Cate Blanchett : A natural character

Her magnetic presence captivates the audience and her unique beauty intrigues the most cynical audiences. Opposed to superficial ‘beauty’, the actress preaches the no-make up attitude even on the red carpet. Considering the blush as a camouflage, the eye-liner as a superficial product, the muse of Armani is a real model to follow.

A retro wink at her eternal beauty.
