While the Oscars® should be a time to celebrate and feel proud, Laura says that can be difficult. "There are a lot of people that come at you hard and fast because they're excited for you, but you can get distracted and really forget," she says.

Despite the pressures that could come with the big night, Laura only has one wish for the red carpet. "My goal is to be able to look back on these photos in 20 years and go, 'God, I was young and looked good.'"
