After picking up the Best Actor Oscar (and the Golden Globe, and the BAFTA, and the Critics’ Choice Award) for Joker, today Joaquin Phoenix can finally hang up the Stella McCartney suit that has seen him through his unstoppable awards season run. Phoenix’s minimal-waste approach came in for some internet sniping from those who remarked that the pressure to dazzle on multiple red carpets in a row rests largely on female shoulders (seen one dinner jacket, you’ve seen them all), but sustainability was certainly in the air on Oscar night.

The actor and director Elizabeth Banks wore a 16-year-old Badgley Mischka dress to “bring global awareness to the importance of sustainability in fashion”
Modern ingénue Kaitlyn Dever chose a red Louis Vuitton gown made with sustainable and ethically-sourced materials, in support of the Red Carpet Green Dress initiative. Former Bond girl Léa Seydoux also acted as an RCGD ambassador – her own monochrome Vuitton gown was crafted from eco-friendly Tencel luxe yarn. The top of Best Actress nominee Saoirse Ronan’s Gucci gown, meanwhile, was made using leftover fabric from the dress she wore to the BAFTAs, which was also Alessandro Michele’s handiwork.

Several other female stars chose not to commission new looks at all for Hollywood’s biggest night, opting instead for vintage dresses or, in some cases, old favourites from their existing wardrobes. Jane Fonda’s sequin-spangled Elie Saab couture previously had an outing six years ago at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. Elizabeth Banks, meanwhile, went even further back in her awards season archive, selecting a red Badgley Mischka gown she first wore on Oscar night 16 years ago. “It’s gorgeous and it fits… so why not wear it again?!” the actor and director wrote on Instagram, adding that her goal was to “bring global awareness to the importance of sustainability in fashion and consumerism as it relates to climate change, production & consumption, ocean pollution, labour & women”.

More noteworthy vintage looks came courtesy of Penélope Cruz and Margot Robbie, both of whom wore archive Chanel, and Lily Aldridge, who conjured Old Hollywood glamour in a white vintage Ralph Lauren dress. Even Kim Kardashian West, increasingly fond of a showstopping archive look, opted for pre-loved. She arrived at the Vanity Fair party in the Oyster gown from Alexander McQueen’s spring/summer 2003 collection, Irere.

Kardashian West sourced the look from the same archive fashion boutique that Jennifer Aniston and the Olsen twins tap up for red-carpet vintage, LILY et Cie. Kim’s is one of only two Oyster gowns ever produced – the other one is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection.
