- Kate Winslet recycled a dress she wore seven years ago for the "Avatar: The Way of Water" premiere.
- The actress originally wore the dress to the 2015 Toronto Film Festival.
Kate Winslet rewore a dress from seven years ago for the "Avatar: The Way of Water" premiere on Tuesday.
The gray gown, which People reports was designed by Badgley Mischka, featured a halter neck and sequin adornments on the front. Winslet first wore it to "The Dressmaker" premiere at the 2015 Toronto Film Festival.
In 2015, the actress wore the gown with diamond earrings, metallic eyeshadow, and her hair in an updo. For Tuesday's premiere, Winslet opted for similar accessories and beauty, this time adding larger earrings and side-swooped bangs to the ensemble.
In a 2020 interview with Vanity Fair's Julie Miller, the "Titanic" star said she decided during the COVID-19 pandemic that she would start repeating dresses for events.
"The dresses, the stress, the dress fittings … It's so stressful, and I know that sounds like, 'Oh, here goes Kate Winslet talking about how stressful it is to do dress fittings for award shows.' But it is stressful," she said. "I don't like having to squeeze my hot-and-bothered mum-on-the-school-run body randomly into a red carpet dress that I'm never going to wear again."
Other celebrities, including Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cate Blanchett, have also recycled red-carpet outfits in recent years. Tiffany Haddish famously wore a white Alexander McQueen gown multiple times, including at a premiere, a hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live," and to the 2018 Oscars, citing the $4,122 price tag.
Royals like Kate Middleton and Princess Anne have also reworn looks. For the Trooping the Colour in June, the Princess of Wales repeated an Alexander McQueen look she debuted at the G7 Summit in 2021.
