Cate Blanchett at the Costume Institute Gala Benefit. I think she skinned a sasquatch to make that dress. The theme of the evening, by the way, was old-fashioned Frenchie stuff, in honor of Paul Poiret. Hence all the outfits that look like they were dragged out of an old chest in someone's grandmother's attic. I can smell the must from here. By the way, Cate Blanchett looks like a corpse in this picture. Is her skin actually gray?
