When Cate Blanchett appeared on the Cannes film festival carpet wearing a stunning Armani Privé lace outfit, something was familiar to us. And we were right! The actress had already worn this same dress at the Golden Globes ceremony in 2014.

For an actress to repeat dressed in this type of gala event is unusual, do you want to know why the actress did it? For a good cause.

The Australian wanted to join the Green Carpet Challenge started by Livia Firth, the activist, creative director of Eco Age and wife of actor Colin Firth, for which celebrities such as Emma Watson, Giselle Bundchen and now Cate Blanchett take advantage of their time on the red carpets most exclusive in the world to support sustainable fashion firms and draw attention to the social and environmental impact of the fashion industry, one of the most polluting on the planet.

"From sewing to T-shirts, landfills are full of garments that have been unnecessarily discarded," Blanchett told the Hollywood Reporter website. "It seems stubborn and ridiculous that in today's climate these suits are not valued and reused for a lifetime."

Her stylist Elizabeth Stewart, whom we recently interviewed, also supports the cause of more sustainable fashion. "I think the stigma that exists about repeating a dress is arbitrary, it is a rule that will disappear like that of not wearing white after Labor Day," Stewart told Vogue. “True beauty and art endure. I can't bear the waste of perpetuating a “wear only once” rule for a gorgeous outfit and I thought this was the perfect place to prove it.”
