Breaking Cate Blanchett is wearing what to Singapore Fashion Week! SELFIE.png

#Throwback to my Shanghai shenanigans with the SK-II siren!

You know you’ve made it in life when you get to coerce Cate Blanchett into snapping a whole series of wincing #wefies right smack in her hotel suite itself …

I jest, of course, but when news broke today that the divine doyenne will be waltzing into sunny Singapore for SK-II (and #SFW, while she was at it) – well, you can imagine the spine-tingling “feels” I felt (and the blood-curdling yelps of “yaaas!” ricocheting round my office cubicle.)

Tantalisingly scant details have been leaked about the imminent royal visit, but a little birdie has very kindly fed me nuggets of insider info that you and only you, dear reader, are privy to.

Here’s what I can tell you. For one, Cate Blanchett will be FROW-ing at Victoria Beckham’s closing show on May 17, and she’ll be literally zipping in and out in a blink of a mascaraed eye; her regal presence is also required at the concurrent Cannes Film Fest, you see.

Cate and her trusty bottle of FTE, spotted backstage at the Oscars. Loving the bejewelled makeup pouch!

Another thing: Her #OOTD. My secretive source refuses to say “who” she’ll be wearing, save for this mouthwatering morsel: They’ve narrowed it down to three houses – Victoria Beckham, Diane von Furstenberg and Armani Prive.

All perfectly decent choices, granted, but who’s to say the couture clotheshorse won’t spring a Yohji Yamamoto or Iris van Herpen on the preening fashion folks at the photowall?

Oh yeah, the universe’s most famous SK-II face will naturally be sponsored by the Japanese prestige beauty brand. (Sidebar: The envious mind boggles at the prospect of having the poshest skincare swag whenever, wherever, but that’s celeb ballin’ for you.)

As for Cate’s makeup, I’m told that her entire glam squad will be tagging along with her, so beauty observers ought to be in for some ooh-ing and ah-ing.

So yes, I’m literally twiddling my thumbs in anticipation – and Cate, the world’s biggest fanboy is going to take another wefie with you, even if it means being manhandled by surly security. See you in a bit!
