Cate Blanchett takes the plunge in a low-cut black pantsuit at the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards in LA
Cate Blanchett looked amazing as she hit the red carpet at the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday.
The Australian actress, 53, went shirtless under a plunging black blazer with cape-like sleeves and asymmetrical pocket placement.
The edgy outfit from the Loewe Fall/Winter 2018 line also featured matching trousers and blue piping throughout.
The look was an eco-friendly choice, as the beauty had previously worn it to the annual Vanity Fair/CHANEL dinner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018.
The star was nominated in the Best Lead Performance category at tonight’s ceremony for her portrayal of a tyrannical maestro in Tár.
