Just when we think Cate Blanchett can't get any better, she goes ahead and tops our expectations with her 2014 Oscars dress. The actress walked the red carpet wearing a nude Armani Privé dress topped off with dozens of Swarovski crystals.
Perfect.
Blanchett — nominated for Best Actress for her role in Blue Jasmine — topped off her look with soft waves on her shoulder-length hair and jewels by Chopard.
The Australian actress's easy-breezy style is a result of not caring about what others think of it.
"A badge of honor," she told the Huffington Post of the pride she takes in being on worst-dressed lists. "Because if you're worried about that stuff, you can tell. I mean, I've had some doozies, they don't always work. But who are you dressing for? You can't always dress for US Magazine."
That's advice we can all put to use.
