The fashion industry’s seemingly endless supply of new clothes is actually quite harmful. According to McKinsey, almost 97 percent of clothing eventually ends up in a landfill, and 60 percent of clothing does so within 12 months of being manufactured. That’s why it’s more important than ever that we reframe the conversation around rewearing your outfit. For decades, it was considered a fashion faux paux for even the average style enthusiast, who wouldn’t dare repeat a look twice in the social media age. For celebrities, it was an even rarer occurrence; with the help of stylists and designers at their beck and call, there was simply no need for outfit repeats. But given fashion’s tremendous waste problem, we’re finally seeing a shift. Sustainability has taken a front seat in recent years, proving that outfit repeating is more than acceptable; it helps reduce waste, pollution, and prevents clothing from ending up in landfills.
Today’s biggest celebrities are now repeating some of their most unique looks without shame. Jennifer Lopez rewore her iconic green Versace dress in 2019, and Tiffany Haddish wore a white Alexander McQueen dress on three separate occasions, three years in a row. Kate Middleton has also developed a penchant for repeating outfits on many occasions, including the burgundy Catherine Walker coat dress she wore on Christmas Day in 2018 and the Commonwealth Service in 2020, respectively. She also recycled her Alexander McQueen gown worn in 2019, at the 2023 BAFTAs.
Most recently, on July 15, Emma Watson made an appearance at Wimbledon 2023 wearing an Oscar de la Renta lace minidress, which she previously wore to a “Beauty and the Beast” press conference in 2017. Both times, Watson kept the styling subtle with delicate jewelry and free-flowing strands. For her 2017 appearance, however, the actress added a bright-pink lip for a pop of color.
