In a week, the American release for the awaited movie, Carol, will be out. But more than the initial release of this most-awaited movie, every fashion fanatics are anticipating the many amazing style inspos we can get from two-time Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett’s film press tour wardrobe. And until then, here are some of the best style advice we got from the fashion icon.

1. YOU DON’T HAVE TO WEAR HEELS ALL THE TIME

We are in the era of fashion where women are not demanded to wear high heels anymore. Sure, wearing stilettos and high-rise sandals is still a compulsory feat in the dress codes of certain events and occasions. But when you’re just outside, strolling in the streets? Take the cue from Cate Blanchett and you will know that you can still pull off either the androgynous look or the feminine casual outfit while still wearing flats.

2. SLIP DRESSES ARE NOT FOR THE BEDROOM ANYMORE

I’ve talked about how pajamas and the outré look as a whole have become incredibly trendy these recent seasons. And Cate Blanchett is here to prove that. Slip dresses are known for their seductive charm. These silk pajama dresses are not known to be worn outside of the house, much less your bedroom. But if you pair it with something tailored and structured like a blazer, it will definitely be wearable for the streets.

3. ALL BLACK IS ELEGANT. ALWAYS.

I don’t think I have t stress this out any more but I still will. An all black outfit is elegant. And for those of you with light blonde hair like Blanchett’s, the overwhelming presence of that solid dark color will emphasize and complement your hair.

4. SOMETIMES, ALL YOU NEED IS THE RIGHT BLAZER TO LOOK GREAT

You could be wearing something so simple and basic like a shirt and jeans but it will surely become eye-grabbing by adding just one piece of garment: a statement blazer. Follow Cate’s suit and either make that all-black look rise to a whole new level of fashionable with a printed blazer or make the slouchy getup a tad bit sleeker.

5. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN’T WEAR STATEMENT NECKLACE TO FORMAL EVENTS, THINK AGAIN

So we, mere mortals, might not be attending to numerous red carpet events all the time unlike Cate Blanchett. But it is good to remember that you can wear those bold statement along with a sleek and elegant gown. Choose colors that will complement with each other in a way that will make the statement necklace stand out in your outfit.

6. TRAVEL LIKE YOU’RE GALADRIEL

Okay, so Galadriel might not be travelling in designer clothes and tailored coats but you get the gist here. When travelling, be beautiful yet still practical. Cate Blanchett, who portrayed Galadriel in the movie franchises of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, certainly know how to pull off stylish travelling looks. ayer up in comfortable clothes and eye-catching coats that will make you look flawlessly cool and keep you warm and cozy during the flight.
