## Cate Blanchett

Cropped thusly, I rather loved this. The fabric is gorgeous; the jacket is funky-cool. But there is always a lower third or fourth, isn't there? Yes. There is. Until science clones some kind of Blanchett On A Stick who just stops here.

I also really love the red backing in the gown, but I do NOT love what I think of as the throw-pillow hem on this thing. Why is that seam there? Cant it just be a dress? Isn't there enough going on without turning the bottom into a Bed Bath & Beyond ruffle? I also wish she'd picked more interesting shoes, if we're being nitpicky, which we are. For me, this is the crux of the "Unfug or Fab" designation: Would this dress work better if it ended differently? Keep the glimpse of red, though, right? Somehow?

But even when there's a disappointing lower third, there is a back that can bring you right back in again. And a Robert Redford.

And HER FACE MY GOD HER SKIN WHAT. That's such good porcelain, the Queen could eat dinner off it.

[Unfug or Fab: Cate BlanchettThank you, Blue Jasmine. You have given us so much Blanchett to talk about lo these past few months, and it's not going to stop anytime soon. Do we think she uses her own judgment, a human stylist, or some kind of SWINTONIAN unicorn-genie who lives in an ancient Egyptian viscera pot?![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/461095143.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/unfug-or-fab-cate-blanchett-01-2014/)
