Cate Blanchett’s support for Palestine.

According to Cinemadrame, reactions to Cate Blanchett’s outfit, the famous actress, at the Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet have sparked controversy. The design and color combination of the dress that Blanchett wore on the red carpet has been interpreted by fans as a “statement of solidarity with Palestine.”

On the evening of May 31, the 55-year-old Australian star and two-time Oscar winner appeared on the red carpet of the 77th Cannes Film Festival, wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier dress, at the screening of “The Teacher,” the latest work by Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi. She was surrounded by cameras of dozens of photographers and industry professionals.

However, what has become particularly controversial in recent hours, especially on social media, is the color scheme of the fabric used in Blanchett’s dress (black, white, and green), which, against the backdrop of the red carpet, seems reminiscent of the Palestinian flag. Fans have interpreted her outfit as a declaration of “solidarity with the people of Palestine.”
