Nobody can wear a dramatic gown quite like Cate Blanchett. The 47-year-old actress makes wearing bold red carpet outfits seem effortless, even though these gowns are notoriously difficult to pull off.

At the IWC Gala in London, Cate was stunning in a Gucci gown pulled straight off the runway. Cate’s gorgeous monochrome dress was from the Gucci Spring 2017 collection, which was showcased on the Milan runway barely three weeks ago.

We adore the ruffled top paired with the sleek black skirt. The red silky belt accent adds fierce color to the black-and-white palette.
Our only issue with this ensemble is the leather watch on Cate’s left wrist—it looks totally out of place in this glamorous ensemble.
