Cate Blanchett

This feels a bit like Galadriel by way of Star Trek, or some kind of alien cult -- like whatever the equivalent of Scientology is on Neptune. It also fits her very oddly. Cate Blanchett isn't someone I associate with poor fit, so that's surprising.

Cool idea, but also methinks not terribly flattering. It makes me sad.

In her favor: This angle shows the top is intended to be more blouson than I realized from the first shot, so it's not just oddly baggy (although I'm not sure it's attractively executed). However, what seals the deal for me -- frosts the urinal cake, as it were -- are the plastic see-through shoes. You know how I feel about these. They look like cast-off toy packaging. I can't. CATE. Your eyes of power have failed. I'm going to go drink a Diet Coke, eat a peanut butter sandwich, and vote "fug" on the ensemble.

Fug or Fab: Cate Blanchett

I worry that Cate Blanchett is trying some kind of funky ocular hypnosis on me. YOU WILL LIKE THIS. YOU WILL LIKE THIS. YOU WILL START DRINKING DIET PEPSI AND REJECT PEANUT BUTTER AS SATAN'S DIAPER CREAM. While I am confident someone as groovy as Cate Blanchett would NEVER try and convince me of the latter two evils, I also know that would never work on me. But can she sway me on the gown?
