Fall has arrived early for Cate Blanchett, who wore a blue velvet suit while appearing on “Good Morning America” on Monday.

Blanchett paired a denim print Brandon Maxwell tailored jacket with matching straight-leg trousers made from the cozy textile. Both items came from the designer’s resort 2025 collection. The actress’ brown leather belt, also by Maxwell, featured a statement heart-shaped buckle. A pair of oversize aviator frames and burgundy crocodile pumps completed Blanchett’s look.

Speaking to hosts Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, Blanchett explained how “Borderlands” differs from her past roles.

“When Gearbox said they were making this I thought, ‘I haven’t done that before,'” she said. “I didn’t know the game at all, so it was a deep dive for me.”

“What did you give me that you have never given anyone else, I hope, in Budapest in your hotel room that involves beauty products?” she asked.

“That secret has to stay between us, Jamie Lee,” Blanchett replied in jest. “No, I gave her a facial. That’s all it was.”
