As one of the golden actresses of contemporary times, it is only appropriate that Cate Blanchett is dressed in gilded gowns for the Vogue US January 2014 cover shoot. A queen in her own right, and not just because she played one for the movies, she exudes an empowering sense of elegance that very woman wishes she had and very few actually do.
The Vogue US January 2014 cover shoot was lensed by photographer Craig McDean. The blonde Australian beauty was styled by fashion editor Tonne Goodman in such luxury labels as Armani Prive, Dolce & Gabbana and Nina Ricci. Hitting stores just two days before Christmas, this issue could make the perfect last minute stocking stuffer.
