Hello Everyone! For this week’s post we’re going to be discussing the looks from the Golden Globes, but there’s a twist. Instead of giving you all a best dressed list, I will be giving other ways the looks worn can be styled to rewear. I was very inspired by Cate Blanchett and Viola Davis. Both women rewore looks they’ve previously dawned at other red carpets, and looked classy and beautiful. Their looks made me wonder how outfits worn by other attendees at the Golden Globes could be restyled or reworked for other events.
How to Rewear the Looks
Zendaya
Zendaya looked absolutely mesmerizing at this year’s Golden Globes. Her look was very old Hollywood with the soft curls in the bob, and the flowing satin train. I imagine Zendaya could rewear this Louis Vuitton gown by removing the train, and swapping out the tangerine heels for cobalt suede heels. In addition, instead of the diamond Bulgari necklace she could wear a tighter blue sapphire choker. For her hair, I still imagine some soft waves, but her hair is mid back length. My look idea is a little more toned down, but it’d still look elegant on the carpet.
Cate Blanchett
The queen of rewears Mrs.Cate Blanchett once again showed us all that we can’t let beautiful clothing sit in our closet. It’s a complete waste of the beautiful and expensive clothes we purchase. With this gown, I’d like to see it a little shorter at the knee. Then, carry the hemline to the calf using the mesh fabric seen on her shoulders to create an a-line skirt. Some gold pumps and her hair pulled back to top it all off.
Viola Davis
Viola Davis looked so powerful in this gown at the Golden Globes. A gown she actually wore last year at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. If she were to rewear this gown again, I’d love to see it off the shoulder. For jewelry, she could wear a necklace with a purple teardrop pendant. I would keep the hair the same because her voluminous natural hair would show off the necklace and frame her face.
Tilda Swinton
Swinton’s top looks so well crafted and sophisticated, but I feel like it can also be dressed down. With some looser fitting light blue jeans and a white heel the top would look so nice at like a more casual event like a gallery opening or even a brunch. The top is so simple that I can see it being worn in multiple ways.
Jeremy Strong
Jeremy Strong’s looks was definitely a standout amongst the mens looks, but I admire the risk he took. He didn’t get lost in the crowd of boring black suits. For this rewear, he should scrap the jacket and sweater. Instead, I can see a bulky cream sweatshirt or hoodie. Keep the bucket hat, and for the shoes some tan adidas tan gazelles. It’s casual, but fun.
In a world where fast fashion is steadily creeping on us, it’s important we all look at what we have in our closets instead of immediately scrolling through H&M or Zara for new clothes. The ones that can help spread the rewear movement are celebrities. They’re constantly attending red carpets and events where they’ll be photographed. By rewearing their clothes, they encourage fans to practice sustainability, and slow down the effects fast fashion.
Thank you a for reading this week’s post. I hope you all feel encouraged to rewear some of your old clothes especially formalwear. I know you see that one dress form your sorority formal sitting in your closet. Wear it again. I promise you’ll look even better because you’re being more sustainable by rewearing instead of purchasing something new. Make sure to subscribe to be notified of new posts. Stay sharp 😉
