Cate Blanchett looks sensational in a bright purple top and leather pants.

Cate Blanchett spoke at the Berlin International Film Festival on Thursday.

The actress, 53, looked stunning in an iridescent purple top and leather pants that accentuated her slim waist for the Berlinale Talent Talk Grand Orchestra: Driving Tar event.

She smiled with her friend and fellow Tar star Nina Hoss, who looked equally glam in a striped blue shirt paired with a black leather midi skirt.

The talk featured director Todd Field, Nina, Cate and cellist/actress Sophie Kauer, as well as composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, as they discussed how they worked in harmony to create the acclaimed film.

Their collaboration enabled them to successfully portray a fictional portrait of the first female principal conductor of a major German orchestra, Lydia Tar, played by Cate.

Cate smiled and laughed as she attended the event, sporting her blonde locks in a side ponytail.

It comes after Cate, who won her third Oscar for best actress in Tar, previously admitted she had considered taking early retirement.

“It’s not occasional, it’s continuous,” Cate told the February issue of vanity fair.

Cate went on to say that she plans to stop acting “on a daily or weekly basis.” It’s a love story, isn’t it? She continued.

“So you fall in and out of love with him, and you have to be seduced all over again.”

The beloved Melbourne-born actress said that since completing her role in Tar, which was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, she has turned down several roles.

She told the magazine that it was time to “shut up,” because the role was so intense that it became exhausting.

It comes after Cate appeared in The Sunday Project last month to talk about retirement.

“I think it was because [Tár] It was such a physical role, the echoes of it are still with me and I think I’m like a lot of audience members, I need time to process it,” he said.

Cate won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2004 for Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator.

In 2013, the star won a Best Actress Oscar for her role in the Woody Allen-directed comedy-drama Blue Jasmine.

Previously, Cate called for canceling the culture, saying society will be “destined to repeat” our mistakes if history is doctored.

The star said she thinks it’s important to have a “healthy critique” of historical artwork and continue to study it despite the artists’ actions.

He used Pablo Picasso as an example, as he said he “could only imagine” what happened at that moment, but praised him for creating Guernica, which he considered “one of the greatest works of art of all time”.

She said radio schedules: ‘You look at Picasso. You can only imagine what happened in, outside and around his studio.

‘But do you look at Guernica and say it’s one of the greatest works of art of all time? Yes, it is a fact. I think it’s important to have a healthy critique.

She said: “If you don’t read old books that are a bit offensive because of what they say in a historical context, then you will never deal with the minds of the time.” [and] we are destined to repeat those things.’

Cate went on to say that her new movie, Tar, used cancel culture as a plot device to address “existential” issues.

Elsewhere in the interview, Cate also addressed the double standards faced by women in positions of power.

She said: ‘As a woman, when you don’t wield your power, in the way that we see men wield their power, then people think you don’t know what you’re doing, you don’t know what you’re thinking. ‘
