It’s been forever and a day since we’ve had new Cate Blanchett photos. She’s been in Australia for a while, doing plays and being a mom and running a theatre with her husband. So these photos are so wonderful – she was in Switzerland to shill a watch, just like Gwyneth was. But notice the difference in style – where Goopy looked like a greasy mess clinging to youth through Botox and a frilly, girly dress, Cate looks stylish, classic, mature-yet-ageless and impeccable. The outfit is Dries Van Noten – I love when she wears a menswear-inspired look. So chic.
A few more people were there for this watch launch or whatever. Matthew Fox is rocking new facial hair. I kind of hate it.
And Elle Macpherson overdressed completely. She’s trying to draw attention away from La Blanchett, and it’s just not happening. You have to be a delusional, narcissistic bitch to think that you can draw attention away from Cate.

I heart Cate. She rocks.

Cate looks fantastic! She really pulls off that androgynous look so well.
Ewww to Matthew’s goatee…

She looks a little Annie Lennox-ish but slightly more feminine. I love her so I’m good with it.
Matthew Fox has totally lost the hotness. The haircut and the facial hair – not working for him.

Classic.

Looks great. Though I think it would be more sophisticated chic if the pants were more form-fitting.

Off topic, isn’t it about time for the making of the third movie about Queen Elizabeth I?

She is very beautiful and a terrific actress but that outfit does absolutely nothing for her. OTOH I get a feeling she’s not concerned with fashion all that much.

Goatees should have died with the year 1995.

Cate sometimes makes choices that are so edgy you can hardly look at them, but I love the top on this. Pants? Not so much. I think they should be a tad less starched looking; a bit looser. Plus I’m not a huge fan of white bottom/black top. Prefer white/black. But you all don’t care about my fashion rules . . . Cate doesn’t. She’s my hero.
Elle McPherson looks like she’s wearing an Addidas track dress.

I agree she does look like Annie Lennox. I love her haircut but hate the hair color. It is too harsh against her beautiful skin.

She (Cate) would rock the dress AJ was wearing during the GGs.
She truly is a beauty.

Gorgeous. Perfect. When I die, I want to come back as Cate.

She looks wonderful, with the exception of the lipstick. Not a fan of that shade on her!

Love the outfit.
I like her hair a dark auburn. It compliments her coloring so much better.
The yellow blonde is never flattering. For anyone.

Classic elegance most def! Such a stunning and strikingly beautiful woman

Cate is an advertisement for using sunblock, young ladies. Look at Elle. They’re about the same age, but Cate still has her gorgeous skin and Elle looks like leather.

Elle’s face is 3-4 shades lighter than the rest of her body.
Cate is simply gorgeous.

I like Cate’s top, but can do without white pants.
As someone mentioned already, that starched look is strange, I have no idea what they actually did to the fabric to make it look like that.

@photo jojo…Thank you!! The lipstick is atrocious!
Cate is simply gorgeous and I love the outfit…I do not understand the makeup, though. At all.

LOVE Cate, love the outfit, but the hair orange-ish hair and neon pink lipstick, no.
Also love the NO botox, she’s serene and confident and there’s nothing hotter than that.

Needs tighter pants, but she’s lovely in this. Lipstick is great; hair notsomuch. Matthew Fox looks like the neighborhood sex offender. Do not want.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
classy. she has a beautiful figure but she’s not half naked in switzerland in the winter. erhm, paltry, pay attention.
the lipstick color is a bit funky. maybe because of the hair color/skin tone; i like her more natural mouthed. the coat should have a been a lighter/different color with the white pants. too contrasty.
just nit picking. she rocks it way better than 99% of them out there.
elle on the other hand. ugh. insecure enough to need to prove she still has an amazing shape. WE KNOW ALREADY! boringly trashy. fail.

She IS a Queen as far as I am concerned.

She is perfection. She nails every look, and this was no exception. There are fashion people, and fashion wannabes. Cate is IT. She’ll be the shit when she’s 90… (Oh, and I actually adore the bright lipstick.)

While I think she’s overrated, craftwise, she does always look good on the carpet. At least she’s not trying to be some tits out aging hooker like exhibit A, that other peice- wasn’t she a model once or something? Bleuurrggh. Disgraceful.

Agree with most of the comments about the pants. Love the rest. Dries van Noten is one of my favorite designers, esp his necklaces, which are fabulous pieces of art.
Cate is fabulous, too.

MacPherson can wear what she wants she fades into the background with the Jennifer Annistons of showbiz, and even moreso next to Cate

Cate has such a great style, love it. She doesn’t have to show too much skin or look slutty and she’s beautiful. She’s a great actress too.

Wow, it looks like I’m the ONLY one who doesn’t care for this outfit.
There’s just not enough ‘balance’ in the top & bottom. It just looks… odd.

I love Cate’s acting and I think she has an unusual kind of beauty, but am I the only one who finds her pleasant, but a bit overly serious?
Everything about her — her hair, her posture, her makeup, screams “I am a serious actor” — as if there was ever a doubt.

Love her look – whatever she wears looks classy and elegant. She truly flies the flag for intelligence and talent. A great ambassador for Australia and a wonderful actress as well. Why is she not on the cover of every magazine instead of a Kardashian???
