I don't have all that much to say about Cate Blanchett's delicious Armani Prive dress on the Cannes red carpet. Except: Wow.

How does she do it? The flesh-toned dress is completely counterintuitive. It's almost like she brought a Benjamin Moore paint swatch of her skin tone to Giorgio and said: "Fiammifero!" (That's "Match!" for all you non-Italian speakers.) Yet, Cate just glows in a gown that would wash out 99% of us mere mortals. The confection almost looks like an extension of her own body — which sounds weird but still, against all odds, works. Love it.

(While we're at it, check out more celebs on the Cannes red carpet here. And the Globe's Ty Burr is blogging live from the film festival. Exciting all around!)
