With awards show season in full swing, our favorite red carpet stars are top of mind. And this year, we’re obsessing over Cate Blanchett, because she never disappoints. While her perfect performances on-screen have gained her all kinds of accolades (hello, Carol), its her chameleonlike off-screen fashion choices that have truly cemented her as our modern-day icon. Here, we break down her couture and casual style.

Couture by Cate
In a sea of celebrities on the red carpet, Cate is effortlessly elegant yet daring – a feat she nails so consistently that she has become the one to watch at awards shows. Case in point? The white Ralph Lauren Collection gown she wore to a celebration at Windsor Castle in 2014, and the black Margiela by John Galliano column gown she wore to the 87th Academy Awards. The only thing we’re left wondering: What will she wear next?

Casual by Cate
Cate’s take on laid-back style is anything but – no dressed-down denim and slip-on sneakers here. Her off-duty style is all about keeping it sleek with tailored, fashion-forward separates. Here, she goes for a neutral color story, adding some structured elements to her slouchy outfit with a sharp blazer. Signature cat-eye shades and a top-handle bag finish the polished daytime look.
