Wow them in a Louis Vuitton blouse like Cate
Fresh off a round of promos for her new movie Carol, Cate Blanchett is also Vogue Australia's cover girl for their December issue.
The Aussie beauty wore a top from Louis Vuitton's Resort 2016 collection. Featuring a baroque print, the ruffled blouse was adorned with a leather belt for a harness-like effect.
A top like this makes a statement by itself, so it's best to keep the rest of the outfit simple. A pair of jeans or a black skirt is all that's needed with a busy shirt such as this one.
Cate's linen number is available for $3800 (click right to buy). But unless you're rolling in dough, this aspirational piece may be beyond your reach. So we've gathered a selection of more budget friendly alternatives below starting at just $22.
The Melbourne-born beauty wears her highlighted locks piled high for the photoshoot in Sydney's Walsh Bay and keeps her make-up natural-looking.
Her feline features are accentuated with only a brushing of mascara and dusting of rouge and her pout is coloured a light shade of coral.
The mother of four strikes a number of stylish poses for the magazine as she and director husband Andrew Upton wind up their work at the Sydney Theatre Company’s amid plans to relocate to the US.

The Blue Jasmine star will take the couple's three biological sons with her husband of 17 years and adopted daughter Edith Vivian Patricia Upton whom they welcomed earlier this year.
In March Cate revealed she had adopted a baby girl and has since admitted the decision was a long time coming - with the couple first discussing the possibility of adoption 14 years ago.
'We actually began the conversation a very long time ago, after our first son was born and he's about to turn 14,' she told Women in the World's Tina Brown, adding: 'And then we just had two other children and it sort of dropped off the radar.'

She said the decision was not based on a desire to have a girl after having three sons - Dashiell, 13, Roman, ten, and Ignatius, six.
'I felt we had space, enough emotional room in our hearts and were privileged enough to have the capacity to have another child, so it wasn't about biology.
'It wasn't about a desire to have a girl, the gender of the children was never particularly important to me,' she added.

'It's more about their spirits but it's been a remarkable thing watching them welcome her and become, you know, a little troop.'
The actress also spoke about the importance of 'how we raise our boys' to help eradicate violence against women in the future.
Known for her interest in humanitarian causes, Blanchett is currently working on an Australian story that she hopes to adapt into a movie.
The true story is about a mentally unwell Australian woman who 'fell through the cracks' of the immigration, welfare and criminal justice systems to end up in a brutal detention centre.
'It wasn't about a desire to have a girl' The actress, pictured with her youngest son Ignatius in 2008, said that adopting a girl had nothing to do with already having three sons
Talk of the project prompted Brown to ask Blanchett her own thoughts on Australia's current system of immigration detention, to which the actress replied that she found her country's recent shift in attitude on immigration 'very strange'.
'We've had a mixed relationship with refugees over the years, Australia,' she said.
'It's very strange because on the one hand we're a nation that's built on immigration and we're signatories to the [19]51 convention and we've had in the past ... [a] very generous resettlement program for refugees.
'But in recent times governments have had, like a lot of governments around the world, a quite reactionary, backward-looking relationship to immigration policy.'
Blanchett added that attitudes towards immigrants in Australia used to be much more tolerant, saying: 'When I grew up there was multiculturalism.'
