Cate Cannes!

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.
