Ahead of the Oscars 2013 we caught up with Anna about how she masters award season dressing and the biggest red carpet fashion show of them all, the Oscars. Despite regularly hitting style highs, the actress refused to take any of the credit for her wardrobe.

‘It’s nice to have somebody there to say it’s ok to wear a backless dress that’s long with embellishments - you’re not going to explode.’
