Ape Cate Blanchett's elegant look

Actor Cate Blanchett rarely makes mistakes with her look on the red carpet. She created the same spark with her simple look on the red carpet at the Critics' Choice Awards that left many aping her style.

The 44-year-old, usually draped in couture at red carpet events, chose a simple Lanvin look that was brought to life through her accessories.

The forest green Pre-Fall 2014 t-shirt dress was pulled together with an embellished black belt and a pop of colour via her orange lips, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

T-shirt dresses are a simple but chic addition to the wardrobe that you need. And like Blanchett you can tailor it to your specific style with the accessories you choose.

Wear them with heels and a belt for a sleek evening look and add tights and your favourite boots for a look during the daytime. The ideal if you're heading out for a meal too, as they hide any bloated tummies.
