exhibited a Lego flood proof bridge project."
