Last week, I suggested that I would be fine with Michelle Yeoh winning Best Actress, if only TAR wins Best Picture. At the Critics Choice, the opposite happened Cate Blanchett took the Best Actress award, while Everything Everywhere All At Once took Best Picture, Best Director and the awards for screenplay, editing and best supporting actor. I?ve halfway believed that Cate was kind of clearing the path for Michelle to eventually win the Oscar. When Cate got on stage at the Critics Choice, she actually made an argument that all of the nominees should be on stage because awards races are really dumb:
Blanchett began her speech by joking, Ive got gum in my mouth. I really didnt expect to be standing here, and, This is actually the second award of the evening: Julia Roberts, earlier, presented me with a bottle of mouthwash. So thank you, Julia. This is a poor second.
Blanchett continued by saying best actress is an arbitrary term considering how many extraordinary performances were done by women last year. The other nominees were Viola Davis (The Woman King), Danielle Deadwyler (Till), Margot Robbie (Babylon), Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans) and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
I cant believe Im up here. This is ridiculous, Blanchett, 53, said in her speech with a laugh. Im so old! The actress then suggested awards season overall get a makeover: I would love it if we would just change this whole fing structure. Its like what is this patriarchal pyramid where someone stands up here. Why dont we just say there was a whole raft of female performances that are in concert and in dialogue with one another?
And stop the televised horse race of it all, continued Blanchett. Because, can I tell you, every single woman with a television, film, advertising, tampon commercials ? whatever ? youre all out there doing amazing work that is inspiring me continually. So thank you. I share this with you all.

I felt that. I don?t know why someone always makes this point in every awards season, but this year? it just feels like the actress categories are so stacked and it?s not fair to choose between wildly diverse performances anymore.
Fashion notes: Cate Blanchett kind of phoned it in this Max Mara. Michelle Yeoh wore Carolina Herrera. I hope someone does a deep dive in how much fun Michelle is having as she gets all dressed up for this awards season.

Here are more photos from this weekend?s Governors Awards. As I said, they were very well attended, mostly potential Oscar campaigners? like Cate Blanchett. Cate will likely be nominated for TAR this awards season, so she was in LA to be seen by the right people (Oscar voters). Unfortunately, Cate decided to recycle this Alexander McQueen dress which I?ve already seen her in a few times. It?s one of the worst looks in her closet, why she keeps wearing it, I have no idea. The worst.
Carey Mulligan in Valentino. She looks perfectly fine, but I would love to see her zazz it up a bit more her looks for the She Said promotion have been too safe, too sedate. Also, She Said totally bombed in its opening weekend.
Jessica Chastain in Zuhair Murad. I don?t like this? It?s too? costumey.
Ana De Armas in bespoke Louis Vuitton. Really, really bad, right? It looks so amateurish, like the designer just bedazzled some napkins on her boobs.
Michelle Williams in Christian Dior. She just had a baby two seconds ago, I can?t believe she?s doing all of these red carpets and events.
Greta Gerwig in Carolina Herrera. She hasn?t announced anything but many are now assuming that she?s knocked up with her second.
Sadie Sink in Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2022. Very pretty and age-appropriate, I do wish the dress was a tad longer though? It feels more like a party dress when everyone else wears formalwear.

Even though the pandemic is still raging in large swaths of the world, the past few weeks have seen people attempt to go back to some kind of normalcy. The NBA Bubble has been largely successful, as was the New York bubble for the US Open. The Venice Film Festival became the first major film festival to try to do some kind of ?business as usual? they held actual premieres, with people, and did real red carpets. I?m not aware of a spike in coronavirus cases in Venice, so everything seemed to go pretty well, although obviously, there weren?t tons of people there. The festival gave out their awards on Saturday Chlo Zhao?s Nomadland won the Golden Lion. You can see the other award winners here.
For the final ceremony, jury president Cate Blanchett went all-out in this striking Armani look. The red bodice combined with the multicolor ikat sheer poncho/cape wow. I?ve really enjoyed Cate?s fashion recycling, but I appreciate that she?s thrown in a couple of new-to-us looks, and this was the show-stopper for the final night. Well done!
Bonus: Vanessa Kirby in a simple, sleek black gown and a red lip. I?m a big fan of Kirby but I feel like her red carpet styling just needs a little something extra? But in a pandemic, this is more than fine.

