Cate Blanchett smoulders in an elegant cream and nude lace overlay pencil dress as she attends beauty event in China

By Sharnaz Shahid

She is famed for being one of Hollywood’s most stylish leading ladies, and always manages to look preened to perfection.

So it comes as no surprise that Cate Blanchett stepped out in yet another elegant ensemble at the SK-II beauty event in Shanghai, China on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old actress, who has been named an ambassador for the company, was the epitome of class in a nude coloured number, which had a white lace and sheer overlay.

Opting to accessorise with nothing more than her wedding band and a pair of diamond stud earrings, Cate created an all-white look with nude patent heels.

She simply accentuated her famous features with a few strokes of black eyeliner and a rose pink lip and finished her natural make-up look with a hint of blush, while her blonde locks were swept to one side in a sleek ponytail.

The Australian beauty was joined at the event by Chinese movie siren Tang Wei, South Korean star Kim Hee-ae and The Flowers of War actress Ni Ni.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jasmine star - who won an Oscar and a Golden Globe earlier this year – has a busy schedule ahead with various projects either in pre or post-production.

According to Deadline, Cate has signed up to star alongside Robert Redford in upcoming drama Truth.

The 77-year-old actor is set to play iconic CBS News reporter Dan Rather with the actress playing his producer Mary Mapes.

The movie will reportedly delve into the scandal surrounding Rather's declaration that preferential treatment saw George W Bush enlisted in the National Guard in order to avoid being drafted during the Vietnam War.

Mapes was famously fired for 'lapses in judgment' after 25 years at the station following an investigation commissioned by CBS into what was dubbed 'Rathergate'.

The screenplay is being adapted from Mapes' 2005 memoir, Truth And Duty: The Press, The President, And The Privilege Of Power.

There has been so much hate and anger towards her since early 2014. First for working with Woody Allen after 1992, and now for starring in upcoming Dan Rather movie with Robert Redford. Please, enough with the hate and anger towards her.

are you talking about the same actress - usually there is nothing but positive comments about her. She's beautiful, a great actress and every single time she gets it right with her clothes.

She's a hypocrite. She claims she's a feminist and in every acceptance speech complains about actresses not being taken seriously and then she runs around to "beauty events". Make up your mind Cate, either you're a serious artist or you're a glam celeb. You can't be both.
