Actress Cate Blanchett is celebrated for her unconventional, avant-garde awards-show fashion.

It dominated fashion headlines and soon thereafter, inspired knock-offs and Etsy reimaginings. Us Weekly promoted a $75 Blanchett-inspired jewelry giveaway.
"We didn’t plan on it," says Blanchett’s stylist, Elizabeth Stewart. "But it worked."
When it comes to Hollywood baubles, the motto is generally, "Go big or go home."
