This year's BAFTA Awards is turning the red carpet 'green' with a new sustainability-focused dress code. All attendees have been asked to consider re-wearing an outfit they already own or to choose another sustainable option, like wearing something vintage. The request isn't mandatory, but it's likely we will see a lot of vintage dresses and maybe even some re-worn dresses on the carpet tonight.
All of the attendees have received a guide created by the London College of Fashion’s Centre for Sustainability asking them to think about the environmental footprint of their wardrobe choices.
"Sustainability is very important to BAFTA, and we’re doing more than ever before. The goal is that the EE British Academy Film Awards 2020 will be carbon neutral, working towards having a net positive impact on the environment. From travel and food, to branding and materials, BAFTA is ensuring the awards are as sustainable as possible," a spokesperson said.
Additionally, BAFTA is using all-electric cars to chauffeur guests to and from the red carpet.
