At the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, Armani Privé created Cate Blanchett’s black lace gown.
Blanchett wore the black lace Armani Privé gown at the 71st Golden Globe Awards on January 12, 2014. The dress combined a sheer lace bodice with a full satin skirt, creating a vintage-inspired but sharply tailored red-carpet appearance.
Armani Privé is Giorgio Armani’s haute couture line, launched in 2005. Blanchett frequently wore Armani designs during the awards campaign for Blue Jasmine, the film that earned her the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture—Drama.
The dress is sometimes mistakenly attributed simply to Giorgio Armani or to another black-lace look from Blanchett’s awards-season wardrobe. “Giorgio Armani” identifies the designer’s wider fashion company, while Armani Privé is the specific couture label credited for this gown. Blanchett later won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the same film.
