Cate Blanchett Always Brings Her Best To The Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet

Alongside her teenage son Dashiell Upton in 2023, Blanchett looked glamorous in a sustainable custom Louis Vuitton gown that featured a plunging white bodice and a statement train.

Blanchett sported a futuristic take on the classic red carpet gown, courtesy of Louis Vuitton, during The Zone Of Interest premiere.

Back to the Cannes Film Festival for the first time since 2018, Blanchett showed up to The New Boy photo call in a relaxed shirt dress that she styled with a statement belt and peep-toe heels.

Blanchett wore an Alexander McQueen fall 2018 dress, with a large red silk bow adorning the back to close out the festival in 2018.

The premiere of Capharnaum called for a Givenchy spring 2018 haute couture jumpsuit with tailored pants and bodice covered in pleated tulle.

Blanchett loved this colorful, tiered Givenchy spring 2018 haute couture dress so much, she rewore it at the Berlin Film Festival for the premiere of TÁR in 2023.

While she wasn’t the presenter of the prestigious prize in 2018, Blanchett still stole the show at the Chopard Trophy event when she showed up in a gorgeous, sleek Armani Privé dress.

This Iris Van Herpen couture dress was a bit of a departure (though a welcomed one) for Blanchett.

Blanchett kept it simple and classic for the Girls of Sun premiere, attending the red carpet in a one-shoulder Giorgio Armani gown.

The actress turned into a walking work of art thanks to this voluminous high-low Mary Katrantzou gown.

Blanchett looked more than ready to take on her role of Jury President in this light pink, structured Stella McCartney suit.

This was the second time Blanchett wore this black lace Armani Privé gown. She first debuted the look at the Golden Globes in 2014 and she would later repurpose it for the SAG Awards in 2023.

Blanchett went for a slightly more understated, yet still gorgeous look when she chose this Armani Privé spring 2015 dress.

Departing from her usual designers, Blanchett opted to wear this voluminous Giles fall 2015 gown with a abstract print for the premiere of her film, Carol.

Clearly inspired by a darker aesthetic for her Carol promotion at Cannes, Blanchett paired her premiere dress with a sheer Alexander McQueen look featuring a tiered, pleated skirt for the film’s photocall.

Blanchett took inspiration from the film and chose a Givenchy dress with a scaled effect on the bodice for the How To Train Your Dragon 2 premiere at Cannes.

For the film’s photocall, meanwhile, the actress opted for black, cropped pants and a red, geometric top from Spanish label Delpozo.

The actress didn’t take her role as the presenter of the prestigious Chopard Trophy lightly, and she attended the ceremony in a gorgeous, silver embroidered gown from Valentino’s pre-fall 2014 collection.

Blanchett wore a gorgeous Alexander McQueen gown featuring silver embroidery and a tulle underskirt to the premiere of her film in 2010, a dress the designer reportedly selected for the actress prior to his death that year.

Apparently, Blanchett has a thing for pink suits at Cannes photocalls. In 2010, she attended the Robin Hood promotional event in an Armani set.

Blanchett decorated her gray Armani dress with a pleated bodice and tiered skirt with a long, beaded necklace at the Cannes premiere of the fourth Indiana Jones film.

The film’s photocall, meanwhile, called for a purple printed dress, which she belted to allow for some shape.

Blanchett embraced one of her go-to Cannes designers and wore a peach Armani Privé dress with a pleated, asymmetric shoulder detail to the festival’s opening ceremony in 2008.

The actress added to the edge of her black and white Alexander McQueen dress by bleaching her eyebrows.

At the photocall for the film, though, she went for a girlier look, showing up in a colorful, printed McQueen dress with a raffia hem.

It’s hard to see in this photo, but the off-the-shoulder dress Blanchett wore to premiere for An Ideal Husband was dripping in beads.

At the photocall, Blanchett posed with her costar, Julianne Moore, in a black tank top and sheer skirt with a white slip underneath.
