Cate Blanchett
In 2018, the Australian actress discussed the importance of wardrobe recycling with The Hollywood Reporter, saying, "Particularly in today's climate, it seems willful and ridiculous that such garments are not cherished and re-worn."
Her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, echoed the sentiment, encouraging women and men to disregard the notion that an outfit can’t be worn more than once. "We need to get the word out to get rid of this ridiculous notion that dresses cannot be worn twice! Beautiful clothes should last a lifetime."

Jane Fonda
In 2019, Jane Fonda promised to never buy a new piece of clothing again to raise awareness of climate change - and it seems she stuck to that promise, pulling out a dress she'd previously worn for the 2020 Oscars. The actress re-wore an Elie Saab gown she'd previously worn at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014.
Rita Moreno
Iconic actress Rita Moreno - who is among some of the very few to hold an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy Oscar and Tony) - dipped into the archives for her appearance at the 2018 Academy Awards. She first wore this dress to the 1962 Academy Awards, where she won Best Supporting Actress for her role in West Side Story.
