Cate Blanchett channeled the ’80s on the red carpet at the 95th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.
The Oscar-nominated “Tar” star wore a blue and black custom Louis Vuitton dress featuring strong shoulders, serving a subtle nod to looks that were often worn decades ago in the 1980s.

Last week on International Women’s Day (March 8), Blanchett stepped suited up for Time magazine’s 2023 Women of the Year Gala, where she was one of the honorees. She completed her monochromatic look with classic black pumps featuring a sharp pointed toe. The “Blue Jasmine” actress has been known to gravitate toward sleek suits and heels for the red carpet.
The annual Oscars celebrates film, cinematography and the artists who bring characters to life. This year, Jimmy Kimmel hosts the show. Performances include Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and presenters include Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Janelle Monáe and more. For the 95th annual ceremony, the red carpet was swapped for a champagne color due to an aesthetic choice to enhance the photography during the arrivals. The champagne carpet is the first to change from red since the 33rd Oscars in 1961.
