Here are some photos from the Cannes Film Festival photocall for How To Train Your Dragon 2. You know what’s surprising? Gerard Butler is back to doing voice work for this film, yet he didn’t come to Cannes to promote it. Huh. I’m sure there’s a story there. In the meantime… CATE BLANCHETT. She has come to Cannes to save us from all the Blake Livelys and Zoe Saldanas of the world. At the photocall, Cate wore this straight-off-the-runway ensemble from Delpozo. Thoughts? La Blanchett can do anything. I like this for what it is – a smart, interesting, business-casual look.
Cate was joined at the photocall by Jay Baruchel, Djimon Hounsou, America Ferrera and Kit Harington, all of whom do voice work for the animated film. Is this Kit’s first Cannes? I think it might be.
And here are some photos of Cate at last night’s Chopard event in Cannes. She wore Valentino. I’m not crazy about the high neck, but since it’s Blanchett… yeah, she pulls this off.

I love it. She can do no wrong.
Agreed. I didnt even have to click the link and I knew my answer was going to be “flawless” lol
I second that !
Yes, she is great every single time.
Yes to all the posts above.
My thoughts were : I don’t love it but it is La Blanchett so it is AOK, looks ‘smart’ on her.
Pay attention Filler Freaks!!! THIS is how you give great face. I suggest that you all find out who Cate sees for her face stuff and beg for thaht PS/Dermie to help you all.
Yes to all of this. There is no human who could supplant Cate as the most talented, elegant fashionista in any universe. She is perfection.
*damn! forgets about our reigning alien queen goddess Tilda Swinton*
LOVE.
Those are not her better looks: the boxy crop top/high waisted pants look looks good on nobody and the dress is a touch too glittery.
I would do things to Djimon, wonderfully sexual things. . . that being said, I wouldn’t turn Blanchett away either, that woman is ethereal, absolutely striking. DJimon deserves a lead role of substance, he always steals the scene when playing smaller parts anyway. Just so. much. yum.
Djimon is simply beautiful. Like a human work of art.
America looks beautiful! I want to punch Jon Snow in the face and I can’t even with Cate’s Delpozo top. Business casual the what? She’s killing it in those trousers tho.
She always looks good in my opinion. Her makeup is flawless or maybe it is her skin that makes the makeup look so good. Love thos shoes!
That’s what I was thinking? It reminds me of the Jetsons.
*oops meant to reply to Mean Hannah below. 👇
I love the soft look her face always has. Gorgeous face!
Valentino is beautiful on her, collar and all. Delpozo is all kinds of wrong. It might have worked if the pants were slimmer and not cropped, though. Where in the world would this outfit work as a business casual?
That Valention might be my favourite dress on anyone ever. It’s stunnig, collar and all.
The collar is in feathers! I love it, a total juxtaposition to the sparkly, airy part of the dress and she has on Chopard SHRIMP earrings.
Million dollar shrimps, I am in love. She really is flawless.
This outfit would look ridiculous on anybody other than Cate Blanchett.
She really can wear anything.
Agreed. I’m not sure how she does it, but she always pulls it off with ease.
It looks ridiculous on Cate Blanchett.
I love Cate, but that outfit is a disaster. The top, the weird length on the pants, the orange shoes that are too-close-but-not-actually-a-match to the shirt. It doesn’t even look like she bothered to brush her hair. I mean, she still looks better than I ever will in my life because, y’know, Cate Blanchett. But for her, that’s a trainwreck.
I agree. I adore Cate, but the first outfit is just awful. It doesn’t fit right, especially the pants, IMO.
The dress is ok, but I think that is do to the fact that she is wearing it…it makes it more tolerable.
I love it! She looks stunning!
Her outfits are crazy and fabulous, but the first thing I noticed was her face, specifically her smile!!!
Why does Jon Snow always look like someone’s just farted in the lift?
Ha. You know everything Etheldreda!
The guy’s got a major role in the hottest show on earth, while not being, shall we say, the greatest of actors. And yet he still looks miserable? Lighten up, Kit!
Edit: Just noticed he’s smiling in one of the pictures above. Makes a nice change, I must say.
I love Cate too but that boxy outfit is fug and doesn’t work at all.
She’s only human! 🙂
That’s not exactly what one would call a “Photo Ready Face” for Mr. Baruchel, is it?
I love looking at Djimon Hounsou – could do it all day.
Fugly, fugly, fugly.
But I love the gown
Kit Harington is gorgeous! He’s always dressed so nicely, he’s got great style.
I don’t know. The outfit is fug, but she makes it good. It’s her face, smile, her posture, siluette.
The dress is fine, and better on Cate. She’s fantastic.
She looks more beautiful every year, but her fashion sense hasn’t improved one bit.
I was very pleasantly surprised by some of her Oscar-related choices, but now, I see, she’s gone back to her horrid dressing. And no, she cannot pull it off, in my opinion. That outfit is simply too horrid for anyone to pull it off.
Although I sure wish someone did pull it OFF. Literally. 🙂
It’s quite instructive to compare Cate to her fellow Aussie actress, Nicole Kidman, who was featured here yesterday. Both women are in their forties, and both are physically quite similar – tall, willowy, with fine features and porcelain skin. However, while Cate looks confident, radiant, and gorgeous, Nicole just looks sad and a little scary.
When will these women learn that plastic surgery doesn’t make you look young? It just makes you look weird.
No.
Cate seems like a cool woman. But I don’t like either outfit. She looks as good as anyone can, but I think those colors and cuts wouldn’t be flattering on many.
She has beautiful skin. Even though her looks are not the type I prefer , she seems great and makes an effort
She is just perfection incarnate. That Delpozo look is super crazy and edgy but the Valentino truly is on a league of its own. I love that she is back at her very best, as at the award season she was playing it a little bit safe. And her face is so beautiful as always, drool.
ok, why does Kit Harrington ALWAYS look like he smells a fart?
LOL!
Well, she’s prepared if the boat sinks.
He comes across really lovely in interviews. Is he a douche?
First I have heard that he might be. Perhaps, it is simply the squint that bothers Em. I’ve found him to be humble in interviews.
Also, I love, love, love his curls!
That shirt looks like something my daughter would draw on me. Fail.
aww I love Jay, I always thought he comes across as a lovely, humble Canadian we can be proud to call our own!
And yes, Kit does have an unfortunately punchable face. And Im saying this as a sort of fan!
Can’t say I like what Cate has worn at Cannes thus far (Lainey has pics of her wearing Givenchy at the premiere); but I love her confidence to wear it like a boss, so she gets a pass. Cate looks lovely and fresh here and her make-up is so pretty at the premiere.
On a different note, it’s nice to see America Ferrera, it’s been ages.
The dress is lovely. The pants are nice, but that bib she is wearing with them is ridiculous.
Cate must be staying in a hotel that has no mirrors.
Did you see the story about the guy running onto the red carpet and crawling under America’s dress???!!! They were all together for a photo and he came running up and stuck his head under her. WTF!
I hadn’t heard about it until just now…ugh, what an idiot.

Perfect illustration how color can complement and enhance a woman’s complexion (the Valentino) vs. fighting with it (the Delpozo).
