Skeletal Cate Blanchett shocks NY fashion gala

Crikey! she looks like she's at death's door.

It's not just that she's scary thin, she really does look sick. The way all that make-up's piled on looks like an attempt to make her look healthy. She must have zero color under all that paint.

she's just ugly is all, like golem from LOTR.

SHIT! I'm shocked (and for me that's saying something). There's no way you need to starve yourself into 'a role' like this. She looked slim but healthy at the recent Oscars. This is scary.

Side Note: Cate and her husband have just been appointed as artictic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company which will keep her away from Hollywood for 6 months a year, or so she says. Maybe she'll have time to eat and/or quit whatever else she's done to get so skinny so quickly.

wow. she looks bad. if it is for a role why would she wear this dress? a nice big cape would have been better.

It seems like the new way celebuturds are covering for their excessive weight gains and losses is "movie role." Remember janet jackson pigging out and gaining a huge amount of weight? Yup, she said it was because of a movie role. Ya right.

Maybe she did lose weight for the role, maybe she didn't. But I think too many people take things to extremes (christian bale anyone?).

But no way she looks remotely healthy in these pics.

I do think she's thinner, but the lighting/angle makes her look worse; here's another pic, and she looks better in this one, IMO:

She looks gross. Another person with a fear of food.

**Picara** · May 8th, 2007, 10:45 PM

She's so thin. I hope she's not ill. I love her so.

**latinaforever** · May 8th, 2007, 11:36 PM

omg

I sincerely hope that a really bad combination of make-up / dress and angles made her look ill in those pictures. I think she is a good actress and pretty as well, she definitely doesn't need to slim down for attention.

**Voodoo Child** · May 9th, 2007, 12:41 AM

She looks effing bloody ugly that thin.

**enctpc** · May 9th, 2007, 03:40 AM

Not looking good Cate...

**A*O** · May 9th, 2007, 06:39 AM

These pics are all over the Aussie press and everyone is saying the same thing. Pull yourself together Cate. You're one of the smarter and talented actresses out there. You don't need this ED/size zero crap.
