Dust off your old dish drawers and shine your silverware. At least that\u2019s what Cate Blanchett\u2019s latest look suggested after the Australian actress attended the premiere of her upcoming film <\/a><\/span>Borderlands<\/span><\/i><\/a> wearing a demi-couture halter neck made from 102 silver spoons. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 2024 video game-to-film adaptation sees Blanchett star as Lilith, a notorious outlaw who teams up with a bunch of ragtag misfits on an intergalactic mission to save a young girl. Irrespective of her film\u2019s subject matter,\u00a0 Blanchett has always been one to polish up on the red carpet<\/a>. But more importantly, she\u2019s been a stringent advocator for repurposing old ensembles into new silhouettes. (Elizabeth Stewart<\/a>, the stylist of the ever-stylish environmentalist, once wrote on Instagram in 2020 that it\u2019s \u201cchic to repeat\u201d.) <\/span><\/p>\n

Now, on the eroded desert-esque red carpet in Los Angeles, Blanchett has offered her boldest rewear yet<\/a>. Designed by the Stockholm-based label Hodakova<\/a>, Blanchett\u2019s sculptural top consisted of antique cutlery that had been moulded and reshaped into an armour-like breastplate. <\/span>She finished her outfit with sharp cigarette-cut trousers, razor-sharp stilettos and Louis Vuitton jewellery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each of the utensils was reportedly sourced from all across Sweden. Since launching its ready-to-wear offering in 2021, Hodakova has garnered a legion of acolytes for its imaginary use of upcycling deadstock materials to make something truly one of a kind. <\/span>Unsurprisingly, the mindful ethos of reclaiming discarded matter has resonated with the sci-fi set. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hodokova is certainly finding her niche in this genre, with Emma Corrin<\/a> recently wearing a leather mini-dress made from vintage belts to a screening of <\/span>Deadpool & Wolverine <\/span><\/i><\/a>at Comic-Con. <\/span>The making of the dress would also earn the stamp of approval from <\/span>The Matrix\u2019s <\/span><\/i>cutlery-bending young boy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Borderlands <\/span><\/i>launches in Australian theatres on August 8. Watch the trailer for the film, starring the ensemble cast of Jamie-Lee Curtis<\/a>, Ariana Greenblatt<\/a>, Jack Black and Kevin Hart, below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
