We see Cate Blanchett on the big screen every year, and she always stars in hit movies. She also never fails to get nominations from different award-giving bodies.

This is proof that the 44-year-old is one great actress! This year, we will first see her in Blue Jasmine, a drama film directed by Woody Allen.

Stepping into Jasmine French’s Shoes

The story of Jasmine French in “Blue Jasmine,” portrayed by Cate Blanchett, is a compelling narrative inspired by the real-life experiences of Ruth Madoff following the unraveling of Bernie Madoff’s notorious Ponzi scheme.

This backdrop provides a rich context for exploring themes of downfall, redemption, and the quest for identity amidst personal and financial ruin.

Fashion on the Red Carpet: Blanchett’s ‘Blue Jasmine’ Premiere Look

Aside from her acting skills, Cate has “talent” on the red carpet. Last year, we saw her in bold, chic gowns and dresses. Recently, it looks like Cate is more into class and sophistication. We saw her looking flawless in an all-black number a few days ago.

The sleek Alexander McQueen sleeveless gown features a drop waist styled with a black waistband and draping on the sides. Its minimalist, modern silhouette made it perfect, especially for the beautiful Australian actress.

The slit on Cate’s long dress gave us a peek at her heels — a pair of Christian Louboutins! Her “Lagoula” patent leather pumps boast a classic T-strap, peep-toe silhouette, and fishnet mesh insets. They’re edgy and flirty — a fun addition to a monochrome dress.