I thought the Venice Film Festival was winding down, but it?s not over until the 12th (Saturday). I believed we were seeing the final night?s activities because of Cate Blanchett?s fashion choice last night she wore this Alexander McQueen look for two red carpets, the premiere of Di Yi Lu Xiang and the presentation of the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement. It was the WRONG look to wear for a big night, huh?
Cate actually does this every so often I feel like she?s asking if we?re paying attention. She?ll wear some hideous dress which no one could pull off and often, the dress looks like someone pulled two of the ugliest looks and sewed them together. So it is here a giant asymmetrical peplum, half a blazer, a struggle sleeve-ruffle. My God.
I missed covering these two ?casual Cate? looks where she was just hanging around the festival during the day. She wore a Triple RRR jumpsuit which? is not cute, but I mostly hate the sneakers. She also wore some PJs, I guess.
Here?s Nathalie Emmanuel in MiuMiu even though I think she?s underdressed, I kind of like it. Mostly because I love her and her vivacity makes this ensemble really cute.
And here?s Polina Pushkareva in a dress I wish I could fix the skirt should be black, and then the whole look would greatly improve, right?

Here are some photos from the past few days of the Venice Film Festival: Pandemic Edition. I?ve been mostly impressed with Jury President Cate Blanchett?s style choices, especially considering that she?s doing a lot of repeats from her own closet. Her stylist spoke about the messaging behind that Cate wanted ?sustainable? choices for Venice, and Cate wanted to encourage women to look in their closets to rework old looks rather than buying new stuff constantly. On Sunday, Cate wore a more tailored menswear-inspired look: a sparkly Armani blazer over a simple white blouse and white trousers. So chic!
Maya Hawke in Versace. I love the design of this dress, honestly, but I dislike that kind of beige-y/nude on pale white women. To me (and perhaps I?m alone), it doesn?t look good, it looks like a condom was dropped in glitter.
Gia Coppola in Gucci Resort. I hate this so much. It?s massively fussy and dated. She looks like an old-lady lampshade.
Vanessa Kirby in Valentino. This is stunning and dramatic, especially on such a tall woman. I wish her hair wasn?t so severe, it kind of takes away from the dress.
Bonus Vanessa in a black suit & dark lips. Business-goth!

As much as I have concerns about film festivals conducting ?business as usual,? I have to say, I?ve enjoyed the treat of new fashion photos this week. They?re a nice little gift! I didn?t care much for Cate Blanchett?s repeat of that Esteban Cortazar gown on Wednesday night at the Venice Film Festival, but I do applaud her effort to rewear old looks in her closet. And she pulled out a spectacular one last night. Cate originally wore this custom Alexander McQueen top to the 2016 BAFTAs, only at that time, she paired the (absolutely gorgeous) top with a bad skirt. In Venice, Cate put the top with a pair of tuxedo pants which I NEED IN MY LIFE. I need this whole look, actually. That McQueen top is just so special and beautiful.
More photos from Venice: here?s Stacy Martin in Louis Vuitton. I find this? underwhelming. It?s not a bad dress at all and it looks nice on her, but if you?re risking your health to attend a film festival, maybe bring something besides a dinky little cocktail dress?
Frida Aasen in Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Spring 2020. I kind of love this? Totally appropriate for Venice and just a great, dramatic gown.
Taylor Hill in custom ETRO. This is just a velvet mini-robe and I feel like no one needs to see her Venetian canal!
Bonus: Tilda Swinton wandering around Venice in what amounts to a high-fashion tracksuit.

I will forever stan Cate Blanchett?s style because I think she loves clothes and cares about fashion. She also has the kind of personality and look where she can pull off weird, unconventional stuff. But her Mary Katrantzou look at the Golden Globes was awful! It reminded me of one of those little dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, you remember them? I mean, she?s not the worst dressed! But this was a bad look. The boob cups and the sheer whatever yikes.
Rooney Mara in Givenchy. She was just there as Joaquin Phoenix?s date, right? I don?t remember her presenting. Joaquin won and he couldn?t even really finish his thought when he said her name and it was very sweet. That being said, lord she?s such an odd little goth wood sprite.
Rachel Bilson and Bill Hader made their red carpet couple debut. I guess it was sweet? I don?t know, I still haven?t figured it out. She wore Brock Collection a bit twee.

