Why Jenna Dewan Tatum Is Saving Her Oscars Dress for Her Daughter

Jenna Dewan Tatum is one fashionable mom, and it looks like her daughter is already following in her footsteps!

The actress recently spoke to InStyle magazine, and revealed that she’s been saving a few special pieces she’s worn for her 3-year-old daughter, Everly, including one of the gowns she wore to the Academy Awards with husband Channing Tatum.

Read on to find out the sweet reason behind the decision, as well as the other items the star is saving for her little girl.

​

Dewan Tatum sported this gorgeous black lace Rachel Roy gown at the 2013 Academy Awards, and revealed she’s saving it for her daughter for a very special reason.

“I actually kept the red carpet dress I wore at the Oscars — this black dress when I was pregnant — for her just so she could have that, because I thought that’s neat, that she wasn’t born yet but she went to the Oscars,” the actress explained.

​

Dewan Tatum added that she has quite a collection for her daughter already.

“I have my wedding dress,” she shared. “I have some pieces of jewelry to give to her, and lots of memorabilia that I’m keeping for her, for sure.”

​

Dewan Tatum dished that her daughter is already developing a strong sense of style, and even gives her mom wardrobe approval.

“She’s pretty used to it because I’ve done it since she was born, so she’s got a really good eye. I know when something is really a good look because she’ll go, ‘Ooh, mommy,’ and she has this little tone. Normally she’s like, ‘Oh mommy, ok bye! Love you. You look pretty.’ It’s kind of like, ‘no thanks,’” she joked.

“But every now and then … There was this blue sequined Zuhair [Murad] dress I wore to Globes, I think last year, and when I put that on it was like I was Elsa to her, and that was pretty cool.”
