New media darling Quvenzhané Wallis is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly‘s special “Oscar” issue.

The Beasts of the Southern Wild’s breakout star who is nominated for The Academy’s “Best Actress” award at the tender age of nine — which makes her the youngest ever to receive such an honor — enjoys engaging folks who want to feel some of the positive, youthful energy apparent in her toothy smile and radiant glow.

Here is what Black Celebrity Kids had to say about young Quvenzhané’s honors:

Her performance has left viewers from the Cannes to the Sundance Film Festivals in love with her portrayal of the lead role Hushpuppy, so much so that she has since won awards such as breakthrough performance from the 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala to winning Best Young Actor/Actress at the Critic’s Choice Movie Awards. Now the young actress has made Academy Award history as the youngest person ever to be nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Quvenzhane is not ready to rest on her current success, having already landed her next role in the upcoming film, Twelve Years A Slave.”

Can’t help but enjoy her accession …

When it comes to kids’ fashion, Kiernan Shipka rules the red carpet, but there’s a new kid, with an equally hard name to pronounce, on the block; Quvenzhane Wallis.

Last week she attended the 2013 Film Independent Filmmaker Grant and Spirit Awards Nominees Brunch at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood wearing Stella McCartney.

The striped floral knit sweater dress from the designers Fall 2012 kids collection was styled with black tights and black booties.

Showcasing her flare for fashion she styled her look with a fuchsia sequin bag and an orange floral hair accessory.

The youngest star to be nominated for an Oscar will no doubt have many designers clamouring to create her frock for the event.

I have a feeling Mr Oscar de la Renta will be whipping up a cute little Oscar frock for this young cutie as we speak.
