Cate Blanchett and Rosamund Pike opt for matching black and white looks as they lead the chic arrivals for the Giorgio Armani Show at Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week

Cate Blanchett and Rosamund Pike opted for matching chic looks as they attended the Giorgio Armani Show during Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday.

Taking inspiration from the iconic designer, the pair twinned in matching black and white outfits, as they posed for snaps at the fashion event.

Cate opted for a black velvet cut-out jumpsuit with a white trim, while Rosamund opted for a classic black satin suit with a white blouse.

Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Week runs from July 6 to July 9 and will feature shows from 30 houses including Balenciaga, Fendi, Dior, and many more. 

No stranger to glamorous red carpet appearances, Cate recently showed she wasn't prepared to be messed with during a red carpet appearance at the Olivier Awards.

The Aussie star gave one noisy reporter the finger after the male photographer would not stop yelling at the Oscar winner for a photo op.

At first, Cate kept her cool, telling him with a smile to 'stop' asking for a picture at his convenience.

But after he insisted, the actress stuck up the middle finger of her left hand in his direction - while keeping her face turned away.

The cheeky gesture was met with a chorus of raucous laughter from the media scrum, while the Lord of the Rings star reacted with a broad grin.

A video of Cate's unexpected red carpet moment was later posted on the Movie TV News site and met with enthusiastic approval from fans.

'God, that was the smoothest, classiest flip I've seen in a minute,' gushed one person, while another added, 'I love her for this.'

'Cate & Kate Winslet are very similar in this regard,' commented another. 'Don't give them any bloody nonsense, they won't put up with it!!'

Meanwhile Rosamund has become a household name thanks to starring roles in a string of blockbusters, notably Gone Girl and James Bond thriller Die Another Day.

But away from the spotlight, she enjoys a life of comparative anonymity with her partner Robie Uniacke and their sons, Solo, 14, and Atom, 12. 

She ensured her partner was acknowledged while accepting the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress - reward for her performances in Suzie Miller's West End legal drama, Inter Alia - at London's Royal Albert Hall in April. 

In Miller's critically acclaimed play, Rosamund takes the lead as Jessica Parks, a pioneering Crown Court judge whose soaring career is complicated by her domestic responsibilities as the wife of a less successful barrister and mother to their young son. 

And the actress says her personal and professional parallels with the character prompted her to acknowledge the important role Uniacke, 65, plays in making their relationship work.   

'A lot of women have recognised themselves in the play, and thought, 'God, that is my life,' but then I thought, well, the only reason that I'm able to have my career is that I have got an incredibly supportive man,' she told GQ Hype. 'So why should I pretend that that's not the case? 

'Actually, I've got a man who at the moment has to do the bulk of the bedtimes while I'm doing the play. And the battles over homework, because that's the point I'm out the door. And I think it's important to acknowledge it. 

'And also my partner is a very sort of ... he values anonymity a lot. So I thought it'd be a nice moment to recognise [all that].' 

The fiercely guarded Pike embarked on a relationship with Eton educated former stockbroker Uniacke, who is some 18 years her senior, in 2009.
