Cate Blanchett Wore Lanvin To The Olivier Awards 2026
Cate Blanchett attended The Olivier Awards 2026, held at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where she was nominated for Best Actress for her stage role as Irina Arkadina in The Seagull.
The Australian actress, who is no longer working with Elizabeth Stewart, appears, in my view, to be working more directly with fashion houses, with less of a traditional stylist-led approach. That might explain why some of you feel her recent red carpet looks haven’t been landing as they once did, as the consistency that comes from working with a stylist is no longer there.
On this occasion, she worked with Peter Copping for Lanvin, selecting a high-neck black gown from the Fall 2026 collection.
If you’re anti-belly button, the cut-out lattice insert at the waist may be the sticking point, even with the crystal rhinestone embellishment. Personally, I think it adds a modern edge to an otherwise classic silhouette. The softly draped bodice offsets the sharper, geometric waist detail, creating a balanced finish.
Even in a more pared-back look, she’s still a scene-stealer.
Lanvin’s Midnight Step mules completed the look.
