Cate Defends Herself in Elizabeth's Spirit

PopSugar — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 16:04:18 -0700

Cate Blanchett's dress wasn't doing much to squash those pregnancy rumors, joined by costars Geoffrey Rush and Abbie Cornish at a photocall for Elizabeth: The Golden Age in Australia today. She and her husband are set to take on the roles of artistic directors for the Sydney Theater Company in January, but are receiving backlash for not being properly qualified. When asked how Queen Elizabeth would have handled the situation, Cate said,

"She was a great patron of the arts... under her reign, Shakespeare and the English language flourished. So I can only hope that under our patronage, Australian writing at the Sydney Theatre Company flourishes in a similar way."

Cate has always struck us as one of Hollywood's more poised and graceful stars. We're sure that her dedication and talent will shine through no matter whether her role is on the big screen or behind the scenes at the theater.

It's the Golden Age of Elizabeth Premieres

PopSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 07:45:00 -0700

Cate Blanchett continued her world tour of Elizabeth: The Golden Age with a screening at the London Film Festival last night. Once again, Clive Owen was missing, but in his spot was a different British co-star, a Sienna-less Rhys Ifans, as well as Heather Graham. Cate has openly discussed her initial hesitation to reprise the role of Elizabeth, but it became hard to say no once she knew who else was involved. She said, "When I knew that Geoffrey Rush was on board, and Clive Owen was willing to be a part of it, the project as a whole seemed appealing."

Cate Brings Elizabeth to Rome

PopSugar — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 06:50:48 -0700

Cate Blanchett took Elizabeth: The Golden Age abroad Friday for the Rome Film Festival. First stop for Cate was a photocall for the film where she glowed in blue and gold. Cate then took her look up a notch to walk the red carpet in a dress that made her standout but not necessarily in a good way. Cate has been reflecting on bringing her famous character back to the big screen and while in Rome admitted the role would have been pretty difficult to turn down. She said, "It would have been perverse to refuse to play in the sequel. It's undeniable that Elizabeth I is an extraordinary woman in history."

We're happy Cate came back as Elizabeth even if the sequal wasn't as good as the first. To see more of Cate, sadly without her costar Clive Owen just read more

Cate Re-Visits Elizabeth

PopSugar — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 13:59:51 -0700

Cate Blanchett headed to NYC for a screening of Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and this time she went for a basic black dress unlike the bright blue one. A bunch of big names from the fashion industry like Michael Kors and Zac Posen came to check out the film and its extravagant costumes. The movie is a sequel to Elizabeth, and Cate recently talked about what it was like to get back into character almost 10 years later. Here's more:

"I was a bit nervous about returning to a character, I suppose, that had allowed me to walk through a door to an international film career."
I was thinking, oh god, it's ten years later. Have I aged that much?" Being an actress on film is a bit like aging in dog years, it's quite confronting."

Cate earned herself an Oscar nomination the last time around, so we have a feeling she'll be just as great in her new movie. Besides, she's only older, wiser and more experienced now, right?

Cate Blanchett Is So Beautiful It Hurts To Look At Her. Okay, Maybe It's The Dress

Molly — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 11:41:35 -0700

Cate Blanchett was a vision in blue (for real, kinda hurts my eyes) at last night's LA premiere of Elizabeth: The Golden Age. The dress is a bit, shall we say, drapey, but there is something fabulous about the color and the fact that Cate Blanchett can proudly leave the house knowing she's the only woman in the world who would look gorgeous in that dress. To be fair, she could literally wear anything on the red carpet and look stunning - apparently even an electric blue potato sack.

Golden Age of Models Celebrate Golden Age Of Couture

Molly — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 00:12:16 -0700

Glamor reined last night in London as some of the greatest models ever got together to celebrate at the Victoria & Albert Museum's Golden Age of Couture Party. Eva, Claudia, Elizabeth and Kate all looked simply gorgeous, but my girl Fab wants to know who do you think wins the Battle of Old School Supermodels? New school fashion sweethearts like Agyness Deyn and Thandie Newton held their own on the red carpet against the couture titans. I'm sure Miss Anna Wintour (who Fab got a few glimpses of at NY Fashion Week) would have a thing or two to say about all the beautiful red carpet ladies. Hey, maybe even Kevin Spacey could weigh in on the old school vs. new school models? Ha.

PopSugar — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 10:55:45 -0800

Cate Blanchett has been all over the world promoting Elizabeth: The Golden Age, but she took a break to devote some time to her love for fashion. Cate was the lucky guest of honor at Giorgio Armani's big unveiling of his new megastore in Tokyo today. The building boasts 65,000 square feet and 12 stories - that's a lot of Armani! She only just confirmed that she has a baby on the way, but Cate is already wearing that pregnancy glow so well. Of course, the designer maternity dress doesn't hurt either.

Cate Blanchett Is Pregnant!

PopSugar — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 14:00:51 -0700

Looks like there is at least one celebrity these days who doesn't mind admitting the obvious. We suspected Cate Blanchett was carrying her third child and you all seemed to agree the rumors were to be believed. In Sydney at the premiere of her latest film Elizabeth: The Golden Age Cate was asked if she was expecting and she said, "Yes, I am. It's early days yet. It's due in April." She referred to her expected newborn as "it" in response to not knowing the sex since the press was already starting rumors that she was having a boy. Congrats to the beautiful actress and her growing family.
