Let us start the morning off with prayer and worship.   Cate Blanchett attends the 2nd Annual AACTA Awards in Sydney, Australia in an Armani Privé gown accessorized with black drop earrings and black shoes. Armani Privé Spring 2009 Couture Collection/Model: Magdalena Frackowiak (ELITE)...

Ah, there’s the Galadriel we were looking for: Cate Blanchett attends the ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ Royal Film Performance in a Givenchy gown paired with Givenchy shoes and Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry. Givenchy Spring 2013 Collection/Model: Lin Kjerulf (NEXT)...

Let us begin our week’s work with a lesson on Workin’ It. Note that there is a difference between “WERQ!” and “Workin’ It,” as we define the terms here at T Lo Arbitrary Distinctions, Ltd. You see, “WERQ!” is an exclamation that escapes...

We bet that many of you, like us, were all “Cate ‘Galadriel’ Blanchett at The Hobbit premiere? Sign me up! Let’s see it, girl!” Or something to that effect. And if you are even more like us, you’re probably gonna give out a disappointed “Oh” at...

Cate is serving up 21st Century Katharine Hepburn realness crossed with a little bit of nerd girl chic. Cate Blanchett makes an appearance at ABC Classic FM‘s studios in Sydney in a Giorgio Armani suit paired with Loeffler Randall shoes. Giorgio Armani Fall 2012 Collection/Model: Toni Garrn...

Miss Cate looks all kinds of badass here:   Cate Blanchett lands at Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney, Australia carrying a Belstaff bag. Belstaff ‘Dorchester’ Handbag Not seen in these pictures: The part where she shoved people out of the way, yelling...

Ugh. You know how you wake up late and you realize you don’t have any material put together for the site you publish with your significant other, and then the two of you run around mainlining Starbucks and shrieking at each other that you have to GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER because you also...

Ooooooh, we’ve never seen Cate’s nerdy-girl look before: Cate Blanchett out and about in New York City carrying a Tod’s D-Styling ‘Bauletto’ bag. Tod’s D-Styling ‘Bauletto’ bag A-FREAKING-DORABLE. Love your shoes, girl. And yes, we can see the bag....

Darlings, when it comes to celebrities making red carpet appearances, we tend to grade on a scale; meaning, we take into account where they are and what they’re promoting. A big budget movie premiere is not a store opening is not an industry party is not an awards show, etc. So while...

We’re on round 2 (and cup 3) and there’s no end in sight, bitches! Please keep your hands on the safety bar! Abbie Cornish We get the distinct impression this is a dress that photographs badly. It just kinda sits there.   Allison Williams in Ralph Lauren Surprisingly standard...

We almost never start the day off with an editorial. We don’t know why, but we tend to see them as afternoon and evening posts; something pretty to look at when you’re in the midst of or near the end of the day. Of course it’s a silly thing to think about because the number...

We’re feeling giddy over the prospect of a Cate outfit that inspires snaps – it’s been far too long, kittens – and that has us wondering if she deserves a royal title, like Queen Helen of Fuckinfantastica. We could call her Empress Cate of Getthefuckoutofmyway but then...

Sometimes we watch E!’s Fashion Police with some amusement – and not because Joan said something funny. No, it’s because they’re often covering looks we covered days before, so sitting down to watch the show has become a sort of television retrospective of our week....

Because of the retail season, we’re seeing an awful lot of celebs at store openings instead of red carpets. This causes problems for us because when we’re talking about red carpets and photocalls, we’re talking about looks that were never paid for and were put together by a...

Okay, so we sat open-mouthed last night through that Hannah movie, with Cate and Saoirse Ronan. We won’t go so far as to recommend it, unless you’re really in the mood for something weird and unless you want to see Cate plod her way through the worst “suhtherrn...

Okay, we’ve all had our fun at Ke$ha’s expense; now the real work starts. As dedicated minions may know, Empress Cate of Ferocity has let us all down in recent days; opting to forego her normal fierce and fabulous looks in order to show up on red carpets looking like a dowdy real...

We’ll say upfront that this isn’t going to be one of those Cate Blanchett looks that will cause you to involuntarily gasp and shout “BRAVA!” at your desk. But her last RC appearance here on the blog shook the very foundations of civilization and caused millions of...

Saint Kate of Giving Good Face fixed her Blue Steel on the lens of an InStyle Australia photographer for the July 2011 issue. Gucci Fall 2011 Collection/Model: Anabela Belikova Lovely. But Cate? If we may…? We wouldn’t normally give advice to she who is rock-solid in her...

Precious Unborn Fawns! As if it wasn’t bad enough that we had to criticize Iman’s outfit last week, we are now forced to point out the deficiencies in the latest outfit of CATE, GODDESS OF RED CARPETS AND ATTITUDE. What is GOING ON in the world of red carpets, kittens? Is it the...

Dior dress. Neil Lane Jewelry earrings. While it’s true we normally decry the actress editorial that has her grinning at the camera instead of trying to pose, we can’t help but love this picture. It’s so not what you expect, either from Cate or from a magazine cover, that it...
