ForElizabeth Banks,Oscarsfashion only gets better with time.
In 2004, the actress and director wore a strappy red Badgley Mischka gown to the annualVanity FairOscars Party. Rather than picking out another new dress for the same event in 2020, Banks decided to ask her stylists, Wendy and Nicole Ferreira, to re-work her old gown to help her promote sustainability in fashion.
“It’s gorgeous and it fits…so why not wear it again?!” Banks askedon Instagram. “Proud to wear my@badgleymischkadress that I first wore to@vanityfair#oscarsparty in 2004, re-imagined with@wendiandnicole, to bring global awareness to the importance of sustainability in fashion and consumerism as it relates to climate change, production & consumption, ocean pollution, labor & women.”
Banks said she came up with the look with the help of two foundations:RAD, or Red Carpet Advocacy, a group dedicated to helping actors use their platform on the red carpet to advocate for important causes; and theNew Standard Institute, aimed at making fashion brands more sustainable.
