I am sure there are plenty of people who complain that Comic-Con isn’t what it used to be — whatever it is that it used to be — and while I don’t know about that, I WILL say that when Cate Blanchett shows up for your event, you can’t say it isn’t major. (She was there for the panel for The Hobbit 3: Back In The Hobbit, which…don’t even get me started on the fact that they made The Hobbit into a trilogy. Not everything need be split into thirds. Sometimes both your sandwich and your relatively slim volume of elfin adventure can be consumed in one sitting.)
I don’t HATE this, but I do think it looks like a Project Runway challenge where everyone had to take her bathrobe and make it into a day dress. It might WIN that challenge, but still.
She looked much less fussy when she arrived at LAX this week:

When it comes to the skirt, though, it’s more like when you fall in love with a short scrawny tattooed drummer despite a lifetime of dating burly football players: It’s unexpected, but fabulous, and you should just go with it. I will happily go anywhere with that skirt.
But let’s get real: I’m sure you really just want to get a closer look at these shoes:
