Cate Blanchett

Karl Lagerfeld designed a custom-made jacket for Cate Blanchett's new movie.

The generous Chanel creative director has exclaimed that he would "do anything" for the stunning actress and sent her two bespoke jackets to wear in new Woody Allen-directed drama, 'Blue Jasmine', in which she plays a rich, luxury-obsessed New York City housewife.

The film's costume designer Suzy Benzinger told Lucky magazine: "I called up Karl Lagerfeld and, I have to tell you, I was astounded. I sent a note and in two days he shipped out two custom made jackets for Cate Blanchett with the most beautiful note. And I just thought, 'Oh my God!'

"He just said, 'For Cate, I'd do anything.' When the jackets arrived, I said, 'How could he do this?' It was right during the fashion shows and everything and he turned them around and sent them to me. Cate put it on and it was perfect."

And while Cate found herself adorned in gorgeous couture from Valentino and Carolina Herrera for her role as the titular Jasmine, the French fashion brand was a favourite on set.

Suzy added: "As far as the brands go for Jasmine, it really was Chanel and Fendi."
