Cate Blanchett wears Cutler and Gross CGSN-1394-57 sunglasses in the movie Black Bag (2025).

The vintage aviator-style glasses have a dark tortoise frame and blue lenses. 

The costume designer wanted to lean into “London coolness” and evoke the styles of the ’70s for a modern audience, so these Cutler and Gross were perfect as an archive Cutler and Gross frame from the '70s was the inspiration for the 1394 model.

Retail price is $630, but the best deal for the Cutler and Gross 1394 is at Specs Collective.
