12 Celebrities Who Don’t Think Twice About Repeating Outfits

Most of the clothes we throw away can either be recycled or reused, says research. In fact, reusing 1kg (2.2 pounds) of clothing can save up to 25kg (55 pounds) of CO2. Perhaps with the planet’s needs in mind or simply because they enjoy them, some of those in the spotlight aren’t shy about coming out in a past outfit. Whether months or years later, these celebrities sure know how to rock the same clothes.

1. Kate Middleton

2. Cate Blanchett

3. Sharon Stone

4. Jane Fonda

5. Princess Diana

As a true fashion icon, Diana was one of the first royals to recycle clothes. She wore this blue Catherine Walker gown for the first time in 1987 during an official visit to Lisbon, Portugal. In 1989, she wore the remade dress to a charity ball.

6. Jennifer Lopez

One of the most iconic dresses is Jennifer Lopez’s jungle-green Versace dress. J.Lo wore it to the forty-second Grammy Awards ceremony in 2000. The dress caused a furor and became a highlight in media culture. Nearly 20 years later, the singer repeated this iconic outfit for Versace’s spring/summer 2020 show in Milan.

7. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also follow this good tradition. They’ve appeared in the same coats in public several times. In 2017, the Duchess of Sussex wore the same coat in a more low-key color to her first Christmas celebration with the royal family.

8. Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood is a fashion rebel and an activist that works hard to stop climate change. She certainly doesn’t follow to the rule of not wearing the same outfit twice. Also, she once advised Kate Middleton to re-wear one of her outfits to help the environment.

9. Monica Bellucci

The Italian actress and model first wore the elegant dress to the premiere of her new movie, Spider in the Web in 2019. A year later, Monica re-wore the black gown to the Christian Dior Womenswear spring/summer 2020 show.

10. Anna Wintour

11. Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall

12. Selena Gomez
