Cate Blanchett to Beyonce: GIRL, THIS IS HOW YOU DO FEATHERS.
My girl Cate Blanchett is just perfection, isn’t she? Blanchett wore a Fall 2012 Alexander McQueen – which surprises me a little bit, because Cate was really close to the late Alexander McQueen, and if she was going to wear something McQueen, I would have thought it would be something vintage. But now we know – Cate supports Sarah Burton, the line’s new head designer. Cate was Burton’s first choice, apparently. They were each other’s dates.
Look, on another woman, this look would have been a total disaster. But I love this on Cate. As it always with Cate, it’s simply about how she wears it. She can pull off the strangest thing, and she never lets a dress wear her. Look at the detailing on this dress too – the whole thing is made of those rich-looking feathers. You seriously need to go back and look at Beyonce’s tacky monstrosity of a dress, then come back and look at this. Beyonce = Busted, Budget, Las Vegas Diva. La Blanchett = Beautiful, Perfect, Classic, Amazing Style Icon.
