Throwback Thursday! Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn

Happy Throwback Thursday my vintage glamour guys and dolls! Today we are looking at the ever elegant Cate Blanchett in her role as Katherine Hepburn in the 2004 film The Aviator.

Kate and Howard play golf. She complains that people call her "outdoorsy" when she prefers the term "athletic".

The Aviator is a biographical drama about the life of American tycoon and innovator Howard Hughes. This sometimes problematic genius is shown from early adult hood into his later life, wining and dining starlets like Ava Gardner to Jean Harlow to Katherine Hepburn.

This soft almost creme colored suit gets alot of screen time.

Hepburn, played by Blanchett, dates Howard seriously until his OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) tendencies worsen to the point of breaking them up. Even after their split he still tried to keep her name out of the paper when she starts an affair with Spencer Tracy.

See what I mean about draping over the scene? Cate is all arms and legs in this. 

Kate and the whole Hepburn clan; loving her sport coat here.

Cate just drapes herself over the scenery in this film, you get the sense of luxuriousness in her style.

Another great comparison photo.

A great side by side of  Katherine and Cate.
