2014 Independent Spirit Awards: Cate Blanchett & Lupita Nyong'o Wish List

 Cate Blanchett as you no can almost always do no wrong in my eyes, but she did have  a slight misstep in metallic silver Prada at the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon on Monday. On the day prior to the biggest night in film, the Academy Awards, a host of celebrities will take to the red carpet at the Independent Spirit Awards to honor films that didn't have big studio backing to make them. Cate Blanchett is nominated for Best Female Lead for her work in 'Blue Jasmine,' which also has her in the short list to take home another Academy Award. The Spirit Awards is a much more laid back event and I think that this black Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture jumpsuit with a white blazer with a punched through fabric. Cate does two types of looks on the red carpet. She either goes for a vintage inspired glamorous look or one that brings an edge. This Dior ensemble would be one that brings an edgy moment to the sophisticated Australian actress. I would just pair this look with a pair of bright blue Christian Dior Resort 2014 pointed toe pumps and a bold red lip to give an elegant yet edgy red carpet moment for Cate at the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards on March 1st.

Lupita Nyong'o is another woman that I have fallen in love with on the red carpet. There is really no wrong that the stunning Kenyan actress can do when she takes to the red carpet. While the Spirit Awards are more laid back I think that this black Valentino Spring 2014 Couture tulle cocktail dress with a ballerina skirt would be a perfect choice for the Best Supporting Female nominee. Lupita is the front runner to take home this award and I believe that she will bring it till she takes home her little gold man at the Academy Awards the night after this event. A pair of black sandals and simple makeup will make this look all about the dress and the presence that Lupita has on the red carpet.
