“What I love about film is the way it draws us into compelling human themes to uncover the connective tissue that binds us all,” Blanchett tells PEOPLE in a statement. “Whenever I have met refugees — in places such as Lebanon, Jordan or Bangladesh, in the U.K., or back home in Australia — what has struck me has not been their ‘otherness’ but how many things we share in common.”

For the BAFTAs, Blanchett wore the floor-skimming gown with frayed hems with a two-toned pearl Louis Vuitton necklace that extended onto her left shoulder. The actress also paired the look with matching pearl earrings.
For its original outing, the dress' frayed hems weren’t as pronounced. She also opted for a quintessential mid-2010s turquoise statement necklace from Tiffany & Co. and a small black clutch to complete the look.
The actress pulled anotherred carpet rewearfor the Screen Actors Guild Awards in February. Blanchett opted once again to repurpose a gown from her own archives, this time donning the “third iteration” of a black lace Giorgio Armani Privé number that she wore to the 2014Golden Globesand to the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.
The exquisitely detailed dress was initially created from sheer fabric and delicate lace with a high neck and cap sleeves; the most recent take on it incorporated the lace into a black sequin bodice with fitted skirt and sleeves cut along the lace pattern. She opted for a romantic, wavy long bob and rosy makeup to offset the slightly edgy vibes of the gown.
