Jamie Lee Curtis looked as timeless as ever in an all white, fashionably cut suit with a string of pearls and black clutch. Meanwhile, Cate Blanchett’s attire was as high-fashion as her cheekbones. She wore a muted yellow, monotone suit with a matching full length jacket draped over her shoulders and a sleek updo.
On the other side of fashion, Michelle Williams showed off her playful side in a denim skirt-and-short sleeve-top set with gold flower buttons and her adorable blonde bob haircut.
