Cate Blanchett dazzles in a gold sequined blouse at Cannes Film Festival as she leads the stars at a photocall for her movie Rumours

Cate Blanchett dazzled in a gold sequin blouse as she led the stars at a photocall for her upcoming film Rumors at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Australian actress, 55, looked effortlessly chic as she headed out with her co-stars to the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals on Sunday, following the film’s premiere the night before.

Cate was joined for the photocall by her co-stars Denis Menochet, Rolando Ravello, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Roy Dupuis and Charles Dance.

For the photocall, Cate wore a glitzy gold sweater adorned with sequins, as well as leather bootleg pants.

Cate opted for a relaxed look as she rolled up her sleeves and wore black sunglasses amid the French sunshine.

She finished the look with a pair of black patent stilettos and wore her golden locks in loose waves down to her shoulders.

Cate was adorned with a black and gold chain bracelet on her left wrist, while she wore a huge gold ring on her right hand.

Cate was joined for the photocall by her British co-star Nikki, who looked stunning in a white long-line blazer-style corset with bejeweled buttons.

Nikki combined the chic blouse with matching wide-leg trousers and finished it off with white platform sandals.

It comes after the star graced the rep carpet in Cannes for the premiere of Rumors on Saturday night, in keeping with the golden theme.

She looked nothing short of sensational in a sparkling gold dress as she led the stars for the display, which received a four-minute standing ovation.

Cate’s co-star Alicia Vikander was noticeably absent.

The stylish ensemble featured a scoop neckline, padded shoulders for structure and a draped design at the bust.

The floor-length dress showed off Cate’s slim figure as it delicately draped across the red carpet.

Cate opted to style her blonde locks into a chic updo for the evening and accessorized with a flawless makeup palette.

She then further accessorized the sparkling ensemble with a pair of diamond earrings.

The star was also joined on the carpet by her co-star Denis Ménochet, 47, who cut a dapper figure in a black tuxedo with a white bow.

The film’s directors Evan Johnson, 41, and Guy Maddin, 68, also took the chance to take several photos with the Academy Award winner.

The comedy film Rumors was written and directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson.

The film follows the seven leaders of the world’s richest liberal democracies at the annual G7 summit after they become lost in the woods and face increasing danger as they attempt to draft a preliminary declaration on a global crisis.

The film, which was recently produced in Hungary, also stars Genie Award winner Roy Dupuis and an additional cast includes Charles Dance, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello, Takehiro Hira and Zlatko Buric.

Cannes is the world’s largest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then fascist-influenced Venice Film Festival.

It has been held annually since 1946, except in 1948 and 1950, when it was canceled due to lack of funds.

The festival is known for its carefully selected program of films that achieved Oscar success or launched the careers of directors such as Quentin Tarantino.

Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Palme d’Or, whose previous winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.

Jane Campion became the first female director to win the award in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a gap of almost three decades until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.

Last year, Justine Triet became only the third female director to receive the award with Anatomy of a Fall.

There is also an honorary Palme d’Or, awarded in recognition of notable bodies of work, including Harrison Ford, Jane Fonda and Clint Eastwood.
