Keeping with the season’s trend of embellishment around the neck, Cate Blanchett showed up for the New York premiere of The Monuments Men in a Proenza Schouler mock-turtleneck gown. Paired with a chic updo and Chopard earrings, the stiff collar makes for a refined head shot, though the waistline of the dress is a bit questionable. With a combination of boxy shoulders, belted peplum, and a calf-length flouncy skirt, the overall look falls somewhere on the spectrum between flamenco dancer and corset-wearing Victorian — albeit covered in sequins.
