Tweet Actress Cate Blanchett has become known for her bold fashion choices. I think we’d all be surprised if she turned up at an event looking merely “pretty.” The couture gown by Givenchy that Blanchett wore to this February’s Oscars was no exception. I didn’t love that dress in an “I want to wear it” [...]
