As red carpets are getting greener (and the earth getting warmer), wearing pre-loved pieces is no longer a fashion faux pas. Sustainability-minded stars, Hollywood stylists and wardrobe designers readily reveal that thrifting and borrowing are their favorite pastimes for finding unique designer pieces.

“I appreciate the recycling aspect of previously-owned clothing,” Westworld costume designer Shay Cunliffe has told The Hollywood Reporter, while April Napier (Lady Bird), Ayanna James (Insecure) and Staci Greenbaum (Broad City) have also revealed that treasures from thrift stores and vintage markets have helped to tell characters’ sartorial stories.

Others who have promoted sustainable retail therapy include celebrity stylist Karla Welch, Olivia Wilde and designer Christian Siriano, who previously collaborated with online resale platform ThredUp. And Hollywood stylists Mimi Cuttrell (who dresses Priyanka Chopra), Monica Rose and Dani Michelle have opted to borrow pieces from designer rental showroom Janet Mandell, which has locations in Chicago and Los Angeles.

For those who want to curate a more sustainable closet, buying pre-loved pieces is one way to go. And unlike the early days of virtual shopping, buying used designer pieces online no longer comes with the uncertainty of potentially getting a fake. Resale sites and luxury consignment retailers such as eBay, Fashionphile, Rebag and The RealReal authenticate their luxury goods and some have an in-house team of experts who ensure you’re getting the real deal when buying online.

Other ways to shop like a Hollywood insider while honoring Mother Earth? Switch to zero-waste or plastic-free products (Emma Roberts and Drew Barrymore use refillable products), use an online clothing rental subscription or choose earth-friendlier garments that spin waste (such as ocean plastics or worn-out pieces) into new silhouettes.
