Hairstyle Stats

Haircuts/Hairstyles Change Tolerance: Moderate. You aren’t likely to see any trendy shaved-head hairstyles coming from this camp. But Cate Blanchett chooses a wide variety of hairstyles that are usually soft and feminine.

Hair Color Change Tolerance: Low. With the occasional brunette thrown in, when the Carol actress hits the red carpet, you can generally expect her to be blonde.

Wigs, Weaves, & Extensions: Not so much. Unlike the younger red carpet generation that clings to their long hair and extensions, Cate is most likely to be seen with her natural hair.
