Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton have long kept their family life private but it looks like eldest son Dashiell is ready to step out into the spotlight.
The 22-year-old joined his mom for a rare red carpet appearance on Thursday September 27 along with George and Amal Clooney, and Emily Blunt at the Albie Awards in New York City.
Wearing a smart black suit with a double-breasted blazer and a blue ribbon pinned to the collar, Dashiell – who goes by Dash – looked dashing for the big night with mom Cate.
The awards ceremony, held at the New York Public Library, aims to “shine a protective spotlight on courageous justice defenders who are at risk, sending a message to those who abuse human rights that the world is watching”.
The Albies are named after anti-apartheid hero Justice Albie Sachs, who received a lifetime achievement award at the charity’s inaugural fundraiser in 2022.
The mother and son duo held hands as they made their way into the event – held in the New York Public Library – and Cate then proudly looped an arm through her son’s as they walked the red carpet.
