Cate Blanchett has been awarded one of France’s most prestigious cultural awards and Kate Moss’ daughter, Lila Grace is the latest victim of photoshop-gone-wrong in an issue of Vogue.
The Sydney Theatre Company has been touring to rave reviews and sold out performances with a little help from Cate Blanchett.
The Australian actress as well as the STC’s artistic director, was presented with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des arts et des lettres last week by French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand; the award recognises significant contributions to the arts and literature.
Blanchett, 42, is starring as Lotte in the company’s touring production of Gross und Klein (Big and Small) and STC general manager Patrick McIntryre said while the award was a well-deserved personal honour for Blanchett, it was broadly representative of all Australian artists.
“I think the real story is what this means to Australia . . . to have an Australian artist recognised by the French government in this way,” he said. “The fact that it’s Cate and that she is on stage in Paris makes it extra special. This is an extraordinary and well-deserved honour.”
“To have won over the notoriously tough Parisian audiences is a wonderful start (to the tour),” he said. The production, which will continue its way to London where it will headline the Cultural Olympiad festival, before touring Vienna and the German festival city of Recklinghausen.
It has been said that Blanchett and her husband, fellow STC co-artistic director Andrew Upton, will leave the company next year.
In a completely unnessesary photoshop fail, supermodel Kate Moss’ equally as gorgeous daughter, Lila Gace, has had the tips of her fingers airbrushed out.
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it situation, Jezebel online has pointed out to the world the photoshop accident that now can’t be ignored. Not many people can say their intimate mother-daughter portrait (in the September issue of Vogue mind you) received a little too much airbrushing!
Given the positioning of the fingers and the context of the photo shoot, at RESCU, we can’t quite wrap our heads around how this went so terribly wrong!
In what world do we live where an 8 yr old child’s fingers need to even remotely touched with the clone tool? Where should these re-thouchers draw the line?
