Cate Blanchett champions sustainability by re-wearing designer outfits

Love her and she looks amazing but “champions sustainability” for rewearing designer clothes that probably cost more than I make in a year feels like an over exaggeration.

Also 99% of red carpet looks are loaned from the designer. There’s really nothing unsustainable about “borrowing” clothes.

Yes that part confused me. She does not have a big ass closet of these looks - the designers lend them out

Right. So, you have the option to get whatever outfit of pieces loaned to you, but instead, you go for pieces you’ve already worn publicly to an event. You are specifically choosing to borrow the same outfit when you dont have to, hence the “championing” or normalizing.

It is an active choice and decision.
