Overview
- Cate Blanchett arrived at the Garance premiere in Cannes wearing a backless Givenchy gown from Sarah Burton’s fall 2026 collection that first appeared at Paris Fashion Week.
- The dress featured painted and embroidered flowers, sheer panels, long fringe, and shredded textures that created a vivid still-life effect.
- WWD’s review said the florals recalled Flemish still-life painting, matching Burton’s old-master influence for the season.
- The same design closed Givenchy’s Paris runway on model Mona Tougaard earlier this spring, a moment that drew wide attention online.
- At a separate screening for Paper Tiger, she chose a custom black velvet Louis Vuitton gown by Nicolas Ghesquière with a squared neckline and sculptural collar, and she has fronted the house’s high jewelry campaigns.
