Cate Blanchett's custom Louis Vuitton BAFTAs look was made using deadstock

The 'Tar' actress walked the red carpet in high-necked crepe-jersey claret dress teamed with a gem-encrusted choker that unfurled into a two-strand body chain of Tahitan pearls, and there was a strong message of sustainability in the creation.

But she said: "Deadstock is not a sexy word. But Nicolas [Ghesquiere, designer] used it to make a strong, sexy dress, and Francesca has brought her artistry to the fore yet again to rearrange and redesign a spectacular piece of body jewellery. I’m in awe of them both and relish collaborating with them at Louis Vuitton.”
