Best recycled red carpet looks from A-list stars as Rebel Wilson rewears her Oscars gown

Rebel Wilson is the latest A-list celebrity to recycle her red carpet look after she was spotted wearing the same gold gown to the Oscars.

The Pitch Perfect star took to Instagram to reveal she was “sustainably re-wearing” the dress by Jason Wu.

It is the second time in three years the 43-year-old has worn the same dress to the Oscars ceremony.

She first wore the sequin-covered floor-length number back in 2020, around the time she embarked on her self-imposed ‘year of health’.

This saw Rebel – who has appeared onscreen as character ‘Fat Amy’ - drop 77lbs (5.5 stone) in the past few years.

But instead of buying something new for the Oscars ceremony last week, the actress recycled her gold gown look again for 2023.

Here we look at some of the other A-list stars who love to recycle their red carpet looks...

Fellow Aussie actress Cate Blanchett is one of the celebrities most known for recycling her red carpet looks.

She even shares a stylist with Rebel, Elizabeth Stewart, who has called Cate’s look ‘chic on repeat’.

The 53-year-old Tar actress has re-worn red carpet outfits more than 10 times - and even had dresses modified so they appear different, but are the same.

Cate wore this black Armani dress to the Costume Designers Guild Awards in LA back in 2016.

But it got another outing in a modified form with lace detailing at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in February 2023.

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet was such a fan of the glamorous Badgley Mischka gown she first wore 2015 to the Toronto Film Festival, she wore it again seven years later.

The Titanic star was spotted recycling the look on the red carpet for the world premiere of Avatar: The Way Of Water in London in 2022.

Proving new isn't always best, the 47-year-old looked even better in the charcoal halterneck dress the second time she wore it.

Gwyneth Paltrow

She always stuns on the red carpet, but this look from Gwyneth Paltrow is a double red carpet winner.

The 50-year-old Goop founder wowed when she first wore this red velvet Gucci suit to the MTV VMA Awards way back in 1996.

And it made a comeback 25 years later when Gwyneth wore it to Gucci's 100-year anniversary party Los Angeles in 2021.

Instead of a white shirt, she opted for a powder blue one this time, but this classic suit has definitely stood the test of time.

Kate Moss

Supermodel Kate Moss first wore this chic black midi dress with maribou feather trim to the Cannes Film Festival in 1998.

At the time she was dating film star Johnny Depp and his movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas had just been released.

Fast forward seven years and a blonder Kate was snapped wearing the exact same dress again in 2004 on a night out in New York.

Spice Girl Victoria Beckham loves clothes so now runs her own successful fashion label.

But the 48-year-old mum-of-four is also a big fan of re-wearing her own creations, which is also great for her brand exposure.

Vic was first pictured in this stunning white suit at the 2019 GQ Men of the Year Awards.

It made a re-appearance less than 12 months later when she again wore it to the British Vogue and Tiffany & Co. Fashion and Film Party at Annabel's in 2020.

Jennifer Lopez

When Jennifer Lopez wore this plunging palm leaf Versace dress to the Grammy Awards back in 2000 it became one of the most iconic looks of all time.

It was so popular, it sparked the creation of Google images as so many people were searching for it and was one of the first things to 'break the internet'.

The Shotgun Wedding star, now 53, got a standing ovation when she wore it again on the runway during Milan Fashion Week in 2019, almost 20 years later.

And J-Lo hardly looked like she had aged a day!
