"&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nCate Blanchett knows how to make a statement on the red carpet and her message on Wednesday night seemed to be: I&amp;apos;m a &amp;quot;Star Wars&amp;quot; fan.\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe 43-year-old Australian actress appeared to be inspired by Princess Leia minus the side buns at the U.K. premiere of &amp;quot;The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.&amp;quot; Her white, floor-length Givenchy gown featured a turtleneck top, fitted waist, and bell sleeves a la Carrie Fisher&amp;apos;s famed ensemble. However, the edgy couture gown was over-the-top glam and subtly sexy. It featured a large cut-out on the back and a va-va-voom thigh slit to show off Blanchett&amp;apos;s long legs. It also had gold cuff and shoulder accents.\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nBut no side hair twists for Blanchett! The Academy Award-winning star, who plays royal elf Galadriel in the movie franchise, opted to style her blond locks in a loose bun.\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n[Related: Which celeb split in 2012 surprised you most?

And if she&amp;apos;s short on costume ideas when she takes her sons trick-or-treating next Halloween, she could certainly recycle this dress, pin up her hair, and the force would most certainly be with her.\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nMore celebrity features on Yahoo!:\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nVictoria&amp;apos;s Secret Models Mangle &amp;apos;Deck the Halls&amp;apos;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nTaylor Swift&amp;apos;s 23rd Birthday Includes Fun With Harry Styles, a Golden Globe Nomination, and a Video Release\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nHollywood&amp;apos;s Four-Legged Scene Stealers (Video)\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\nFollow omg! on Twitter\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
