Cate Blanchett, 56, is renowned for her exceptional talent as an actress. She’s also known for stepping out for industry events in incredibly stylish outfits. That’s what she did when she showed up at the ceremony for the German media award Bambi in Munich on November 13.
Appearing in a stunning purple dress, the piece featured a solid piece on top and a sheer skirt section. That alone would have made the item amazing. However, the gown was also covered in wispy feathers in the same color of purple as the dress. Thanks to the fluffy addition, the piece was absolutely whimsical.

GettyCate Breaks One Specific Red Carpet Rule
While Cate’s feather-covered purple gown may be new, she doesn’t always opt for a different piece for each event that she attends. In fact, she’s willing to break an unspoken red carpet rule by rewearing outfits.
“It should be completely unremarkable, the idea of re-wearing (clothes), because we do it in our daily lives,” the actress told Business of Fashion (via Harper’s Bazaar). “We do it out of habit, we do it out of choice, we do it out of necessity.”
“I think that there’s a lot of people like me who are tired of the churn,” she said. “But who also want to keep the industry healthy in all its dimensions. There’s a chance here to redefine the notion of luxury. I think that it’s bringing back the cherished love aspect of it.”
Cate Has Talked About the Change in Beauty Culture
GettyWhile talking about both her “internal and external evolution” during a discussion with Harper’s Bazaar, Cate opened up about the way in which beauty culture has changed.
“You get asked less and less how it feels aging,” she said. “I often got asked that once I was over the age of 30 — as a woman, actress, someone in the public eye.”
Beyond that, she explained that “the toll that not being mentally and spiritually healthy can take on you physically” is connected with beauty.
“I’m grateful for the fact that we’re talking more holistically about the notion of beauty,” she continued. “I grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, when there was a very acute pressure on women and their ‘use by’ date from a beauty point of view. And I’m appreciative to all the women who have come before me who have completely challenged that conversation and knocked it off the agenda.”
