WHO WORE WHAT?.....86th Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet Predictions: Cate Blanchett

Actress Cate Blanchett

The "Blue Jasmine" Academy Award-nominated Actress, Cate Blanchett, is a Fashion Muse--with her perfect model stature, lean figure and almost regal demeanor. Although Blanchett is known to be an Armani loyal fan and wore one of his creations beautifully at the 2014 Golden Globes, she has worn different designers lately. Of note, she looked fabulous in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci at the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards... 

Blue Jasmine Ball Gowns: Two looks from Armani Prive Spring 2014 Haute Couture collection

For Sunday's 2014 Academy Awards, I think she will go back to Armani and specifically Armani Prive Spring 2014. The designer's collection showed lots of strapless ball gowns that Blanchett would easily wear and look marvelous in (sans the couture sequined "shower cap" of course!). These gowns are very "safe" even for Blanchett's fashion-forward standards but I feel that for such a big night, she might go that route. Would I rather hope she went the non-safe fashion route? Yes, definitely. But, we will soon see on Sunday.
