Global star Cate Blanchett announced her support for the Palestinian cause in an innovative way on the red carpet at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. She blended the colors of the Palestinian flag into her dress, lifting the train to align with the red carpet, showcasing the colors of the Palestinian flag. The Australian actress's stance received widespread admiration from audiences around the world, expressed through posts on social media.
Many social media users praised Cate's bravery in challenging the festival's earlier decision, which prohibited the wearing of any clothing, pins, or flags in support of political causes, intending to focus solely on cinema this year. Among the comments were remarks like: "Cate Blanchett, with a brave heart, delivered the most meaningful appearance at this year's Cannes Film Festival."
