We've Got Our Fingers Crossed These 7 Dresses Make an Appearance at the Oscars

"One of my favorites to watch for on the red carpet is Cate Blanchett. The Aussie beauty has a knack for pulling off gowns with unusual accents and silhouettes. From heavy beading to intense fringe, her looks are always straddling the line between classic and avant-garde. While she may choose an understated gown for this Sunday night, I would love to see her amaze us one more time, with an eccentric piece. The following Oscar de la Renta skillfully accented with floral appliqués would suit her beautifully."
