Cate Blanchett wasn't allowed to wear T-shirt under Armani dress
The Australian actress hit the red carpet at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards wearing a black sequin dress with a black lace neckline.
Blanchett often re-wears her red carpet dresses and thinks of new ways to put a fresh spin on an old look, but designer Giorgio Armani did not support her idea to switch the black lace with a T-shirt for the gown's next outing.
"I wanted to wear it with a T-shirt but Mr. Armani wouldn't let me. You gotta respect the maestro, right?" she said in Vogue's Life in Looks video series.
With the 2023 awards look, the Oscar-winning actress reached out to the Armani Privé team and asked if she could use black lace instead of the original material. She suggested re-purposing the lace left over from a dress she wore to the 2014 Golden Globes.
"I said, 'Look, I know there's this leftover lace from the dress that I'd worn to the Globes all those years before.' They found an offcut and so they made the internal corset out of that offcut," Blanchett explained.
The Carol star noted that some people were shocked when she re-wore her 2014 Globes dress to the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival in 2018.
"I remember people saying to my publicist, (in hushed tones), 'Oh, Cate's wearing... she's worn that dress before.' As if I didn't know. 'Oh really?' I was so pleased to wear it again because I'd loved it so much," she continued. "When you have something so beautiful like that, it's a crime to wear it once."

Ryan Reynolds Zings Rob Mac at Just for Laughs Awards
An awards show for comedians always has its fair share of roast-worthy one-liners and zingers. So when Ryan Reynolds on Friday paraded onstage for the 2025 Just For Laughs awards show to honor Rob Mac with a Generation Award, the Deadpool franchise star couldn't resist a jab at his fellow Wrexham AFC owner and executive producer of Welcome to Wrexham. More from The Hollywood Reporter Former Obama Speechwriter Jon Lovett on How Trump Is Funny Like a "Clown With a Gun" Oasis Play Wembley: 5 Takeaways From Liam and Noel Gallagher's Nostalgia-Packed Return to Stage Rachel Zegler Returns to 'Evita' in London Friday After Exiting Performance Mid-Show Thursday Night 'Rob, second place to the lifetime achievement award, amazing,' Reynolds said as he began his tribute to his friend and longtime business partner after a lifetime achievement trophy had just been handed out to comedian George Wallace. 'Hollywood can be an insipid shithouse of round-the-clock shamelessness,' Reynolds said as he touted the need for rare character among creatives and execs in a business short of it. 'You have to be willing to be excited to grind and push a dream up a hill and have the wherewithal to do it on your own,' he added about those with the right stuff, before insisting Mac had all of that and more. 'Nobody does 17 seasons of a television show with the same cast and crew and also happens to be a dick,' Reynolds said of Mac's long-running star turn on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. 'And without Rob, there would be no donkey series called Welcome to Wrexham.' When he joined Reynolds on stage, Mac recalled getting into the comedy business while inside of him was a 'terrified little boy who feels very alone.' He added to make it in Hollywood, he had to find people 'who understand me, who see me, who understand who I am.' 'I'm here because of Ryan Reynolds, who not only took my career in the stratosphere but also flew here to give this to me,' Mac added, noting Reynolds had given up precious time as an busy, A-list actor to lead the JFL tribute. Mac also gave respect to Wrexham in Wales, his wife, Kaitlin Olson, FX and a host of others. 'I don't consider myself one of you. I'm holding on. I'm watching what you do, and I'm holding on for dear life,' Mac added before he received a second standing ovation from the JFL audience. Elsewhere during the Montreal awards show hosted by Matthew Broussard, there were endless jokes and other admissions of the pain that inspired stand-up comedy material, performances and careers. Benito Skinner, known for his online persona Benny Drama and as the creator and star of the Prime Video comedy Overcompensating, recalled having started out as a social media content creator and avoiding eye contact with comics when straying into comedy clubs. 'I still avoid eye contact with comedians, and I think you should too. We are all mentally ill,' a sarcastic Skinner said as he received a breakout comedy star of the year prize from Mary Beth Barone. Skinner also thanked JFL for aupporting his career, as did Hannah Berner, winner of the rising comedy star award this year. 