"  Dior top, $3,500 and pants, $1,100, 800-929-DIOR. Fashion Editor: Elissa Santisi  Julianne Moore has just arrived back at her hotel in L.A. after an Oscar nominees&amp;#039; luncheon. She is resplendent in a poppy-colored Prabal Gurung dress\u2014that perfect shade that makes redheads look as hot as a match. &amp;quot;My style has gotten better, hopefully,&amp;quot; she says, laughing. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like everything\u2014practice makes perfect. There was one year when my kids were little, and every time I was photographed, I was wearing a pair of cargo shorts, a T-shirt, and a bandanna. It was so bad, my publicist was like, &amp;#039;Get it together!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Moore got it together and then some. She has been dressing for the occasion for weeks, on a stilettoed, couture-clad sprint toward what became her first Oscar win for her performance as an Alzheimer&amp;#039;s sufferer in Still Alice. For an indie movie she shot in New York in one month last year (when given time off from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay\u2014Part 2), the red carpet has been rather longer. Moore will twirl as much as you like, but she ain&amp;#039;t doing no mani-cam. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m 54 years old,&amp;quot; she explains. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t make my fingers walk; it&amp;#039;s humiliating! And a guy asked me to lift up my skirt to show them my shoes, and I said, &amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t need to do that. Let&amp;#039;s keep some dignity.&amp;#039; &amp;quot; What Moore possesses is more than that\u2014a wonderful combination of innate grace and dorkiness. Her performance as a woman slipping away in Still Alice is astonishing. How does she not only disappear before our eyes but also disappear in hers? Her answer is a swift little honk: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know!&amp;quot; Moore&amp;#039;s diversity is remarkable. &amp;quot;Some people say, &amp;#039;You play happy people,&amp;#039; and I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;#039;No.&amp;#039; Or &amp;#039;You play people who have affairs,&amp;#039; and I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;#039;No.&amp;#039; Or &amp;#039;You play lesbians,&amp;#039; and I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;#039;No!&amp;#039; I&amp;#039;ve made 50-something movies, so there&amp;#039;s a lot of different people. I like really human stories.&amp;quot;  On the notion of grace, she is pragmatic. &amp;quot;The older you get, you have a clearer understanding about what you care about, what you value, and you begin to think laterally and not vertically. Who are these people around me; let me try to experience this. That&amp;#039;s what makes everything more valuable and more interesting.&amp;quot; Moore has a solid base of family: her partner (now husband) of 19 years, director Bart Freundlich, and their son, Cal, 17, and daughter Liv, 12. &amp;quot;It helps that the children are older,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;When I did this before\u2014all four of the other nominations\u2014my kids were babies. It&amp;#039;s easier doing it without an infant, put it that way.&amp;quot; She continues, &amp;quot;Poor Rosamund Pike. She just had a baby. It&amp;#039;s really tough. And she looks fucking awesome. But I&amp;#039;ve been there! With my daughter, I&amp;#039;d been nursing her almost a year, and one of my boobs conked out, so I was completely uneven.&amp;quot; Cutlets to the rescue? &amp;quot;Oh, yeah! It&amp;#039;s not glamorous at all, by the way.&amp;quot; Awards season also means fitting into your dress. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;d all be lying if we said we aren&amp;#039;t watching what we eat,&amp;quot; Moore says. &amp;quot;Of course we are! I think we&amp;#039;re also really stressed. I&amp;#039;m not a stress eater. I get nervous and I don&amp;#039;t eat. But, you know, I had a dress on the other day, and I said to my manager, &amp;#039;When you see my back fat sticking out, tuck it back in!&amp;#039; &amp;quot; Chuckle. &amp;quot;Be a friend.&amp;quot; Then there&amp;#039;s real life. When not shooting or red-carpeting, Moore stays close to home in downtown New York. &amp;quot;I have great kids. I have a great husband\u2014and I know it sounds queer! My son and daughter both play basketball, and my husband and I do our best to go to every game. We try to spend time as a family. We just try to be super involved in each other&amp;#039;s lives.&amp;quot; The four have been hitting the red carpet as a unit more often lately. Moore waves her hands around her fancy dress. &amp;quot;The fact that they get involved in all of this\u2014it&amp;#039;s a good thing!&amp;quot; Now, there&amp;#039;s glamorous, and then there&amp;#039;s fabulous. Ask who she admires, younger and older, and Moore replies, &amp;quot;Ellen Page [who stars as Moore&amp;#039;s girlfriend in the upcoming Freeheld]. Kristen Stewart, I just love her. Emma Stone is fabulous. I love Catherine Deneuve. I love Tilda Swinton.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;But,&amp;quot; she adds, &amp;quot;women are fabulous. I like our camaraderie, our similarities, how we collaborate. When my daughter was born, I looked at her in the bassinet and I said, &amp;#039;You&amp;#039;re one of us.&amp;#039; &amp;quot; She mists up. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to cry if I think about it too much. I had this little girl and was like, &amp;#039;Yup. You&amp;#039;re one of us. &amp;#039;&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
