Sustainability has become a hot topic in fashion, and Cate Blanchett is putting it front-and-center on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. The jury president is stepping out for the festival’s opening fete Tuesday night wearing an intricately detailed, black lace look that keen style watchers may recognize: it’s the same Armani Prive gown she wore to the 2014 Golden Globes.
"From couture to T-shirts, landfills are filled with garments that have been unnecessarily discarded," Blanchett tells THR exclusively. "Particularly in today’s climate, it seems willful and ridiculous that such beautiful garments are not cherished and reworn for a lifetime."
