As a dedicated follower of fashion, I am absolutely smitten by Cate Blanchett’s latest red carpet appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Australian actress, with her whimsical spirit and impeccable style, never fails to surprise us. Her choice of clothing is not just about making a statement, it’s about sending a powerful message about sustainability.


As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must say that Cate Blanchett effortlessly showcased her playful spirit at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Disclaimer, donning a captivating black ensemble.

The bottom edge of the suit’s jacket was adorned with spoons, a tool commonly used for eating, instead.

The spoons were arranged in a row at the base of the coat, creating a bulky structure reminiscent of a bustle, with each spoon stacked upon the other to add thickness.

Previously, the Australian actress, who is now 55 years old, has also donned the tool typically used for serving soup and ice cream as an article of clothing on other occasions.

In August, she wore a halter top made of 120 spoons to the premiere of Borderlands in Los Angeles.

Ellen Hodakova Larsson, a Swedish fashion designer, is the creative mind behind these designs. She gathered the spoons used in their creation from various locations throughout her hometown of Stockholm.

Larsson consistently incorporates sustainability into her designs by creatively reusing and transforming materials into unique, playful pieces.

‘We had a tablecloth that she made a dress out of,’ Larsson told Cultured. 

Instead of often purchasing new items for us, my parents primarily focused on making or crafting what my brother and I required ourselves.

In the spirit of my devotion, for the Fall/Winter 2023 collection, I crafted a pencil skirt using intricate belt designs, and transformed an ankle-length gown into a stunning creation made entirely out of sewing needles.

In both instances, the actress from Don’t Look Up accessorized her spoon-topped attire with sleek, tailored black trousers featuring a crisp, slender pleat along the legs and completed the look with stylish black heels.

For her red carpet look in Toronto, Cate kept her accessories minimal, letting the spoons do the work of the usual red carpet bling.  

In 2019, as reported by Vogue, magician Uri Gellar expressed that spoons are not just ordinary kitchen utensils but rather exquisite artworks. He pointed out that each spoon possesses a unique and aesthetically pleasing shape, and added that they have an alluring sensuality, making them a tool for nourishing the body in a captivating way.

He said, “You place it in your mouth, and let me tell you, it involves using a spoon! I won’t go into further detail about the meaning of ‘spooning’…

According to Geller, rather than simply being aesthetically pleasing, the spoon-adorned outfits worn by Blanchett serve as a tribute to eco-friendly or sustainable fashion.

The Academy Award-winning celebrity is recognized for donning previously worn outfits on the red carpet, making her an excellent ambassador for the designer’s philosophy.

2020 found me expressing my thoughts in an interview with WWD, stating that what we once saw as seasonal fashion has evolved into something far more versatile – trans-seasonal, multiseasonal. I noted that designers are now creating pieces intended not just for the runway, but also for outlet stores, reflecting a shift towards all-year-round availability and flexibility in style choices.

Given that we’re now buying approximately 18 billion items of clothing annually, an increase of 400% over the last ten years, it becomes clear that the current system isn’t sustainable,” she concluded.

She believes that many fashion brands are embracing sustainability as a concept, but the challenge lies in transforming their business strategies to align with this goal. This transformation isn’t something that can happen overnight, but it is necessary.

I excitedly shared that I’ve engaged in conversations with several talented designers, brainstorming about creating a unique collaboration. Our aim is to design a collection that champions the art of upcycling and reusing fabrics.
