Meryl Streep broke her losing streak at the Academy Awards by winning her third Best Actress Oscar. Although she's been nominated more than a dozen times, she hasn't brought home a golden statue since her last Best Actress nod for Sophie's Choice in 1983. However, her critically acclaimed portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady ultimately upset the heavily favored performance of Viola Davis in The Help.
The 62-year-old actress also broke taboos about growing older in Hollywood. Streep looked stellar in a liquid gold Lanvin gown with a plunging neckline--albeit no wardrobe malfunctions. Made from Eco Certified Fabric, her full-length threads participated in the evening's Green Carpet Challenge.
Streep struck more gold with her glowing complexion. It's not known how she or the other nominees nourish their luminous faces, but the following products help revitalize aging, sun-damaged or dull skin. Most of all, they give you the ability to look like a superstar at any age.
