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.

Cate wore her light blonde hair parted in the middle and cascading down in soft waves. The beauty opted for delicate makeup, using just a hint of nude eyeliner and lipstick.

While on the red carpet, she mingled with Aubrey Plaza, 38, who styled her with a black pantsuit of her own.

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.

Cate also shared a friendly hug with Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis, 64, during the event.

The 38th Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards took place at the Santa Monica Pier, with comedian Hasan Minhaj hosting the event.

The nominations were officially announced at the end of November last year, and the awards ceremony is known for bringing together “the best talent from across the world of film and television,” according to the official website.

This year, the awards show will only be available to stream and will not be broadcast live on IFC, for the first time since 1997, Variety reported.
