Cate Blanchett is unquestionably a modern fashion icon, as although her style is reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour, she is also experimental with her fashion choices in terms of structure, fabrics and colours. She has an innate ability to pull off even the most unusual pieces, and has been a devoted ambassador for the edgier, darker designs of the late Alexander McQueen. However, she always carries herself with sophistication and grace, which places her in a category all of her own. Dressed up or down, she never fails to impress and is somewhat of a fashion chameleon, but as she once said "You can't please everyone, but hopefully you'll surprise people".
