Cate Blanchett was the picture of elegance at Cannes Film Festival on May 19. The actor walked the red carpet for the premiere of The Zone of Interest in a black-and-white Louis Vuitton dress with a cape detail and sequined silver pockets—yes, the dress has pockets! And we all know how the girlies love dresses with pockets.
The column gown traded color for chrome, as the belt had a structured silver clasp. The detail toughens the classic silhouette by adding a metallic edge. The front of the dress featured a black panel across her chest that fell over her shoulders into a long cape with white lining. The little details made a big impact, but none shone brighter than the Lord of the Rings star’s oversized pockets.
All dresses should have pockets, especially if you’re walking on a red carpet, and Blanchett’s do not disappoint. The depth makes them the perfect size for stashing away anything you’d need for a last-minute touch-up, like a quick lipstick refresh; they also gave Cate Blanchett somewhere to place her hands when she posed for the cameras.
Cate Blanchett’s hair was pulled back into a neat updo, and her makeup was a soft contrast to the black-and-white color palette.
But did we mention…the pockets?
