Cate Blanchett arrived at Time’s Women of the Year Gala 2023 on Wednesday in Los Angeles, taking a boss-lady approach to red-carpet dressing.
In honor of this year’s event, the actress wore a double-breasted black suit with satin lapels and elbow-length sleeves from Alexandre Vauthier. She coordinated the look with classic black pointy-toe pumps. Blanchett accessorized her ensemble with a Louis Vuitton statement necklace with pearls and a gemstone, and a blue ribbon she wore on her lapel in support of refugees and displaced people around the world.
To create her look for this year’s Time Women of the Year gala, the actress worked with celebrity stylist Elizabeth Stewart. Stewart also works with Viola Davis, Amanda Seyfried and Elizabeth Olsen.
