Cate Blanchett made it to the list of the inaugural InStyle Women of Style Awards for the second time. Blanchett is among the ten women to have received the award in a ceremony attended by about 250 people in Sydney.
On receiving the recognition, Blanchett said that she was thrilled to be declared the winner over the likes of renowned choreographer Meryl Tankard and writer Tara June Winch.
“Being someone who has had the great good fortune to work in both film and theatre and having a passion for the visual arts as well as architecture, a diverse and broad culture is really important to me as an Australian," said Cate Blanchett.
Actress Toni Collette won the award in the entertainment category, while model and TV host Sarah Murdoch and retired surfer Layne Beachley tied for the award for community and charity work.
The panel of judges who declared the results were fashion designer Collette Dinnigan, film director Gillian Armstrong, and Museum of Contemporary Art director Elizabeth Ann Macgregor.
