The 47-year-old actress has admitted shoes are her current fashion obsession, and the one wardrobe staple she is "all about" this season, whether it is a pair of heeled sparkly stilettos, a flat pump, or a sporty trainer.

Speaking to Vogue.com, about her favourite trend, the golden haired beauty said: "It's all about shoes for me in winter.

"I've been relishing my footwear."

And the 'Carol' star has revealed there are two pairs of shoes she owns, which she credits as her ultimate must-haves at the moment.

She explained: "[One is a] Roger Vivier semi-sneaker look that is completely sparkly.

"[The other] a patent leather sort of brown-y aubergine [flat shoe from] AGL. They're amazing."

And Cate has revealed she has noticed she has started to wear feminine dresses "less and less and less", as she prefers to opt for the androgynous style to adorn a tailored suit instead.

She said: "I'm wearing dresses less and less and less I've always loved a well-made suit."

Cate - who has sons Ignatius, eight, Roman, 12, and Dashiell, 15, as well as adopted daughter Edith, with her husband Andrew Upton - has revealed she prefers "divesting" in her wardrobe instead of investing, and will often trade clothes with her friends.

She said: "I'm all about divesting. Trading, swapping, coveting friends' wardrobes."

And the Australian star has admitted her borrowing tactics has seen her bag a "really great" denim jacket.

Speaking about the item, she said: "I got a really great denim jacket. I'm loving the double denim."

However, Cate has also given away some of her beauty products, and has admitted she once gave away her perfume to a taxi driver when the man complimented her on her fragrance.

Speaking previously about her generous trade, she said: "A cabbie once asked me what fragrance I was wearing, because it was his girlfriend's birthday. And I was so touched that I gave him the bottle. It was actually a very exclusive Armani Prive scent and I didn't have another one, but I had to give it to him because I thought he would never find it."
