Cate Blanchett's handsome son, Ignatius Martin, stole the spotlight from his Oscar-winning mother at Paris Fashion Week.
The Academy Award-winning actress, 57, who is known for iconic roles in films like Tar, Carol, Notes on a Scandal, and The Talented Mr. Ripley, was absolutely stunning at the Giorgio Armani Privé fashion show as part of Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2026. But it was her 18-year-old son, whom she shares with her husband of 29 years, Andrew Upton, who officially made headlines. Notoriously private, Blanchett rarely hits the red carpet with her family by her side.
Ignatius sported shaggy brown hair and a cropped black jacket as he walked the red carpet with his mom, who looked every bit the movie star in a black jacket, matching pants, and sunglasses.

Back in 2020, Blanchett revealed that her son's name is rooted in books. But it's the unlikely literary origin that might have you letting out a laugh. It comes from the children's novel series, Captain Underpants, by Dav Pilkey.
“I was eight months pregnant and hallucinating, and there’s a section in the book where he gets so upset that everyone teases him because his name is Professor Pee-Pee Poopypants that he forces the world to change their names,” Blanchett previously toldJimmy Kimmel.
“They have this interior code, and they give these examples of names. You go down to ‘I’ and the example is Ignatius. It was like the Virgin Mary going ‘Boom!’ ”
What's Next for Cate Blanchett?
Blanchett has an exciting gig coming up. She's set to join Selena Gomez in The Brutalist director Brady Corbet's next film with Michael Fassbender, Variety reported back in May.
While plot details seem to be pretty under wraps, Corbet has said in interviews that he was looking to make an “X-rated” feature set in the ’70s.
“The film spans from the 19th century into the present day — it’s just predominantly focused on the ’70s. The film is really, really genre-defying,” he previously told the Hollywood Reporter. Now that sounds interesting!
