Cate Blanchett, 55, stuns in a green three-piece suit as she leads stars at National Theatre after announcing plans to retire from acting


The Oscar-winning actress, 55, who recently declared that she is to retire from acting , looked incredible in a satin green three-piece suit.

Written by Wallace Shawn, Blanchett will play an unnamed traveller who falls ill in a foreign country riven by civil war. 'That special space was where my 16-year-old encountered Desert Island Discs and now he's completely obsessed with it, and, because the school run is quite long, it's where I listen to long-form radio drama.' Born in Melbourne, Cate started her movie career in Australia but quickly made an international breakthrough in 1998 with one of her first films, the historical drama Elizabeth.
