Cate Blanchett won Best Actress at the 76th annual British Academy Film Awards today and looked to her very own archive and wore a custom Maison Margiela black silk and velvet gown by John Galliano.
Blanchett had first worn the fitted gown to the 87th Oscar Academy Awards, pairing the monochromatic ensemble with an aquamarine multi-strand necklace.
Her gown’s round mod-high neckline was accented by padded shoulders and tapered sleeves with fringed fabric. Its contoured back opening also featured frayed fringe.
Blanchett opted for soft pink tones for her glamour; sheer shimmer on the eyelids and a mauve satin-finish pink lip.
On Sunday, she accessorized with a Louis Vuitton pearled necklace made of metallic Tahitian pearls and white pearls. Threaded and repurposed, the necklace featured a 23.78-karat Nigerian Tourmaline stone in crystalline blue connecting the pearls together at the left shoulder. She pinned a blue ribbon to the right sleeve and wore metallic Tahitian pearl earrings and a white gold and diamond ring from the Louis Vuitton Stellar Times High Jewelry collection.

Frayed fringe adorned the hem of the dress and brushed Blanchett’s pointed-toe pumps. Seemingly made of a satin suede fabric, the heel adds to the “Tár” actor’s roster of sharp footwear, reminiscent to the Le Silla pumps she wore to the Oscar Nomimees Luncheon on Feb. 13 and the creme stiletto slouch boots she opted for when visiting the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” studios last week.
