When Stella McCartney announced on Instagram that Joaquin Phoenix will be wearing the same costume at every awards ceremony, the public was surprised. Phoenix is not really the iconic fashion icon, Timothée Chalamet, but his choice immediately reminds us of the debate over the environmental impact of celebrity wardrobes. Premiere, festivals and ceremonies endlessly require the creation of new outfits and deliver them to various locations around the world by aircraft. Given these factors, many stars have found a way to minimize the damage to the environment while capturing the media on the red carpet. Actresses like Emma Watson and Rooney Mara dress only from ecological firms and choose old dresses, however, the simplest way to lessen the negative impact on the environment is to wear the same dress several times.
Before, celebrities had to wear something new every time they went public, but lately, those expectations have dissipated. Tiffany Haddish donned the same dress she bought for the premiere of "Girls Trip" full five times. And he's not the only one.
When Kim Kardashian found a pair of piton pants from Gucci's spring / summer 2000 collection, she made sure to bring out her money. The reality star has worn his pants at least four times and combined them with Roberto Cavalli's body, Dior men's jacket and more. Victoria Beckham also donned one of her costumes at a GQ celebration and in launching her collaboration with Augustinus Bader proving that a white suit is worn everywhere.
The trend is also followed by the royal family. To be closer to the people, Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia and Meghan Markle wear the clothes they buy several times.
Beyond the good we do to the environment by using a garment more than once, we do a good job to the creators, honoring their work.
