Helena Bonham Carter turned heads when she walked the red carpet Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 16, 2011 - and not just because she was nominated for her role in "The King's Speech." She wore a Vivienne Westwood gown with sunglasses, wild hair and mismatched shoes.
Now an Oscar nominee for that same role, Carter's off-beat style has become a red carpet signature this awards season and everyone is wondering what she'll wear to the Academy Awards on Feb. 27.
The best hint may be a look at some of her other red carpet looks this awards season. Here are a few:
