Weekend Inspiration - Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine

I recently saw Blue Jasmine.  Cate Blanchett is so outstanding, you forget the plot holes in the movie.I haven't seen all the other Best Actress nominees' performances yet but if Cate wins the Oscar I wouldn't be surprised.The wardrobe was amazing as well.  I read that the costume designer, Suzy Benzinger, had a budget of only $35,000.  Most of the clothes were borrowed and every time Cate dropped the Birkin (which belonged to Benzinger and cost more than the entire budget) on the ground, people on set gasped.Beautiful Chanel jacket.  Poor Jasmine.  She was bananas.

I have a completely different build from Ms. Blanchett.  I'm not sure how any of these clothes would look on my short self, but I can dream about the accessories.

Buon weekend!
