Icon: Cate Blanchett





Besides striking a victory for pastiness, Cate Blanchett seems to me like she would be pretty cool to sit around and loll over Vogue and smoke a bowl with. I like that she keeps two completely diverse elements constant through many of her wardrobe choices: one, looking like she could possibly be from the future, and two, looking like she could possibly be from the 1940's. I bet that she has some interesting things to say about style and design between her sartorial decisions, the diverse and beautiful array of characters she's portrayed (a pedophiliac schoolteacher, a spoiled suburban Californian shot and trapped in the Middle Eastern desert, an elf, Bob motherfucking Dylan). She consistently picks difficult and completely choice roles, and, not least, is strikingly gorgeous despite looking like no other face in Hollywood.
