Cate Blanchett Does Disco Glam for Day

Yesterday afternoon, Cate Blanchett served up the ultimate going-out inspiration—just in time for Friday night. When the Oceans 8 actress stepped out for a press junket for the forthcoming (and star-studded) film, she wore a spangly cool blue suit with an infectious disco vibe.

The ’70s was a decade that gave way to softer silhouettes, and Blanchett’s zip-up shell was a perfect reflection of that easy-on, easy-off mindset. There were no bell sleeves or bell bottoms here, though: Instead, the three-quarter-length sleeves and cropped hemline on her trousers gave the retro mood a fresh upgrade. Her suit wasn’t the only throwback element in the mix: Blanchett anchored all of that shine with a set of matte white pumps that were a nice counterpoint to flat-top sunglasses; ditto for the smart attaché case in the same steely blue finish as her separates. She piled on a tangle of gold necklaces and a handful of gold rings to complete the diva-glam message. Blanchett may play a jewelry thief in Oceans 8, but who needs glittering diamonds when your pantsuit is this high on sparkle?
