Cate Blanchett in Louis Vuitton at the Tony Awards: the saddest look of the night?

wenn24562053

Cate Blanchett is a BIG theater person, having run the Sydney Theatre Company for many years. She got her start in Australia’s theater community, and she’s been on Broadway and on the London stage before. Cate came out for last night’s Tony Awards in this Louis Vuitton look which makes me sad. She loves experimental fashion, she loves “difficult” looks, but this is one of those rare times when she doesn’t really pull it off. This Vuitton makes me sad for Cate’s boobs. Those sad cups! And this just isn’t flattering on her at all. From the neck up, she looks great though.

Michelle Williams also wore Louis Vuitton – this is sort of simple and flattering. I like her styling too, especially the deep red lipstick. And her date for the Tonys was her BFF Busy Phillips!

Anna Wintour and her daughter came out for the Tonys. Anna wore Schiaparelli and Bee Schaffer wore Erdem. I like Wintour’s look a lot more, but I really think they should have coordinated their looks a bit so their prints wouldn’t clash.

Diane Lane in a zebra-print jumpsuit, just because. I love Lane and this ‘70s-housewife style is amazing to me.

Lena Hall in Zac Posen. Love it! She’s so tall and elegant.

Jourdan Dunn in Zac Posen. I love the color, but Posen’s designs are so overworked.

    Cate Blanchett’s fashion is almost always terrible, but this might be a new low.

    • MrsBPitt says:

      I agree…and she needs to wash some of that black eyeliner off her face…it’s TOO much!

      • Hudson Girl says:

        Regarding her face- Botox and fillers were obvious last night. It’s so much easier to tell when they are speaking vs. still photos.

        Where’s the person who was arguing with me a few months ago that she hadn’t had any work done?! LOL.

    • meme says:

      Seriously…this is awful everywhere. Super fug.

      Michelle Williams is the best for me and man, what she amazing in Blackbird.

    • Flowerchild says:

      This +100000

    • Kate says:

      It looks like her kid drew a dress for her and then sent it off to one of those places that turns the artwork into a “reality”

    • Carol says:

      Cate looks like she’s auditioning for MadMax sequel. Everyone else looks mighty fine.

      Although Diane Lane kind of looks like she’s straight out of Mad Men 1960s or Valley of the Dolls. Very Jacqueline Suzanne

  2. Josephine says:

    Michelle looks so elegant – her look is the very clear winner. The rest range from unremarkable to awful!

  3. Lambda says:

    I’ve never seen an Erdem dress that I liked. He seems like such a hack, with all those pajama prints on badly tailored sacks. Frump couture.

  4. kiki says:

    Why do these celebrities have the nerve to wear the monstrosity of Louis Vitton dress. They are AWFUL. The designs are terrible and they look as though the person did patchwork. I can do better with this dress and I am not a seamstress. Someone needs to fire who design the dress because they are atrocious.

  5. Naya says:

    I dont follow fashion so this is a genuine question; are floral curtain dresses in or something.

    • annaloo. says:

      It seems to be Anna Wintour’s “thing”– I always notice that she’s in a flower print. When I see her I think Laura Ashley more than I do Yves St Laurent.

      Her worship of the Kardashians doesn’t help…Vogue really needs new blood in their editorial offices. It’s so boring.

  6. Justpassingby says:

    When did Michelle get bolt ons?

    • Starkiller says:

      They’re not bolt-ons, just a good push up bra. She’s always been fairly chesty for someone so slight, she just doesn’t normally dress to show them off.

  7. MissMerry says:

    I think Williams looks like a funnel with all that ruching in the front. Unflattering IMO.

  8. Danielle says:

    I liked cates dress except for the weird boob cups.

  9. MissMerry says:

    also Dunn is trying way too hard in that dress. It looks dramatic with the way it looks like the wind is blowing it, but she looks like she’s holding in pee and over-posing IMO.

  10. Jenny says:

    Diane Lane!! Yay!!

  11. Scal says:

    The worst look of the night goes to Allison Williams. Barf it was awful.

    Blanchett is a close second though.

  12. Melody says:

    (Runs in with battle axe to defend Blanchett honor)

    (Sees dress)

    (Slumps shoulders and trudges away dragging axe)

  13. Rachel says:

    What?!!!! Cate Blanchetts dress is boss, I’m in love with it!

  14. lucy2 says:

    90% of the time I think Cate can pull off the strangest fashion and knock it out of the park. This is one of the 10% times.
    I like Lena’s, it’s very bold.
    Overworked is an understatement for Jourdan’s.

  15. OriginallyBlue says:

    What is with LV and these patchwork dresses? They dressed Vikander in a similar ugly multifabric patchwork dress for the MET ball.

  16. OTHER RENEE says:

    Bee and her mother look like they’re wearing bedspreads. Busy looks like she’s wearing a picnic tablecloth. Michelle is stunning. Jordan and her dress are too try hard. Cate’s dress is too hideous for words… except for the word ‘hideois!”

  17. Jade says:

    Bee and Anna look terrible, why are they obsessed with floral curtains as dresses??

  18. Veronica says:

    I find the dress interesting – like a deconstruction of an actual garment. *shrugs* Fashion is subjective.

    The only thing I’d really change is the eyeliner. She’s getting to that age where the hooding of your eyelids makes the liner overwhelming.

  19. Talia says:

    You can put a garbage bag on Cate Blanchette and she will still pull it off.

  20. krtmom says:

    Cate usually looks fantastic but this is horrible! Michelle Williams hair looks great short, I’m glad she cut it!!!

  21. HK9 says:

    Cate’s dress is fug but the eyeliner a la Kate Middleton is disturbing. I KNOW her make up artist can do better.

  22. whirldly says:

    Two things:
    1. Diana Lane – yay! Those shoes – meh…

    2. Why is Bee Schaffer everywhere with her mom these days? Did I miss something? Last I remember (The September Issue doc) she was sneering at fashion and claiming she would never have anything to do with it. It’s the one time I felt sorry for AW; it seems her whole family considers Wintour’s career at Vogue and her impact on the fashion industry a sort of contemptible waste of time.
    Anyway – what’s the deal?

  23. Jayna says:

    Michelle Williams rocks short hair like nobody’s business.

  24. Bellagio says:

    I love this dress. Deconstructed design, prominent bra on top of what could look like a baseball shirt, leather sleeves, skirt part that could’ve come from a Carolina Herrera atelier….Thank you for constantly bringing some fresh air to a heap of unimaginative fashion choices. When it comes to her fashion instincts, Cate wears the dress and not the other way around.

  25. kri says:

    Cate…NO.

  26. what's inside says:

    Kate has really lost her fashion touch — looked like a bunch of fabric remnants loosely stitched together.
