Truth Or Dare

Cate Blanchett is covering Vogue, yet again this December. It seems like she gets a Vogue cover at least once a year, though she does make a wonderful dress model. She looks gorgeous and oh so statuesque in the gold Donna Karen Resort 2010 gown in the cover shot. Cate discusses the theatre and her latest role as Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey Theater.

Cate Blanchett may have her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and appear on a postage stamp as one of four "Australian Legends of the Screen," but she remains a creature of the stage. In an era when movie stars try to prove their credibility with brief flights on Broadway, she has made a nest on the end of a wharf in Sydney, Australia, performing Ibsen and Shakespeare, directing Pinter, and, as of last year, serving with her husband, the playwright Andrew Upton, as co-artistic director of the Sydney Theatre Company.

The article, titled "Truth or Dare" is rather extensive and we honestly haven't read through the whole thing yet, but we do approve of the Oscar de la Renta (below) and Valentino gowns Cate wears in the shoot! As for the drama faces shot... no comment.
