Blanchett was a vision in a striking black gown which featured a stunning skirt made up of feathers.
The layers of different coloured and sized feathers gave the dress plenty of drama and floated behind her as she made her way down the red carpet.

In 2024, Blanchett served several incredible looks over a few days.
