Malala Yousafzai graced the Oscars welcome carpet in head-to-toe sparkling sequins before revealing pop star Rihanna would be most likely to make her “fangirl” at this year’s awards.

The activist and campaigner, 25, stood with her husband in a silver, sequined, long-sleeved gown with gathered detailing at the midriff and a matching hijab.
