Cate Blanchett left fans baffled after showing up at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards without her wedding ring on Sunday night.
The Australian actress, 54, married to playwright Andrew Upton, 58, since 1997, surprised at the British film industry event with a maroon Louis Vuitton dress and a striking combination of body chains.
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 earlier this month, when she attended an event in New York at the Museum of Modern Art on February 6.
Accompanied by Sophie’s Choice co-star Ethan Hawke, Cate oozed sophistication in a gray pantsuit with a gradient print and a bow necklace.
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.
