Cate Blanchett, Michelle Williams and Jamie Lee Curtis led the stars this Thursday night at the glittering annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala.
The trio of busty bombshells all modeled midwinter chic black ensembles that plunged to showcase their cleavages as they strode the red carpet.
Jamie Lee, 64, the daughter of Old Hollywood stars Tony Curtis and Janet Lee, cut a glamorous figure in a suit that featured sheer lace trousers to emphasize her vertiginous legs.
Meanwhile Cate, who has drawn international critical acclaim for her searing new movie Tár, exuded old-fashioned showbiz elegance in a look that featured a cape redolent of the 1930s.
The widely feted actress, who is getting the Desert Palm Achievement Award at the current film festival, slid her lithe figure into a plunging black jumpsuit accented with shimmering embroidery.
As she swanned around the gala she managed to get in a red carpet reunion with German actress Nina Hoss, who plays her character’s wife in Tár.
Michelle, her hair in a short little bob that brought back memories of the flapper era, put on a leggy display in a tiny cocktail dress and heightened the effect with platform stilettos.
