**Cate Blanchett** has walked the red carpet at a socially distanced opening ceremony of the *Venice Film Festival* in Italy this week - and she's putting the spotlight on sustainability in fashion.

The Hollywood star who's one of this year's jury members, wore a mask with her full-length **Esteban Cortazar** gown, which came out of her iconic fashion closet.

In a post on social media, her stylist **Elizabeth Stewart** writes, "IT'S CHIC TO REPEAT! #CateBlanchett has decided to rewear some of her cherished looks at this year's Venice Film Festival like this @EstebanCortazarOfficial worn to tonight's opening that was first worn to a premiere in 2015\. In her words, beautiful things can come out of sustainability!"

**Cate** originally wore the dress five years ago, at the *Carol* film premiere in London.

"When planning for any important event, make sure to look in your own closet first!" **Stewart** wrote on Instagram earlier this week.

"Clothes are meant to be cherished and worn again and again. Even if you are a world-famous actress."

Yes they are!

The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world, after the oil industry and is [responsible for more than 10% of global carbon emissions.](https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2019/09/23/costo-moda-medio-ambiente?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) That's more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined!

So will the likes of **Cate Blanchett** repeating her outfits make any significant change?

I'm going with yes.

While the actual amount of carbon, water and materials being saved may be negligible, what **Cate** is doing is raising awareness about the importance of re-using and repeating in a modern world which thrives on the complete opposite.

She's making it fashionable to re-wear what's already in our closets instead of feeling the pressure to buy new.

She's helping us think twice about the choices we make in our own lives.

And *that's something,* isn't it?

**Cate** will also be [donating the gown to an auction](https://www.chic-relief.com/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) raising funds for **UN Women** and **Facing History,** an organisation helping teachers and their students fight bigotry and racism.
