Australian actress Cate Blanchett led stars attending Giorgio Armani’s floral-inspired runway show at Milan Fashion Week.
Australian cinematic darling Cate Blanchett lit up the front row at Giorgio Armani’s Milan Fashion Week showcase on Sunday, bringing her signature sophisticated elegance to the storied Italian fashion house. Clad in a tactile midnight blue velvet suit with button adornments, Ms. Blanchett embodied laidback refinement. The Oscar winner, 54, donned a dark teal, velvet trouser suit paired with a white shirt, which toned in with the fabrics and colours showcased on the catwalk on Sunday.
The structured jacket featured notch lapels and front flap pockets, skimming Ms. Blanchett’s slender frame before giving way to matching bootcut trousers that whispered around her ankles. Beneath, a plunging ivory silk shirt provided an alluring pop of brightness. A swinging statement pendant necklace introduced a touch of drama, while on her feet, classic black pumps lent a subtle boost in height.
Ms. Blanchett’s beauty look underscored her innate glamour, with tousled platinum waves framing her fine features and a natural, luminous complexion allowing her innate luminosity to shine through. Though a seasoned front row fixture, Ms. Blanchett delighted photographers with her poise and warmth, mingling effortlessly with fellow attendees. Her blonde tresses were styled in loose waves just above her shoulders and she opted for a natural makeup look to show off her pretty features.
Indeed, modeling the easy sophistication intrinsic to Giorgio Armani’s aesthetic vision, Ms. Blanchett once again affirmed her fashion authority. Her latest elegant turn cements her status as one of the most compelling and consistent arbiters of style on the celebrity circuit.
Joining Ms. Blanchett at the show was fellow thespian Aaron Taylor-Johnson, suited in Armani and accompanied by his filmmaker wife Sam Taylor-Johnson. The stylish couple cozied up for cameras, matching Ms. Blanchett in their artful polish.
Ms. Blanchett’s showstopping appearance comes on the heels of intrigue surrounding her marital status after recent public outings without her wedding ring. Though Ms. Blanchett and her playwright husband Andrew Upton typically remain discreet regarding their private life, choosing to let their creative accomplishments speak for themselves, speculation was sparked earlier this month when the couple listed their Melbourne abode of over 20 years. Ms. Blanchett was then spotted sans wedding band at both the BAFTAs and the BIFAs in London. Despite recent rumblings, at Armani Ms. Blanchett appeared the picture of self-possession, centering her finest actorly assets – poise, warmth, mystique – as flawlessly as the ensembles she dons.
You look gorgeous😍✨❤ Cate Blanchett
