Cate Blanchett & Jumpsuits: A Love Story Told In Pictures
Anyone who has followed Cate Blanchett’s sartorial journey over the past two-plus decades knows two facts about the Australian actress: She places an emphasis on sustainability, often rewearing and reworking looks for multiple red carpet appearances and she loves a jumpsuit. From a beautifully constructed Schiaparelli couture number decorated with hand-painted flowers to a casual tie-dye cotton one-piece for a flight to Venice, Blanchett has proven her love for the all-in-one garment knows no bounds. For 15 years, the actress has worn jumpsuits for press events, premieres, and casual strolls around NYC. Recently, it seems her love for the onesie has only grown, as Blanchett wears jumpsuits now more than ever, donning them for a large portion of her latest appearances.
