Oscars 2014 fashion forecast: Elie Saab for Lupita Nyong'o, Valentino for Cate ... - The Star-Ledger

For style czars, the real Super Bowl is almost here — the red carpet at the 2014 Academy Awards. Since the spring 2014 haute couture shows in Paris in January, we've kept our eyes peeled on the runways for possible Oscar gowns, and here are some hot possibilities for Sunday night's leading ladies:


• "12 Years a Slave" star Lupita Nyong'o has already done Calvin Klein, Givenchy, Dior, Gucci, Ralph Lauren to incredible effect this awards season. What's left in her bucket list? Surely one of Elie Saab's ethereal creations. While the newcomer seems to favor cleaner lines, she may yet succumb to the allure of Saab's princess-y gowns come Oscar night — perhaps this cherry red confection?


• We all know Dior cover girl Jennifer Lawrence is obligated to wear something from the French fashion powerhouse, but designer Raf Simons' most recent couture collection, while technically impressive, didn't offer up any major red carpet possibilities. We predict she'll go custom, but in a perfect world, we'd love to see the ebullient star in the flouncy black-and-white polka dot gown that closed Oscar de la Renta's recent fall 2014 show.


• "August: Osage County" star Meryl Streep, who so often struggles on the red carpet, could take a cue from Emma Thompson's look at the recent Critics Choice Awards — rather than a gown, Thompson opted for a statement coat over a basic red dress. The butterfly-bedecked coat from Valentino's recent haute couture collection would a showstopper, and she could pair it with a simply cut, body-skimming sheath beneath.


Cate Blanchett is a fan of Valentino, and we've picked another look from the Italian house's spring couture collection for the "Blue Jasmine" star — a regal-looking caped gown with a wide, elaborately beaded collar in an unusual olive green.


Julia Roberts' recent red carpet track record is dismal, from her button-down gown to her hot pink jumpsuit. From what we've seen, boho seems to work for the "August: Osage County" actress, and Armani Prive's gypsy-influenced collection — deep blues and silvers embellished with lace, metallic thread and macro-paisley — would suit her to a T.


Amy Adams of "American Hustle" has been, appropriately enough, rocking a disco vibe all season. Badgley Mischka's glazed floral gowns from its fall 2014 collection are reminiscent of metallic flocked wallpaper of the '70s in the coolest possible way.


• Carolina Herrera's fall 2014 collection featured strong-shouldered but slim-lined gowns with unusual geometric beading. They're as chic and modern as "Gravity" star Sandra Bullock, and the burgundy would set off her dark hair and eyes beautifully.
