Cate Blanchett calls back to her viral spoons look as she rocks the same kitchen utensil on blazer at TIFF premiere of Disclaimer

Cate Blanchett showed off her playful side in a black suit at the Toronto International Film Festival screening of Disclaimer.

The jacket of the suit was decorated along the bottom with spoons – the utensil used for eating.

The spoons ran around the bottom of the jacket, forming a sort of bustle-like element on the back, with the spoons stacked on top of each other for volume.

It’s not the first time the 55-year-old Australian actress has worn the cutlery people use for soup and ice cream as an item of clothing.

In August, she wore a halter top made from 120 spoons to the Borderlands premiere in Los Angeles.

The designs are the brainchild of Swedish fashion designer Ellen Hodakova Larsson, who sourced the spoons from her hometown of Stockholm.

Larsson has made sustainability a focal point of her designs by upcycling and reusing materials in unconventional and playful ways.

“We had a tablecloth that she made into a dress,” Larsson said Cultivated.

‘My parents rarely bought anything new for me and my brother. It was all about creating what we needed.’

For her fall/winter 2023 show, the designer created a pencil skirt from belts and an ankle-length dress from needlepoint.

In both cases, the Don’t Look Up actress paired the spoon-neck tops with black trousers featuring a sharp pleat at the front of the legs and black pumps.

For her red carpet look in Toronto, Cate kept her accessories minimal, letting the spoons do the work of the usual red carpet bling.

“Spoons are beautiful works of art. Each spoon has a beautiful shape, they are very sensual and you nourish your body with them,” magician Uri Gellar, who introduced the concept of bending spoons with the power of your mind in the 1970s, said in 2019, per Fashion.

“You put it in your mouth, and of course spoon it! I don’t want to elaborate on what spooning means…,” he added.

But according to Geller, the spoon-laden pieces Blanchett wears are more than just pretty: They’re a nod to sustainable fashion.

The Oscar winner is known for re-wearing her outfits on the red carpet, making her the ideal spokesperson for the designer’s message.

Designer Larsson has made sustainability a hallmark of her designs by upcycling and reusing materials in unconventional and whimsical ways

“We’ve seen over the last 10 years where it used to be seasonal, now it’s trans-seasonal, multi-seasonal, and brands are designing for outlet stores,” she said in an interview with WWD for 2020.

“When you know the world consumes 18 billion pieces of clothing every year, up 400 percent from 10 years ago, you think, this isn’t working,” she added.

I think most [fashion] houses are working on the idea of ​​sustainability, but it’s about how we turn our business model around. It can’t happen in 24 hours, but it has to be done,’ she continued.

She added that she has been talking to a number of designers ‘about how we can create some kind of collection together that celebrates the recycling and reuse of fabrics.’