'I want to thank JFL for putting me on New Faces a couple years ago and giving me my confidence. JFL has been so incredible to me and to all the comics who took me under their wings,' Berner said while clutching her comedy star trophy on stage at the MTelus theater on St. Catherine's Street. For a comedy business long dominated by men, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin felt the weight of the moment when the duo came up to receive the podcast of the year prize for their Handsome offering aimed at LGBTQ+ fans, including on behalf of co-host Tig Notaro, at the ComedyPRO conference kudos-fest. 'This means a lot to me, because I'm Canadian,' Martin said while on stage. 'For our community, representation is still very much needed and wanted, and it's cool to be talking about these different topics,' Feimster added. Also Friday, when it came time for George Wallace, star of Amazon's Clean Slate comedy and a stand-up legend, to receive a lifetime achievement award and a standing ovation in Montreal, he talked himself up with trademark charm and humor. 'That means you've been around for a while and know a few things. And I know a few things,' Wallace said after 49 years in the business and first coming to Just For Laughs to perform in the 1980s. 'I said God, let me be the greatest bullshitter in the world. And he said, well, Donald Trump beat you to that. I'm not supposed to do political stuff,' he added. Wallace also thanked his five agents, who were at his side in Montreal. 'They spent more money coming up here than they make for me,' he joked. The Just For Laughs comedy festival continues through to Sunday.

From the Archives: Vogue Revisits Jackie Kennedy's Literary Legacy as Doubleday Book Editor
'The First Lady of Letters,' by Darcey Steinke, was originally published in the February 2005 issue of Vogue. For more of the best from Vogue's archive, sign up for our Nostalgia newsletter here. 'Remember, just like you, Jackie Onassis puts her pants on one leg at a time,' my father reminded me as he helped me into the cab that ferried me up to the Doubleday offices in midtown Manhattan where Jackie was an editor. It was 1987, and I was 25 years old and still in graduate school at the University of Virginia. Dad's advice was meant to bolster my confidence, but it didn't really calm me as I sat under the harsh fluorescent light in Doubleday's waiting room. 'The wrrrrrriter!' Jackie said enthusiastically as she came through the door and took both my hands in hers. In person the tremendous symmetry of her face was startling; her cheekbones protruded, and her eyes were far apart. Jackie's dark hair was pulled back in a low ponytail held with a tortoiseshell clip. There was a skeletal elegance about her; she wore blue slacks, a tailored white shirt, and patent leather pumps. Her office was smaller and shabbier then I'd imagined, her metal desk piled high with white manuscript pages; she was in the process of collaborating on Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth. She asked me about my trip. I said the flight from Charlottesville had been bumpy and I didn't really like to fly. The corners of her mouth turned down, and she leaned forward. Unlike my mother, or any other older lady I knew, Jackie wasn't cautious or fearful. She thought you should try everything. 'Oh, Darcey,' she said in her lilting voice, which was famously feathery and very feminine, 'can't you have a little white wine on the plane? If you don't fly, you'll miss out on so much.' My cheeks flushed: I said I would try. I felt an odd intimacy with Jackie. She had become my editor after my writing teacher George Garrett, himself a Doubleday author, suggested I send her my first novel. Though we'd never met before and talked on the phone only once, I knew the outer structure of Jackie's life, and I wondered if she didn't feel exposed. Everyone who met her had seen footage of her in Dallas in the rawest moment of her life. We talked about my novel. Like many a young writer, Jackie said, I digressed too often. Flashbacks appeared on almost every page, and I used metaphors like drinking water. Up Through the Water takes place over a single summer on Ocracoke Island, on North Carolina's Outer Banks. I had waitressed there summers while I was in college, so I knew the general rhythms of a beach resort, but I didn't know much about narrative structure or motivation. Jackie was most interested in my character Emily, a promiscuous 35-year-old prep cook. 'She is an undine, who swims with the fish and sleeps with any sailor,' Jackie said. 'How will she deal with aging? Will she be able to be faithful to her boyfriend?' At 25, I'd never thought of promiscuity or taking one's youth for granted as something that might have tragic repercussions. As I listened to her I thought, How can the most elegant woman in America identify with a profligate prep cook? But Jackie found Emily mesmerizing. 'What is wrenching about her is that one of her loveliest facets, her animal nature, carries with it her doom.'
