What a difference a day makes. Just 24 hours after the actress's gaunt appearance startled onlookers at a benefit gala - actress Cate Blanchett looks back to her sleek best.

Appearing at a gala for Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People In The World, the actress' well-chosen black gown and glossy hair and make-up is in stark comparison to her appearance which shocked onlookers at the Costume Institute fashion gala.

In comparison to yesterday's disaster where she appeared frail and painfully thin, Cate's sleeveless black gown suits her slender frame, and cleverly conceals the jutting collarbones which featured so prominently in the gold-fringed gown she wore at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

And unlike the previous night's disaster - this is a look which screams do try this at home.
