Cate Blanchett's Daring & Detail-Oriented Style (PHOTOS, POLL)

If there's one leading lady who doesn't get as much red carpet fashion cred as she deserves, it's Cate Blanchett. Her effortless, chameleon-esque style allows her to take risks, opting for daring silhouettes with stunning detailing. She's not one to shy away from color or statement jewels, which we think is a winning combination.

Take a look at some of Cate's red carpet ensembles over the years and let us know which ones you think are fab and which are flops.

She doesn't go unnoticed to me.

She looks better and better every year. SHE does. Not necessarily the clothing.

Cate Blanchett has such amazing style and impeccable taste. She never looks vulgar or like she's trying to hard and I love that she is not afraid to take risks. And she is one of the few actresses who can truly pull-off couture.

She always looks amazing and unique. Her unique, very etheral face, lean and pale body can carry on the best of the best couture, without looking like its wearing her.

My favorite actress ever since "Elizabeth." She always looks great, except for, as many have already pointed out, the crochet disaster.

I don't know about the plastic surgery. I think she's just more gaunt over the years and has better hair and makeup people. Gorgeous style...except the afghan...barf.

Hit and miss style. Mostly miss.

Her nose too.

Chin also.

I don't really get alot of what she wears, though she's beautiful no matter what she has on. But if my Mom had tried to make me wear the "Granny Squares" dress I would have run away from home.

Is that her husband in some of those photos? Does she have children? I hope they favor her.

Yes and yes. In one picture, she was pregnant in early 2008.

I don't care what this incredibly talented woman wears. She has the most beautiful, magical eyes I have ever seen.

She is one classy and beautiful lady. And a brilliant actress. My favorite is her as Galadriel in the LOTR series.

She nailed it 85% of the time.
We are entitled to a few bad choices.

I was wonder where the afghan went.

I love Cate Blanchett's style.  She doesn't play by conventional rules and she looks fabulous, it doesn't matter the event or the year.  Her style is unique, just like her.  Impeccable.
