Cate Blanchett leads stars at Giorgio Armani’s Milan Fashion Week show

Australian actress Cate Blanchett led stars attending Giorgio Armani’s floral-inspired runway show at Milan Fashion Week.

British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson also made an appearance at the star-studded event in a herringbone-patterned coat which he wore over a black top and trousers.

She wore a cream fur coat over a white, button-up maxi dress which she paired with aviator-style sunglasses, a black leather handbag and black slingback heels.

The actress, who appeared in the Bond film Casino Royale and comedy St Trinian’s, paired the outfit with a white handbag.

The autumn/winter collection by the Italian fashion house featured a plethora of floral designs which were often in standout colours, such as pale blue and hot pink, offset against a dark fabric background.

Titled Winter Flowers, the designer said the collection hoped to convey a “message of grace and hope, intertwined with the power and energy of nature and the life cycle of our planet”, in a post to its Instagram page alongside a video of the runway show.

It added: “Flowers that bloom even in the depths of winter, heralding beauty and regrowth, adorn the garments in this collection, emphasising their airy, fluid forms and the sense of harmonious elegance that underpins the essence of Giorgio Armani’s work.”
