Cate Blanchett looked incredible as she hit the red carpet at the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday.
The Australian actress, 53, went shirtless underneath a plunging black blazer with cape-like sleeves and asymmetric pocket placement.
The edgy outfit from the Loewe Fall/Winter 2018 line also featured matching pants, and blue piping throughout.
The look was an eco-friendly choice, as the beauty had previously worn it in 2018 at the Annual Vanity Fair/CHANEL dinner during the Cannes Film Festival.
The star is nominated at tonight’s ceremony in the Best Lead Performance category for her portrayal of a tyrannical maestro in Tár.

The White Lotus star opted for a bright shade of red lipstick and swept her brunette tresses back for the night.
She was also seen sharing a warm hug with Everything Everywhere All at Once star Michelle Yeoh, 60, who looked ravishing in a deep blue velvet gown.
