Stella McCartney, who designed it, thinks so – but not everyone is so sure. And what happens to other stars’ jackets after they have worn them for one ceremony?
At last some good news for the planet: in conjunction with a general plea for sustainability, Joker star Joaquin Phoenix has vowed to re-purpose his
Golden Globes tuxedo by wearing it to other awards ceremonies. Instead of, you know, wearing a brand new one each time.
To be fair to Phoenix, he did not make this pledge publicly. He was outed by Stella McCartney – who designed the tux in question – in a tweet that attracted its far share of ridicule. “This man is a winner,” she wrote, “wearing custom Stella because he chooses to make choices for the future of the planet. He has also chosen to wear this same Tux for the entire award season to reduce waste.” You can imagine the replies. “He’s wearing a suit more than once,” read one. “Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela take a seat a new hero is in town.”
