At her very first SAG Awards, Blanchett wore a white beaded midi dress featuring a sheer overlay, adding on a pair of metallic high-heeled sandals.

In 2005, Blanchett donned a strapless black satin gown with a rosette appliqué, accessorizing with open-toe heels and silver bracelets.
She won her second SAG Award at the ceremony, scoring Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for “The Aviator.” The actress played Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese’s biopic about film producer and pilot Howard Hughes.
“I wore a really tight dress that’s very ungracious walking up those stairs,” Blanchett said in her acceptance speech.
2007
Blanchett selected a glimmering gold gown for the 2007 SAG Awards. She also added on a statement necklace, a black clutch and satin peep-toe heels featuring sparkling platforms.
That year, she was nominated for two awards: Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for “Babel” and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for “Notes on a Scandal.”

Blanchett put a high-fashion spin on maternitywear at the 2008 SAG Awards, wearing Balenciaga. Designed by former creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, her strapless gown featured floral embroidery. Diamond and emerald drop earrings completed Blanchett’s look.
