Although shiny on the red carpet they ‘hide serious socio-environmental impacts’
Fashion insiders are warning the great and the good of
Hollywood not to wear sequins on the Academy Awards red carpet because of their terrible environmental impact.
Last Sunday at the Baftas, despite guests being urged to opt for more planet-friendly
fashion choices, Scarlett Johansson wore a sequinned pink Versace dress, Rebel Wilson was wrapped in a red sequin custom-made Prabal Gurung gown and Naomie Harris shone in silver sequinned Michael Kors. At the
Grammys and
Golden Globes last month, the red carpets were similarly awash with sequins.
