Cate Blanchett was sharply dressed for the red carpet at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Blanchett arrived to the Palais de Festivals for the premiere of Martin Scorsese’s crime drama film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” dressed in a custom Louis Vuitton gown. Styled by Elizabeth Stewart, the Oscar-winning actress‘ ensemble featured a black silk velvet base with long sleeves, a wide waist belt and a floor-length column skirt.

Punctuating the piece — and creating a keyhole bodice in the process — were swathes of pale sea-green silk duchess satin, which draped across Blanchett to form a bow-like waistline with a dramatic floor-length train.
Stewart complemented Blanchett’s Nicolas Ghesquiere-designed attire with a set of sparkling diamond and emerald Louis Vuitton High Jewelry post-drop earrings by Francesca Amfitheatrof. The “Tár” star’s ensemble was also complemented by a signature Augustinus Bader facial by Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine, as well as fresh-faced makeup by makeup artist Mary Greenwell.

When it came to footwear, Blanchett slipped on a pair of towering peep-toe heels to finish her outfit. The “Lord of the Rings” actress’ style featured smooth black satin uppers with closed counters and rounded toe openings, set atop thick platform soles. Thin satin-coated stiletto heels totaling at least 4 to 5 inches in height finished the pair with a dynamic height boost, further uplifting her sharply modern attire.
