Fashionably resourceful! Cate Blanchett has given the term rewear a new meaning.
The actress, 53, was a must-see at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, February 26, in a sparkly black Armani Privé gown — and it turns out, the figure-hugging dress has had its fair share of red carpet moments.
Blanchett’s stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, revealed via Instagram on Sunday that the gown was made custom with “re-purposed lace” from a dress the Ocean’s 8 star wore in 2018 and 2014.
Five years ago, Blanchett wowed at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival in the original — a sheer black lace number that featured a wide skirt, an open back and a dainty high-neck. The frock was also equipped with metallic sequins at the hem. The Carol star paired the garment with open-toe black heels and wore her hair in a sleek updo. She accessorized with dramatic dangling earrings.
Blanchett first debuted the original design at the 2014 Golden Globes in Los Angeles, pairing the piece with diamonds and retro pinned curls.
For Sunday’s ceremony, Armani Privé gave the timeless statement a sultry upgrade. Blanchett’s new look was a plunging black gown that featured a lace bodice. The garb also included cutouts at her waist that were covered the floral netting.

Blanchett teamed the re-work with Louis Vuitton jewelry, black satin platform pumps and wore her signature blonde tresses in bouncy curls. (Blanchett was up for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Tár, but lost to Michelle Yeoh who won for Everything Everywhere All at Once.)
The 2023 event was a busy one for Stewart as she also styled Viola Davis, Amanda Seyfried and Jessica Chastain.
