"With her timeless beauty (those cheekbones!) and elegant ease at wearing just about any silhouette, Cate Blanchett has long ruled as the top red carpet fashion crush for Us.\r\n\r\nThe two-time Oscar winner has just added another reason to heart her. Blanchett, 44, has recently taken on the role as the ambassador of Giorgio Armani&amp;apos;s newest fragrance, Si. Ahead of the perfume&amp;apos;s launch, she reflected on her longtime collaboration with the designer&amp;#x2014;and revealed her favorite red carpet dress of all time to Us Weekly.\r\nPHOTOS: Copy Cate&amp;apos;s beauty look from the Oscars 2014\r\nFor Blanchett, her relationship with Armani goes back before the two even met. &amp;quot;With my first paycheck I bought an Armani suit, which I still have and wear,&amp;quot; the Blue Jasmine star told Us.\r\n\r\nMore recently, though, Blanchett has opted for dressier options by the Italian designer. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s the master of authentic and natural sophistication. His clothes are always sensual but pared down,&amp;quot; she says of Armani. &amp;quot;And I feel like myself in them. I never feel like the gown is wearing me.&amp;quot;\r\nOne gown in particular stands out among all of the others. &amp;quot;To the Golden Globes I wore the most beautiful black lace gown,&amp;quot; she says of the Armani Prive dress from the 2014 awards show, during which she won for Best Actress. &amp;quot;But the way it was held together&amp;#x2014;how it was held together&amp;#x2014;it was a magical creation. It felt like the lace was poured on, and it fit like a glove.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn her day-to-day life, the mother of three (Dashiell, 12, Roman, 10, and Ignatius, 6) applies the same rules but with more casual clothes. &amp;quot;Perhaps I&amp;apos;m a bit cleaner on the red carpet than I am at 7 o&amp;apos;clock in the morning on a school day,&amp;quot; she jokes. &amp;quot;I think my own look is pretty unembellished, and it depends how rushed I am when heading out the door,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;But you always want to feel like yourself.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
