They said whaat?! Cate Blanchett #Instyleawards

“For me, the true icons of style—and I think there’s a bit of a theme emerging here tonight—for me, it’s always those women who’ve been utterly themselves, without apology”

“(Their)physical presence and their aesthetic is really integrated in a really non-self-conscious way into part of who they are. And women who know that how they look is not all of who they are, but just an extension of that”.

“It’s about women who feel free to wear what they want, when they want, and how they want to wear it”.

“I mean, you know, we all like looking sexy, but that doesn’t mean we want to fuck you”.

“No one says to Steve Bannon, ‘You look like a bag of trash, do you want me to throw you out?’”

“the comments that get said about what women wear on the red carpet—if you trawl through those trolls on the internet,… well just don’t.

“So, I think for every single style icon—and there are many, many, many, and thank you for this year—I think they’re iconoclasts.

“I say, bring it on, ladies. Break it wide open. I think you’re extraordinary.”
