With a streak of show-stopping style moments, Cate Blanchett has quickly established herself as the best-dressed guest at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. So far, the actor has stepped out in designs from Moschino, Armani Privé, and Louis Vuitton, turning to the latter for her latest look.
Last night at the premiere of Wolfs—a crime thriller starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt—Blanchett brought her own edge to the red carpet in a stunning velvet gown. The custom Louis Vuitton number featured a strapless neckline that ruffled at its edges, and below, the same sculptural effect created a staggered train of velvety fabric. In a dramatic fashion fitting of the film festival, the Tár actor allowed her pointed black velvet heels to stick out from underneath her gown.

In tune with her past looks, Blanchett accessorized sparingly, opting to wear a single diamond ring on her left hand. She subtly mixed metals by pairing gold studs with silver gemstone earrings, and wore her short blonde hair in a curled style with a deep side part. A smokey gray eyeshadow, dewy skin, and dark pink lipstick rounded out her look.
