Cate Blanchett Channels the Tin Man at 2010 Tony Awards

Looks like Australia native Cate Blanchett is taking her Oz roots to heart -- the actress turned up at the 2010 Tony Awards looking like a glam Tin Woodsman!

Blanchett was clearly thinking Emerald City when choosing her outfit for the Radio City event. With her blonde hair smartly parted to the side -- what, no funnel hat? -- the 41-year-old Oscar winner literally shone in a Giorgio Armani Privé silver organza evening suit, which included technical fabric, a shawl lapel, exaggerated shoulders, and flared trousers. (Um, we can't even imagine the skinny-leg version.)

But, instead of pinning a heart-shaped timepiece on a chain to her metallic suit, Blanchett opted to accessorize her chic ensemble with some serious bling from Van Cleef & Arpels: the "Zip Pompon" necklace, which is comprised of over 450 diamonds set in white gold with a working zipper, and the "Laureen" ring, a 5-carat emerald-cut diamond set in platinum. She completed her look with a Roger Vivier "Boite de Nuit" clutch.

Blanchett, who is co-artistic director of the Sydney Theatre Company and has appeared at New York City's Brooklyn Academy of Music in "Hedda Gabler" and "A Streetcar Named Desire," was on hand at the Tony Awards to present the Best Play and Best Revival of a Play awards.

We're guessing someone was waiting in the wings with an oilcan just in case she found herself speechless.

In related news, check out Blanchett's W magazine cover story, in which she talks about her style and passion for theater.

I don't know where you bloggers come from but I wish you'd go back. Your comparison of Cate's outfit to the Tinman is both mean and stupid. This makes you almost as idiotic as the jerkette who dissed Sophia Loren a few months ago.

AOL needs to find some writers who have some class and can come up with original material without making fun of people where it is clearly undeserved.

Boo. Hiss.

I think she looks stunning. The pants don't look wide-legged to me, although I'm not a fan of shoulder pads. Cate is a gorgeous woman with high style. I really can't see how the writer evokes the Tin Man just because a mettalic outfit is being worn. Some warped imagination, I gues.

The press REALLY needs to get a life. Cate is a wonderful woman, a supurb actress, and there is nothing wrong with the outfit she is wearing, she is beautiful. Does everything silver remind the writer of the tin man? What must brown do?

She looked hot...certainly a cut above the rest of the boring black dresses.

As I am an older man, I really know & appreciate a truly beautiful woman when I see one. Cate looks quite lovely & extremely radiant! She is not too thin, just like Baby Bear's porriage, she is just right! And all I can say is, "Wow!"

Any chance she would let us feel to see if she has a heart already or needs a new one?

I think she looks amazingly beautiful! The outfit suits her.....it's classy, stylish, and, ....from a native New Yorker, she looks sooooo New York!!!!!!

Her shoes are perfect, along with the hair, and other accessories. Way to look good, Cate!

For those who don't like it......hey, everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

The people on here who trash the comments of those who don't agree with theirs, make me puke!

Yes! Blanchett looks spectacular. However the writer is off in LaLaLand with the moronic 'Oz' references. He/she needs to get a grip.

What a stunner Cate Blanchett was in the silver outfit. I sometimes wonder where these fashion critics got their taste from because a lot they think is beautiful is totally NOT.
Thumbs up Cate.
