Cate Blanchett dons eye-catching floral outfit for Venice Film Festival day two


Cate Blanchett took centre stage on the second day of the Venice International Film Festival, with an eye-catching floral outfit.


Blanchett stars in Todd Field’s film Tar, which follows the life of fictional composer, musician, philanthropist and conductor, Lydia Tar.


She was joined by co star Nina Hoss, who also drew attention in a long, sparkling trench coat.


Her character is also the first-ever woman to preside over an important German orchestra, and the film sees her at the peak of her career.


The film was reportedly given a six-minute standing ovation from the audience following the screening.


The actress, who is known for films including Queen And Slim, wore a floor-length multicoloured dress, with a marbled pattern, which was splayed around her on the red carpet.
On the festival’s opening night, Turner-Smith wore a long black, translucent Gucci dress, with jewelled detailing and red lining – and completed the look with elbow-length green gloves.
