Cate Blanchett to wear Armani Prive, Christian Lacroix and Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2009 Couture
After seeing Cate Blanchett in the front row for Armani Prive’s Fall 2009 show it showed Martin that Cate Blanchett is truly the undisputed queen of couture.
Martin says, “I’d love to see Cate in this stunning Armani Prive pantsuit, which has a refinement and elegance that is perfectly in tune with her aesthetic. She pulled off pantsuits with aplomb in her role as Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator and this one particularly appeals to me because it is both powerful and feminine – two qualities that Cate faultlessly projects whenever she appears on the red carpet.”
This look takes me back to when Cate wore a pantsuit to receive her Hollywood Star, and I feel it would be the perfect choice for her. It maybe grey but it certainly is not boring.
Martin continued, “Christian Lacroix presented what may be his final couture collection during haute couture fashion week and I think that this gorgeous beaded dress with black silk and lace ruffled jacket would be perfect for Cate. It has a real sense of that subtle and understated drama she manages to convey so effortlessly.”
I see this on both Dita and Cate only. All others stars should steer clear. Character, grace, style and poise is needed to pull this off.
With regard to this outstanding Jean Paul Gaultier gown Martin said, “My final pick for Cate is this amazing Jean Paul Gaultier silk floor-length gown with external gilt-edged corseting and exaggerated shoulders. One of the things that I most admire about Cate is how she is able to push the fashion boundaries in futuristic designs from Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga without ever looking ridiculous or contrived. The dress is undoubtedly edgy, but if anyone can pull off this futurist goddess warrior look, it is Cate Blanchett.”
This would be an absolute dream. The colouring against her pale skin, the hard corset contrasted with the soft chiffon gown…..I have goosebumps.
