Cate Blanchett’s Powerful Fashion Statement Amidst Cannes Glamour

Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett made a bold move at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

Blanchett attended the premiere of The Apprentice at the Cannes International Film Festival on the 20th in a dress that attracted a lot of attention.

Blanchett wore a long, off-the-shoulder dress that revealed her shoulders and back. The front was black, and the back was white, making it a dress of contrasting colors. Unbeknownst to viewers, Blanchett had a secret within her dress. As Blanchett posed by lifting the back of her cut-out dress, a dark green lining hidden inside the dress was revealed, evoking the Palestinian flag.

Viewers who saw Cate Blanchett’s dress speculated that she was sending a message calling for an end to the war between Israel and the armed Palestinian faction, Hamas.

The dress Blanchett wore was a Jean Paul Gaultier dress designed by Haider Ackermann. Blanchett is also part of Artists4Ceasefire, a group of artists responding to the humanitarian crisis caused by the war between Israel and Hamas that broke out last October.

In addition to Blanchett, more than 400 Hollywood actors, including Bradley Cooper, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Lopez, are part of Artists4Ceasefire.

Blanchett is a globally popular and influential actress who has starred in films such as Elizabeth, The Lord of the Rings series, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Thor: Ragnarok.
