Cate Blanchett in a 2015 Armani look at the Venice Film Festival: morose or amazing?

77th Venice Film Festival held in Venice, Italy - Spy No Tsuma (Wife of a Spy) Premiere - Red Carpet

I’m still recovering from Cate Blanchett’s TRAGIC Alexander McQueen gown at the Venice Film Festival. Someone called it Victor/Victoria fuggery and now I’m mad that I didn’t think of that. Clearly, Cate is having some fun in Venice and honestly, I’m grateful to have new fashion to cover. Cate wore this Armani Prive Spring 2015 gown last night and yeah, it’s not really new. I didn’t remember this, but she did wear it to a Cannes Film Festival premiere in 2015. It works better here in Venice, during a pandemic. It’s glamorous yet understated. The detailing is really quite lovely, but the details are lost in the wide shots. I even love the bow.

Here’s Cate is a very smart navy jumpsuit and those terrible orthopedic-looking sneakers. I love everything but the kicks.

Here are some Matt Dillon beauty shots, in case you’re interested. He’s on the Venice jury too. I have no idea if he’s said or done something problematic recently, let me just enjoy these pretty photos.

    Cate Blanchett is a beautiful woman who also looks a little bit like a blobfish. I genuinely like her. I’ve been a fan since Oscar and Lucinda.

    Matt Dillon’s still going with all black hair, huh? That’s a choice.

    • Gobo says:

      D’you think he dyes the beard and brows to match?

      • Kalana says:

        I think *he* dyes all three and uses box color. A professional surely wouldn’t have gone for a dull matte heavy black. He would look great with some silver and grey coming in. He hasn’t gone the heavy plastic surgery route and he’s aging decently. He should get a professional to do it.

        @Kalana: I screamed out loud laughing. Yes, it does look like an at-home job but let’s be easy on him, it is a pandemic.

    • Grant says:

      Howling at the blobfish comparison!

    I gotta say, I dig the way she dresses.

    About that McQueen dress someone on the fug girls website commented something like “Loss of taste is a symptom of Covid, has anyone taken Cate’s temperature?” That was my fave take.

    Oooo I love that gown. Very simple and elegant. I like the jumpsuit too.

    Matt Damon is giving me Bosley Hair Club commercial vibes with that style, even though I think it’s just a bad haircut.

  5. Grant says:

    Now THIS is the Cate I’m here for. I appreciate her sartorial risk-taking, and she is one of the few that can pull off questionable pieces, but this gown is a showstopper. Elegant, timeless… Very Cate Blanchett.

    Victor/Victoria was me 😊

    She looks good but that Alexander McQueen dress just had too many things going on. The blue jumpsuit needed something else as it looks plain. Maybe a necklace? Scarf?

    Meh, it’s fine. I’m sad that her Armani pj look with red palm trees isn’t getting more coverage. It’s so 2020 pandemic.
