The Oscars are just a few short weeks away, so now's certainly the time when celebrities and their stylists are scurrying around for the perfect look to debut on the biggest red carpet of the year.

But in the case of American Horror Story and 12 Years a Slave star Sarah Paulson, who recently wore a tea-length creamy frock by Rochas to the 2014 SAG Awards, she's totally keeping her cool.

In fact, the blond star hasn't even selected a style for the major awards show yet, and doesn't seem to be fretting one bit.

"I do not have a dress picked out. I hope to have one soon. I'm very excited about whatever it may be," she told us candidly. "To be quite frank, I'd probably wear a paper sack because it's the Oscars and I'm going to be so excited to be sitting there, I won't care what I have on."

Wow, talk about a breath of fresh air!

Paulson's breezy attitude is irrefutably rare in Hollywood when an Oscar gown can make you or break you, and we're incredibly impressed with her laid-back approach to the main event.

Of course, there's certainly no telling what she'll end up in, as Paulson's preferred designers range from Marc Jacobs and Monique Lhuillier to Marchesa and Georges Hobeika, but we have noticed that she's consistently showing up in strapless silhouettes and midi-length full skirts.

We can't wait to see this talented star on the Oscars red carpet in March!
