Considering Cate Blanchett [1] often shows up to award shows in Cinderella-like gowns [2] and floral-embellished numbers [3], we naively expected more of the same for this year's Tony Awards. But after seeing her on the red carpet, decked out in an edgy, leather-sleeved Louis Vuitton look, we realized we couldn't have been more wrong. This was not the Disney-inspired outfit [4] Cate typically opts for at these events — and that's exactly why it caught our eye.

We love that the star went with something daring, standing out in a sea of colorful, feminine gowns. And the best touch of all? The translucent ribbon she and other attendees wore in honor of the victims from the Orlando, FL, shooting [5]. Read on to see Cate's Tony Awards look in full.
