Hollywood star Kate Blanchett recently walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. During her appearance, she wore no footwear. It was a deliberate move on her part, in that she pivoted the attention to Iranian Women and their causes by showing solidarity with them. She attended the red carpet event on the premiere of her latest film, The New Boy.
It’s especially significant in a political sense because at the French Riviera, heels are considered symbols of political fervour. While she made a fashion statement to show her solidarity, she also said while presenting Zahra Amir Ebrahimi with an award, ‘This is to stab everyone who stands in the way of women’s rights. Up the vajayjay.” Ebrahimi also said that the award ‘celebrates the paradox’ of an actress presenting her own emotions, and in that, serving as a ‘flag or mirror or light’.
