Her fashion sense has been lambasted, but that's not going to stop her from going all out at the Academy Awards.

"Of course I'll have fun. It's probably going to be a catastrophe!" Carter told Us at Monday's Oscar nominee luncheon in Beverly Hills. "I'm going to go for it."


The 44-year-old actress's Vivienne Westwood dress and mismatched shoes at the Golden Globes in January were the brunt of many jokes, and she says she'll tone down one outfit choice after that experience.

"I promise you I'll wear the same color shoes," she laughed.

The King's Speech actress hasn't yet settled on a dress, but we are sure her pick will be something fabulously shocking!
