When Blanchett wore the dress in February for the SAG Awards, she paired it with reworked lace from a dress that was originally from 2014 (and then given new life in 2018!).
In 2014, the exquisitely detailed dress was initially created from sheer fabric and delicate lace with a high neck and cap sleeves; then in 2018,the overall lace was incorporated into a black sequin bodicewith fitted skirt and sleeves cut along the lace pattern before the early 2023 transformation.
The dress continues to evolve, and while it appears that nothing is left from what started in 2014, the Armani gown from February made a statement at this week’s event.
On Thursday, Blanchett topped off her updated look with an updated hairdo, swapping February’s coiffed curls for a more relaxed, textured wave to fit the warmer June weather in the Big Apple.
