A long black jumpsuit with low neckline and strapless, bob hair in the classic hairstyle that made her famous, glam and sobriety. It is the mix that drove Cate Blanchett fans crazy on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival. In fact, at the Lido today is the day of the very elegant Australian diva, welcomed on the red carpet by a crowd never so crowded with delirious fans. The star walked the stretch in front of the entrance to the Sala Grande greeting the director Alberto Barbera, entertaining himself for some interviews and finally heading to the audience who had been waiting for him for hours, to sign the usual autographs. Blanchett is in Venice as the protagonist, in the role of an orchestra conductor, of ‘Tar’ by Todd Field, in Competition at the Lido and today in official screening.
