WHEN Cate Blanchett pops out to shop, it means a jet to Paris and a front row seat at good mate Giorgio Armani's Paris collection show. That's how it went this week, when the Hunters Hill yummy mummy made a dash from Sydney on Tuesday to take her place at his haute couture show on Wednesday night.
Showing no signs of John Stamos-style jet lag, the actress embraced the moment, declaring this rocks'' as she sat like royalty beside the runway. The style queen proved a stellar sideshow to the runway action, drawing adoration from the designer crowd, including starlet-on-the-rise, Camilla Belle, seated beside her. If she wasn't wide awake after the long-haul flight of fancy, Armani's collection of bright colours and sexy silhouettes certainly would have done the trick.
Blanchett, who has emerged as an unofficial ambassador for the Italian designer brand, has made no secret of her love for his couture line, reports fashion editor Jen Melocco. And there was plenty to catch the eye, including strapless evening gowns in fuschia pink, studded with crystals - a departure from his typically subdued signature look. Dresses with corset style bustiers featuring plunging necklines were also a major change, expected to add a bit of va va voom to the next celebrity red carpet.
While Armani has surrounded himself with an A-list of Hollywood actors to help take his rags to the world, he said he took inspiration for this range from David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. What is this? Post to del.
