What the what?!

Cate Blanchett is known for taking fashion risks on the red carpet and she usually nails it when it comes to edgy, high fashion looks. But the Oscar winner's latest haute couture ensemble has some fans scratching their heads.

The Aussie actress attended the New York Film Festival premiere of her new film Carol the other day wearing a black Aouadi Paris dress that featured tattoo illusion details on the sleeves and chest. In addition to words like "passion" and "emotion," the dress also featured leaves, branches, roses and butterfly imagery.

The tattoo illusion effect is definitely bold and unique, but does it scream fashion risk-taker or just plain tacky? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
