Cate Blanchett made a sustainable statement at the 2025 Golden Globes, re-wearing a stunning gold Louis Vuitton gown first seen at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The “Disclaimer” actress graced the red carpet in the custom-made dress, featuring a flowing cape-style bodice with metallic shoulder detailing and a column skirt with a train. Blanchett kept her accessories minimal, opting for sparkling earrings and styling her blonde bob in a side-parted, tucked-behind-the-ear look.

The gown’s first appearance was at the Cannes premiere of the comedy “Rumors” in May 2024. Blanchett’s stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, described the dress as “simple and iconic,” designed to be admired time and again. Stewart predicted Blanchett would wear the gown throughout her life, a prediction that came to fruition at the Golden Globes.

The intricate creation involved over 1,200 hours of hand-embroidery, incorporating nearly 15 pounds of gold micro glass beads. Stewart emphasized the masterful draping, creating a look that is both fluid and statuesque. The original Cannes look was completed with diamond earrings and a ring from Louis Vuitton’s high jewelry collection.
Blanchett’s Golden Globe nomination was for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series for her role in “Disclaimer.” This marked her 13th nomination, adding to her four previous wins for “Elizabeth,” “I’m Not There,” “Blue Jasmine,” and “Tár.” “Disclaimer” also received nominations for Best Television Limited Series and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series for Kevin Kline.

“Disclaimer,” a seven-part psychological thriller adapted from Renée Knight’s novel, stars Blanchett as journalist Catherine Ravenscroft, who exposes the wrongdoings of others. The series takes a dark turn when Ravenscroft receives a mysterious book detailing her own hidden secret. The series also stars Sacha Baron Cohen and Louis Partridge. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Blanchett showcased a sustainable Hodakova power suit adorned with recycled spoons.

The recycled spoon embellishment echoed a similar detail on a halter top worn by Blanchett at a “Borderlands” screening, highlighting her commitment to sustainable fashion. Both spoon details were sourced locally in Sweden.
