Kate Middleton Rewears a Chic Polka-Dot Dress One Year Later

The fashion industry's seemingly endless supply of new clothes is actually quite harmful. According to McKinsey, almost 97% of clothing eventually ends up in a landfill, and 60% of clothing does so within 12 months of being manufactured. That's why it's more important than ever that we reframe the conversation around rewearing your outfit. For decades, it was considered a fashion faux paux for even the average style enthusiast, who wouldn't dare repeat a look twice in the social media age. For celebrities, it was an even rarer occurrence; with the help of stylists and designers at their beck and call, there was simply no need for outfit repeats. But given fashion's tremendous waste problem, we're finally seeing a shift. Sustainability has taken a front seat in recent years, proving that outfit repeating is more than acceptable; it helps reduce waste, pollution, and prevents clothing from ending up in landfills.

Today's biggest celebrities are now repeating some of their most unique looks without shame. Jennifer Lopez rewore her iconic green Versace dress in 2019, and Tiffany Haddish wore a white Alexander McQueen dress on three separate occasions, three years in a row. Kate Middleton has also developed a penchant for repeating outfits on many occasions, including the burgundy Catherine Walker coat dress she wore on Christmas Day in 2018 and the Commonwealth Service in 2020, respectively. She also recycled her Alexander McQueen gown worn in 2019, at the 2023 BAFTAs.

Most recently, on June 27, Kate Middleton made an appearance at the opening of Hope Studios facilities wearing an Alessandra Rich polka dot dress, which she previously wore to Wimbledon in 2022. Both times, Princess Kate added a pair of white ankle-strap pumps and wore her free-flowing hair off her face. For her latest 2023 appearance, however, the Princess of Wales added a white mini bag for an extra polished flair.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
