Cate Blanchett in Armani Privé at Cannes ‘Sicario’ premiere: beautiful or basic?

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

Here are some photos from Tuesday’s Cannes Film Festival premiere of Sicario, the cop/FBI drama starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro. Cate Blanchett came out for the premiere, which was nice because I figured she would only hang around for her own promotional work for Carol. But I guess Cate came to Cannes to have fun, hang out and wear pretty clothes. I think Cate can wear pretty much anything, and I’m totally fine with this Armani Privé gown. It’s fine. It’s not groundbreaking and it’s not going to set the world on fire, but it’s pretty, flattering and beautifully detailed. Incidentally, many people believe Carol will earn Cate another Oscar nomination, so we will probably have another excellent Blanchett fashion show this awards season. Yay?

Doutzen Kroes in Dior – this is very similar to a Dior gown that Jennifer Lawrence wore a few years ago. Basically, Doutzen could do better.

Emily Blunt in Stella McCartney. I really like this. I’m surprised it’s by Stella because I really do enjoy this on Emily. I love the pop of green with her emerald earrings too.

Antonio Banderas and his girlfriend (?) Nicole Kempel. She sort of gives off a Melanie Griffith vibe, right?

Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton Resort 2016 collection. I strongly suspect that Alicia just came to Cannes to spend time with her boyfriend Michael Fassbender. That makes my eye twitch. But this dress? This dress just bores me. The skirt layers look like a vinyl shower curtain on top of a white shower liner.

Petra Nemcova wants attention in this Zuhair Murad Spring 2015 Couture. I would have liked this more on A) someone else and B) without the belt.
