Cate Blanchett commanded attention on Tuesday evening, as she led the star-studded arrivals at the premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim in London.

She teamed the racy top with an oversized tweed blazer and matching straight-leg trousers, while boosting her height with a pair of black stilettos.

The two-time Oscar winner wore her short blonde bob poker straight, and opted for a soft palette of makeup to accentuate her natural beauty.
She was joined on the red carpet by one of the animated film's lead stars, Gaia Wise, who exuded elegance in a sequinned white gown.
