Avoid sequins and don’t throw away wine-stained outfits, Bafta tells stars Leave a comment

It states that “sustainability is about cherishing it through careful laundry, maintenance and repair”, and has pointed film stars in the direction of “home repair kits” for their outfits.

Along with washed and repaired items, celebrities may also consider wearing second-hand clothes, or renting outfits for the evening, according to the guide issued ahead of the 2022 awards.

‘Positive movement toward no longer feeling the need to own things’

It adds that “there’s a positive movement toward no longer feeling the need to own things, but still getting to enjoy them”, in a reiteration of a message first relayed to stars ahead of the 2020 Baftas.

That year saw attending acting talent, which on the night included Olivia Colman, given advice on how to make their wardrobes more sustainable – including buying second-hand clothing.

Bafta has pledged to stage carbon-neutral ceremonies, and continues to make reforms to its annual show and persuade celebrities to make greener sartorial choices. Guests will also be encouraged to take coaches and not cars to the ceremony.
