Jimmy Choo has ruled the red carpet so far this awards season, and the brand will undoubtedly be a hit at the Academy Awards on Feb. 28. Here, Spy catches up with Jimmy Choo Creative Director Sandra Choi to chat about her Oscar faves and red carpet reviews.

Who are you rooting for to win Best Picture?
“‘Carol.’ It’s a captivating film from start to finish and has two of my favorite actresses — Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. Their performances are powerful and beautiful.”

Your choice for Best Actress?
“Rooney Mara — modernity for a woman coming of age. She is definitely one to watch. I love her attitude and style.”

Which trend and Jimmy Choo shoe do you see being a top red carpet pick?
“The trend over the past few years is for pared-down, minimal silhouettes. I’m predicting that Tizzy — our sleek new ankle-tie stiletto — will be a favorite this year.”
