The magnificence that is Cate Blanchett was at the opening of the 2013 International Dubai Film Festival. For the event she wore this burgundy Valentino cape dress. I am totally and utterly in love with it. I will hear no different.

And that neckpiece with which she accompanied it. Bloody hell. It is a cracker. Kate Middleton take note. This is how you do a statement neckpiece. This golden Hervé Van der Staeten piece perfectly accented the stark simplicity of the dress. The shoes are Louboutin.
