Cate Blanchett cuts a quirky figure in a monochrome jumpsuit as she attends the Camerimage closing ceremony in Poland

Cate Blanchett cut a quirky figure as she attended the Camerimage closing ceremony in Torun, Poland on Saturday.

The Australian actress, 55, showed off her unique sense of style in a monochrome jumpsuit.

The unusual outfit which was white, featured a black sleeveless jumpsuit print over the top, giving the impression she was wearing another one.

The bold getup featured collared lapels and a gold ʙuттon front and centre, making the illusion even ore striking.

Cate added a few extra inches to her already 5′ 8.5 frame in a pair of pointed black heels and accessorised with gold earrings and silver glᴀsses.

It comes after Cate continued to showcase her unique style, at the Camerimage Film Festival earlier in the week after the event was embroiled in misogyny row.

For the outing, Cate donned smart brown trousers and a textured brown blazer over a plaid ʙuттon-up shirt as she took to the stage at the event.

She teamed the look with a pair of Stella McCartney Elyse platforms, which set her back a whooping £670.

The star pulled her blonde locks into an up do and accessorised with silver frame glᴀsses and minimal jewellery. 

Kate, who serves as the President of the festival’s main compeтιтion jury, was joined on stage by film producer Anna Higgs. 

Anna looked stylish in a casual grey suit which she teamed with white trainers. 

It comes a week after the Camerimage Film Festival faced backlash over controversial comments made by its director, Marek Żydowicz, sparking allegations of misogyny.

The film festival was supposed to be one of the industry’s most H๏τly anticipated events of the year.

Hollywood heavyweights such as Cate led the prize jury and director Steve McQueen was to be a guest of honour.

However, the festival was thrown into chaos after the Polish filmmaker and founder penned an article many have called ‘profoundly misogynistic’.

This led stars to pull out and protests to take to the streets.

Writing in a column for Cinematography World magazine, he said: ‘Should we reject what is esteemed and valuable just to ‘make space’ for the necessity of social change?

‘Whilst festivals like Cannes, Berlin or Venice are criticised for their selections due to succumbing to or promoting [political or ideological trends], Camerimage remains committed to artistic values as the foremost criterion for qualifying and promoting film art.’ 

In response to his comments, Steve McQueen cancelled his trip and withdrew his film Blitz – which was supposed to start the festival.

It comes a week after the Camerimage Film Festival faced backlash over controversial comments made by its director, Marek ¿ydowicz (pictured), sparking allegations of misogyny

He was joined by the French female director Coralie Fargeat of the hit body horror blockbuster The Substance starring Hollywood legend Demi Moore.

In words reported by The Times, Fargeat said: ‘The Substance is about the impact of precisely these kinds of behaviours on our world. We shouldn’t tolerate them any more.’

The British Society of Cinematographers (BSC), whose members have won a combined 22 Oscars, published an open letter condemning Zydowicz’s column.

At first Zydowicz tried to stand his ground arguing that his comments had been ‘misinterpreted.’

As opposition grew so did the pressure on the 65-year-old director who later issued an apology claiming it was never his intention to ‘undermine the achievements of any film-makers.’

He also added that ‘Whether this misunderstanding stemmed from an unfortunate choice of words or inaccurate translation from Polish is irrelevant.’

The main jury members including Cate decided to attend the festival.

In a statement they said they welcomed debate regarding gender representation and that they ‘wholeheartedly support the necessary shift towards genuine inclusivity.’

The festival is set to see the world premiere of Alec Baldwin’s western rust which faced delays after Baldwin accidentally sH๏τ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while on set in October 2021.

Other films being shown include Dune: Part Two and the upcoming musical Wicked.
