Those shoes are really odd, I agree. She looks great, though.

Yes to the airbrushing, no to the super imposing of the head. That's her own body, and she does the dancing and everything else.

Here's an image from the making of Benjamin Button coffee table book, you can see her test fitting her dancer costume. Click to enlarge.



As you can see, it's her own body, and it looks simply smashing.

Actually they used body doubles in the dance scenes.

No problem! But I still don't agree. There was a stand in, but just for a couple shots that required exceptional skill.

More difficult than creating a convincing older character on screen, Blanchett said, were the dance combinations she was required to learn and perform for the film. Her own formal instruction in ballet ended in childhood, but Blanchett said she later studied movement in drama school. For Benjamin Button, Blanchett worked extensively with a choreographer and performed all her own dance scenes, though a stand-in was used for a couple of shots, including a sequence of really quick turns, she said.

Blanchett in the InStyle interview:

On dressing for the red carpet: “I love dressing up for the red carpet. It’s got to be fun, otherwise you’re just wasting your time. It’s not everyday you get to wear couture, so I do relish the chance to dress up.”

At the Armani Privé show today in Paris!

Finally new pictures! We've been deprived of Blanchett and her sublime style. She loves a good risk.

[ForChicSake]

[LolaSvelt]

She is 40. She's choosing to age naturally.
