I miss Cate Blanchett. She had a very quiet 2011, but she'll roar back to the red carpets next year with The Hobbit: OMG They Are Making Two Movies Out Of It: I Couldn't Even Get Through The Book: Great, Now I'm Having Academic Flashbacks. In the meantime, things like this remind me why we need to have her back, and soon:
Besides the shoes being underwhelming, this looks like a tunic yanked over a petticoat. Which should only happen if you're a saucy Medieval lass trying to find peasant clothes that fit, so she can masquerade as a young worker boy and find out what Life Is Really Like and then fall in love with someone and then rip off her wig. ... And now you can imagine what I read in school when I was supposed to be poring through all that Tolkein.
What would you do with this? Frankly, I think the tunic part would make an awesome little mini-dress if it were stitched up just-so.
