She played the flawlessly beautiful elf queen Galadriel in The Lord Of The Rings.

And Cate Blanchett was looking almost as good as ever as she turned heads at an event celebrating Spanish director Pedro Almodovar in New York on Tuesday.

The 47-year-old Australian beauty certainly caused a stir as she flaunted her ageless figure in a flattering gown at the opening night of his career retrospective, which was held at the city's prestigious Museum of Modern Art.

Mother-of-four Cate certainly looked every inch the Bobby Dazzler in her eye-catchng golden gown, which she coupled with a pair of towering red stilettos.

The saucy starlet recently moved to the Big Apple to play Anna Petrovna in The Present, a a re-imagination of Anton Chekhov's play Platonov by her playwright husband Andrew Upton.

On her favorite thing about the city, she said: 'This is going to sound banal, but the cut and thrust of it.

'You look over the guard, and it's the park, and then, like Versailles, you've go this central garden and this crazy jungle on every side of it.'

Indeed. And while Cate is focused on her upcoming play while juggling her family, her sons' 'focus is slightly different than mine.'

She recalled that when she told them about possible exhibitions to view or old movies to see in the NYC, 'they came back with the best place to buy Cronuts. It keeps it real, I guess.'

Meanwhile, it was the second time this week Cate had turned heads at a high profile event, as she donned a hideous multicoloured top, with matching ridiculous spectacles, when she presented a tribute award to her friend Amy Adams at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York on Monday.

Amy received a tribute at the ceremony and described the honour as 'coming full circle', after scooping the breakthrough actress award 11 years ago.

Speaking on the red carpet, she said: 'I always feel like 42 is young to get a tribute, but I'm really honoured.'
