8 Stars Who Rewore Their Old Outfits — With Calista Flockhart Dialing It Back to 1999!

Rather than consistently opting for new, high-end designer outfits, many stars nowadays have embraced recycling and wearing their beloved garments on multiple occasions. This emerging trend brings a sense of freshness and conveys an important message concerning sustainability and the urgent need to minimize waste in fashion.

1. Calista Flockhart

Calista Flockhart rewore a stunning skirt from more than two decades ago while supporting her husband, Harrison Ford, at the Los Angeles premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The actress, 58, walked the red carpet in the same floor-sweeping skirt she wore to the 1999 Emmy Awards.

2. Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett wore this black lace Armani Privé gown in 2014 to the Golden Globes. She wore it again at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018 and again in this reworked form to the 2023 SAG awards.

Cate first wore this Alexander McQueen embroidered gown in 2016. Then wore the dress’s bodice with tailored trousers in 2020 to the Venice Film Festival.

3. Tiffany Haddish

Tiffany Haddish first wore this Alexander McQueen dress to the Girls Trip premiere in 2017. She donned the dress several times after that. When she hosted SNL, at the MTV Movie Awards, at the Academy Awards, and when she appeared on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman.

Haddish shared how sentimental the dress is to her. She said, “It was like, wow, I’m having these huge moments in this dress. I spent so much money, and every time I wear it, it’s like another huge moment. Maybe the next time I wear it, it’ll be at my wedding reception!”

4. Rita Moreno

Rita Moreno wore this gown to the 1962 Oscars when she won for her performance in West Side Story.

She wore the same dress, over 5 decades later, to the 2018 Oscars.

5. Helen Mirren

Dame Helen Mirren has worn this dress multiple times. She wore it to the 2012 UK premiere of Hitchcock, then again in 2013 to the Chelsea Flower Show.

She stepped out in the dress again in 2014 for a Gala and again in 2015 to go to the premiere of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

6. Elizabeth Banks

Banks first wore this gown at the 2004 Vanity Fair Oscar party and then again 16 years later at the same party.

She shared a post on social media where she wrote, “It’s gorgeous, and it fits...so why not wear it again?!”

7. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth wore this red velvet Gucci suit to the 1996 VMAs. The suit was designed by Tom Ford.

She then wore the suit to Gucci’s Love Parade fashion show in Los Angeles in 2021.

8. Kate Winslet

During the Toronto International Film Festival in 2015, Kate Winslet graced the event in a remarkable Badgley Mischka gown. Surprisingly, she chose to wear the same gown again in 2022 for the premiere of Avatar: The Way of the Water, boldly expressing her intention to continue repeating outfits.

By adorning themselves in garments crafted from recycled materials, these famous people elevated the concept of eco-fashion. Even members of royalty occasionally embrace the practice of re-wearing outfits.
