Cate Blanchett showcases her eccentric style at “Benjamin Button” premiers
I’ve missed Cate Blanchett. There were a few months there where she wasn’t in anything and didn’t have any movie premiers to attend. She was probably having babies, which as a rule is what she does during her down time. Now she’s back on the scene, promoting her new film with Brad Pitt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Thank heavens! Here’s an outfit that landed her on Go Fug Yourself:
Not so surprising really; we all know the woman LOVES metallics. Looks a little like a Christmas ornament. The flesh-tone nylon peeking out kind of bugs me, but without it the dress might be painful. It appears to be a mosaic, and as we all learned in Art History 101, mosaics are made of broken glass pieces. So who knows if she can even sit down?

Next Blanchett donned a pleated aluminum foil flapper dress (or is it fish scales?), also garnering her a place on Go Fug. I don’t think this is terrible or fabulous, maybe a tad unflattering in the shin area. Let’s hope that for her next event, Cate goes wild and wears a color. Shiny’s great once in awhile, but it’s time for a new fashion infatuation.
