Cate Blanchett Returns for the Independent Spirit Awards 2015

Cate Blanchett goes for a lovely leafy look on the red carpet at the 2015 Film Independent Spirit Awards held on Saturday afternoon (February 21) at the beach in Santa Monica, Calif.

The 45-year-old actress is returning to the show once again after winning the Best Female Lead last year for her work in Blue Jasmine. Cate swept award season for her role in the film last year. Best of luck to all of the nominees tonight!
