Blanchett has always been ready to take a risk when it comes to fashion – even when it means<\/span> catching a bus<\/span><\/a> because a car would cause wrinkles – and her look of choice for tonight’s Critics Choice Awards is a reminder of that maverick streak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who else but Blanchett could arrive in a monochrome taupe skirt-and-shirt combo and make it look like the height of couture?<\/span><\/p>\n

While her peers seemed determined to dazzle, the multi-award winning Cate Blanchett has opted for understatement, right down to the minimal amount of jewellery bar a statement ear cuff courtesy of Louis Vuitton and wearing her hair in simple, gentle waves.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Max Mara-designed outfit, with its structured collar, functional breast pockets and rolled sleeves tucked into a floor length skirt with subtle fringing, expressed a sense of austere, utilitarian glamour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time that a<\/span> shirt-skirt combo has made its way down a red carpet<\/span><\/a>. Sharon Stone famously wore a Gap business shirt to the 1996 Oscars. Uma Thurman and <\/span>Zendaya<\/span><\/a> both were renditions of this – in Bottega Veneta and Valentino Haute Couture respectively – to the 2022 Oscars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s a lingering aesthetic left over from her stellar showing in Todd Field\u2019s T\u00e1r<\/em>, which Blanchett has been nominated in the Best Actress category, competing against public favourite Michelle Yeoh nominated for role in the equally acclaimed Everything Everywhere All At Once<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her performance as the complex virtuoso Lydia T\u00e1r has already nabbed her the<\/span> Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Blanchett was<\/span> notably absent<\/span><\/a> from last week\u2019s Golden Globes awards due to a scheduling conflict – a symptom that seemed to be going around as fellow winners Amanda Seyfried and Kevin Costner all chose to stay away.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":31705,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[4101,65,35],"yoast_head":"\nCate Blanchett's Understated Elegance At Critics Choice Awards<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/cate-blanchett-chooses-understated-elegance-for-the-critics-choice-awards\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cate Blanchett Chooses Understated Elegance For The Critics Choice Awards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"US-Australian actress Cate Blanchett arrives for the 28th Annual Critics Choice Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, California on January 15, 2023.
