Cate Blanchett

[godigita]

They super imposed her head onto a younger girls body and they use an airbrushing technique..

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.
Thanks for the scan!

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.”

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.

who said anyhting about her age or face for that matter?? the dress is boring to me and makes her look old imo, maybe i should have worded it better but don't jump to conclusions, i prefer actresses/musicians who age gracefully too.B) also she looks more radiant/stunning than miss fox.

not my favourite looks from her but her face look great as allways. i love her face features they are so unique!

 

[Melly5525]

I think she looks really stunning in these pics, love her hair pulled back and the Armani dress is beautiful something I think only Cate with her stature and mystery could pull off as well.

 

[leiwen]

She looks fantastic!!!!

she's just sooo beautiful, in her own way

I just think that the dress could have been a little bit shorter

 

[adore dior]
