63 photos that chart Cate Blanchett's style evolution: Galadriel to red carpet grand master

The actress is undeniably one of the chicest stars of our time

She may have wreaked havoc in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, but it seems Cate Blanchett can do almost no wrong when it comes to the red carpet.

The Australian actress, 51, has been a staple at awards ceremonies, premieres and glitzy galas since the 1990s, after making her big Hollywood break in 1998's Elizabeth.

The accomplished star, who holds multiple Oscars, Golden Globes and Baftas, is something of a sartorial stalwart, managing to blend high fashion with an innate elegance at every event she attends.

However, the Blue Jasmine actress has made the occasional style misstep in her decades-long career, as we discover in this red-carpet retrospective.

She has a penchant for storied maisons, and often turns to Givenchy, Armani and Alexander McQueen. Here we take a look at how the Notes on a Scandal actress's style has evolved since the '90s.

Scroll through the gallery above to see more images of Cate Blanchett through the years.
