Style Showdown: Elettra Wiedemann and Cate Blanchett Get Carried Away with Valentino’s Cape Dress and More Matching Celebs

April 9, 2014

Double-Take #1: Elettra Wiedemann and Cate Blanchett in Valentino

Elettra and Cate both felt the need to amp up Valentino’s Spring 2014 cape gown with some standout accessories. The model and socialite accented her version with a Sabine G. white gold necklace as well as a red hot pair of cut-out Jimmy Choo sandals at last week’s New York Observer Relaunch Event in New York City. Cate decided to add a little polish to her gown at December’s 10th Annual Dubai International Film Festival Opening Night Gala in the form of a layered Hervé Van der Straeten gold necklace. She kept the gold theme going with Christian Louboutin’s flashy Sylvette sandals. Which one styled this Valentino best?