Here are photos from last night?s British Fashion Awards, an annual fashion gala which? I?m sure gives away awards to fashion people. It?s a thing! It?s quite a big event, actually, and it?s always very well-attended with tons of A-listers and B-listers. This year, they got two huge names: Julia Roberts and Cate Blanchett, both acting as guests/muses of Mr. Armani. Both women wore Armani as well Julia wore a jumpsuit (very flattering) and Cate got the bigger ?look? with this lovely gown. I wonder? do you think Julia and Cate worked that out? Or was there a fight about who wore what? Because Cate?s look is so much more special and headline-grabbing.
Emilia Clarke in Schiaparelli Couture. YIKES. I dislike yellow and orange on a red carpet in general, although those colors are all over the place this season. This is just a poorly designed dress though.
Irina Shayk in Burberry. This? is bad? It could have been sort of cool, but the random roses are ruining the look.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Bottega Veneta. I love metallics in winter! She looks like a silver Christmas present. The design of the dress is kind of dumb, but Rosie pulls it off.
Lily James in Valentino Couture. I mean? if she and Matt Smith broke up recently, that might explain this whole look. I would say yes to this dress if I was heartbroken and tired.
Naomi Watts in Burberry. I love a rich velvet look and this is RICH. I?m sort of surprised by how much I love this and want to wear it.
Laura Carmichael in Ralph & Russo. Love her, and I?m sure the dress costs a fortune. But no she?s underdressed for this event and the actual dress kind of sucks.

I?ll keep saying this: this year?s Venice Film Festival is better than the past two years of Cannes Film Festival coverage. The festival selections are better, the attendees are more fashionable and there are more A-listers in Venice than there were in Cannes. Venice is also doing the old-school Cannes thing of inviting models and random actresses to show up as part of various sponsorships with beauty companies, fashion labels or jewelry houses. All in all, Venice has been glam as hell. So here are some fun fashion photos from the past few days. Cate Blanchett came out for the premiere of Joker, likely as part of her Armani contract (she?s the face of an Armani fragrance). She wore Armani Prive and I kind of hate this? The skirt is way too stiff.
Penlope Cruz in Ralph and Russo. Penelope will just always have that showgirl style, right? She loves ?explosions of tulle.? She loves rhinestones and spangles and sparkly things. This is very on-brand for her.
Call me crazy, but I friggin? love Sienna Miller in this Gucci muumuu. It feels very Indian-influenced and I?m into it.
When Sack Dresses Go Wrong: Meryl Streep Edition. This is Givenchy and it looks? comfortable, I guess. The fabric is actually rather pretty but the design is so bad.
Zazie Beetz in Valentino? I kind of love this? Is that weird? There?s too much fabric up top but I genuinely think this looks cool.
Bella Thorne was there with her new boyfriend Benjamin Mascolo. She wore a see-through Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini dress. I mean? she got some headlines, which was the point.
Barbara Palvin in Armani. LMAO. Do you think Armani green-lighted the Pink bow, or did she add that after the fitting? She looks like she picked that up at CVS.

Wow, I wasn?t even expecting to see Cate Blanchett at this year?s BAFTAs, but she decided to show up and she decided to debut a LOOK. Cate is known for being a shape-shifter as an actress, especially in the first decade of her film career she had a million hair colors (dyes and wigs) and she would look radically different from one film to the next. But over time, she just started sticking with various shades of blonde when she was not currently in production, so we?ve gotten used to Blonde Blanchett. But Cate turned up at the BAFTAs with a rich brunette shade. I don?t know how to feel! She looks younger, but also? she doesn?t look like herself suddenly. Is the dye job hiding some subtle work? Hm. Her dress was Christopher Kane and it was awful.
Michelle Rodriguez?s hair looks really cute here. I?m not a fan of the champagne-colored dress. Michelle apologized for saying that Liam Neeson can?t be racist, by the way. She said that because Liam French kissed Viola Davis, he can?t be racist. Which isn?t the way any of this works, and Michelle acknowledged that after everyone yelled at her.
Christian Bale has been having a low-key awards season, despite the fact that he?s been picking up some big awards. Is Bale finally chill??
Where were you when Rachel Brosnahan looked like a sad Christmas gift in February? This is Erdem and it?s bad.
