Fashion at Buckingham Palace

Cate Blanchett, renowned for her versatile style, graced Buckingham Palace on February 18 with a distinct fashion statement. Among a star-studded guest list, Blanchett demonstrated her flair for reinventing the power suit with a look reminiscent of Princess Kate Middleton’s style.

Blanchett’s Pronounced Look

At an event hosted by Queen Camilla for the National Theatre, Blanchett appeared in a pale slate ensemble. Her outfit featured a double-breasted design with a plunging neckline and substantial lapels, paired with wide-legged slacks. This oversized, relaxed style was completed with a blazer reaching slightly below her hips.

The suit, with its slightly reflective texture, showcased an understated pinstripe. Blanchett’s platinum hair, styled in a sleek side-parted bob, complemented her gold stud earrings, along with makeup emphasizing her facial features.

Power Suits: A Royal Trend

Power suits have become a staple in royal fashion, primarily influenced by Kate Middleton. Known for incorporating modern corporate elements, the Princess of Wales recently wore flared pinstripe pants with an espresso blazer during a Royal Foundation initiative on February 4.

An Evening of Stars

While Kate Middleton was not present, Blanchett joined notable personalities like Andrew Garfield, James Corden, and Jim Carter. Also in attendance were Imelda Staunton and Lesley Manville, notable for their roles in The Crown.
