Cate Blanchett arrived at the 2023 Costume Designers Guild Awards (CDGA) on Monday in Los Angeles, wearing an outfit with a hint of military inspiration.
The actress wore a black military-inspired jacket with embellished snap buttons and pointy shoulders, a pussy bow top and black trousers with a flare leg from Balmain.
The look was from Balmain’s pre-fall 2023 collection. WWD characterized the collection as inspired by the late ‘60s and ‘70s and “diverse, groovy and approachable.”
