Cate Blanchett dismissed rumors about the state of her marriage as she stepped out with husband Andrew Upton in London on Thursday.
The couple looked in good spirits as they attended a special event featuring her role as creative director of alcohol brand Toku Saké.
The Australian star, 54, looked sensational in tight black leather pants for the launch event at the capital’s Supermarket of Dreams.
She paired the leather pants with a corset-style zippered patent leather jacket and leather stilettos and wore her blonde locks in loose, shoulder-length waves.
Cate completed the striking look with natural makeup, consisting of light pink glossy lips, highlighter, and subtle mascara.
Cate Blanchett dismissed rumors about the state of her marriage as she stepped out with husband Andrew Upton in London on Thursday.
The couple looked in good spirits while attending the launch of alcohol brand Toku Saké, where the actress serves as creative director.
Rumors of marital problems arose when she was seen on several occasions without her wedding ring.
The revelation comes just two days after speculation arose about her marriage to Andrew, 58, when she was spotted on multiple occasions not wearing her dazzling wedding ring.
Cate, who has been married to playwright Andrew since 1997, left fans baffled after turning up at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards without her ring.
She stunned at the British film industry event in a maroon Louis Vuitton dress and eye-catching body chain combo.
However, instead of wearing her white gold and diamond wedding sparkler, the Blue Jasmine star rocked a large emerald cocktail ring.
Her husband did not attend the event.
Interestingly, Cate was also spotted without a ring last month, when she attended an event in New York at the Museum of Modern Art on February 6.
Cate made no attempt to hide her bare ring finger as she smiled for photos outside the exclusive event.
In October 2023, Cate was once again seen without her wedding ring while sitting front row at the Stella McCartney show during Paris Fashion Week.

Cate appeared to sit on Andrew’s lap at one point as she enjoyed the launch with other attendees.
Instead, the actress wore a set of elegant gold rings on her ring finger.
speaking to Women’s Day magazine, a source close to the couple said that Cate’s missing ring has raised alarm bells about the state of their marriage.
‘Seeing Cate without her ring has shocked her friends. For the first time they are wondering if things are not going so well,” says the source.
A question mark has been hanging over Cate and Andrew’s marriage for some time.
The pair have not been seen on a date since August, when they were photographed enjoying a sun-soaked holiday in Ibiza, the release being their first in seven months.
They also attracted attention last month after putting their sprawling mansion in Prahran, Melbourne, up for sale.
The three-bedroom family home, which the couple bought in 2006, sold for more than $3 million.

Cate and Andrew have lived in the UK since 2015 and still own several other properties together.
Their portfolio includes a glorious Victorian mansion in East Sussex, England, which they bought for £4.9 million (AU$9.4 million) in 2015.
The couple also owns an investment property in Sydney’s CBD.
Cate and Andrew share three children; Dashiell, 22, Roman, 19, and Ignatius, 16, and a daughter named Edith, eight.
