Cate Blanchett takes the plunge in a low-cut black pantsuit at 2023 Independent Spirit Awards in LA
Cate Blanchett looked amazing as she hit the red carpet at the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday.
The Australian actress, 53, was shirtless under a black blazer with cape sleeves and asymmetric pockets.
The edgy outfit from the Loewe Fall/Winter 2018 line also featured matching pants and blue trim throughout.
The look was an eco-friendly choice, as the beauty had previously worn it in 2018 at the annual Vanity Fair/CHANEL dinner during the Cannes Film Festival.
The star is nominated at tonight’s ceremony in the Best Lead Performance category for his portrayal of a tyrannical teacher in Tár.

The White Lotus star opted for a bright shade of red lipstick and swept her brown hair back for the night.
She was also seen sharing a warm hug with Everything Everywhere All at Once star Michelle Yeoh, 60, who looked stunning in a deep blue velvet gown.
