We all know Cate Blanchett isn’t really one to stick to classics when it comes to fashion, even if she’s a classic beauty.

In fact, the actress is quite known for trying out some pretty unconventional looks — some of them stemming from respected fashion giant, Chanel.

Cate bravely took to the red carpet at the Lancôme x BAFTA nominees party in a leather and lace number.

As unconventional as it is to wear leather to a formal event, it’s an even more unconventional route for the ever-poised Cate to take. But, she did, as always.
