Cate Blanchett’s Style Evolution Through the Years [PHOTOS]

Cate Blanchett has been gracing red carpets with her elegant style for decades now. From “The Lord of the Rings” to “Carol” to the upcoming film “Borderlands,” Blanchett remains a fixture in modern cinema, often showing up at premieres, awards shows and more events in sharp ensembles. The actress maintains a sophisticated, smart aesthetic which is sometimes infused with a whimsical flair. For example, at a “Borderlands” event in 2024 she wore a Hodakova shirt made of 102 spoons with a pair of pointy black heels with a subtle zipper trim from Paul Andrew.

Blanchett often reaches for a black pump when it comes to red carpets, though she also switches it up with other styles like a platform. For example, she made a statement in a pair of sparkling limited-edition Stella McCartney platforms at a Koko Foundation event in London in November 2024. She also promotes sustainability on the red carpet — for instance, she wore a deep blue gown with white trim by Esteban Cortázar at the BFI London Film Festival in 2015 and again at the 2020 Venice Film Festival, complementing the elegant garment with pointed pumps on both occasions.
