At a benefit to end gun violence organised by the Newtown Action Alliance, Cate Blanchett took to the stage at New York’s historic Stonewall Inn wearing a sparkling gold bra, a blazer and glittering red lips – with her husband Andrew Upton among those in the crowd.

The Australian actor lip-synched to Dusty Springfield’s take on You Don’t Own Me, before returning to the stage for Margeaux Powell’s performance of Adele’s Hello, donning a pink ‘pussy hat’ – the knitted beanies that were prevalent throughout the Women’s March on Washington.
