When you find something that works for you, there’s no reason you shouldn’t use it over and over again. My wardrobe’s hero piece is a pair of completely tailored pleated trousers that include a somewhat extra-large leg; it’s my go-to for wearing with plain white T-shirts and raised blouses. For Cate Blanchett, that closet staple is a shiny blue blouse that’s made both a red carpet and style week debut– and now, I’m persuaded my closet needs her go-to.
Previously this week, the actress appeared at the Louis Vuitton Fall 2024 program in Paris, wearing the blouse in a way that well balanced beauty and modernity. And while the bottom half of her outfit provided cool-girl grunge, she contrasted it with a draped blouse that provided Grecian allure thanks to its long, significant sleeves.

When she stepped on the red carpet just a year ago in the archival Louis Vuitton piece, she instantly ended up being, IMO, best-dressed of the night. The blouse offered shape and sheen, and depending upon the light, transformed from cerulean to an almost teal-like shade of blue.

Unsurprisingly, I felt that same amount of love when she rocked it once again the other night. And it strongly persuaded me that my closet is missing out on a silk blouse.
As somebody looking for pieces I can repeat-wear, I’m shocked I ‘d never considered the adaptability of the top. The staple weds abundant product with an unwinded fit, allowing it to work with similarly silky skirts and trousers while elevating your favorite jeans. The motion and shape are best for warmer weather– a short-sleeve silk blouse, straight-leg denims, and ballet flats are all I wish to wear in the approaching months– while Blanchette’s bold, spring-ready color choice is also something worth replicating.
Blanchette’s billowing blue silk blouse was the evidence I needed to validate that the luxe top is a flexible wardrobe staple (which I need it!). Store more tops influenced by her appearance, listed below.
